CydandClaude Fable 5 deaade4f72 Track the 410console hand-off docs; ignore the raw Mac archive
The BattleTech port spec, the Console 4.10 decompilation notes, the golden
reference eggs, and the PEF/rsrc analysis tools come into the repo. The .sit
archive and its extraction (Mac binaries, __MACOSX/.finf metadata) stay
untracked for now.

"""
ppcxref.py -- TOC-aware PPC annotator for the Console 4.10 PEF.
Resolves r2(TOC)-relative loads to data addresses and, when those point at
C strings, annotates the disassembly. Also builds a string cross-reference:
which code addresses reference which strings.
r2 (TOC base) = data section offset 0x8000 (from the main transition vector).
Usage:
py -3.13 ppcxref.py annotate <start> <count> # annotated disasm
py -3.13 ppcxref.py xref <substring> # find code refs to strings matching substring
py -3.13 ppcxref.py toc <hexoff> # what does TOC[-off(r2)] point to
