description: "Audit NES mappers, project builder, and CC65 ROM compilation" argument-hint: "[--focus <dims>]"

Mapper / Project-Builder / Compiler Audit

Audit the subsystem that turns generated music data into a buildable, bootable NES ROM: the mapper abstraction (mappers/), the project builder (nes/project_builder.py), and the CC65 compile path (compiler/). This is a correctness audit — the output is a binary that must boot on hardware, so the bar is high: a wrong header byte, a stale vector, or an undetected PRG overrun ships a broken ROM.

Shared protocol (layout, dedup, finding format): .claude/commands/_audit-common.md. Severity definitions and the NES-hardware floors: .claude/commands/_audit-severity.md. Do not restate them here. For any claim about mapper registers, bank windows, or iNES header bytes, cite docs/MAPPER_MMC1_REFERENCE.md or docs/MAPPER_MMC3_REFERENCE.md rather than asserting from memory — re-read the relevant section before reporting.

Reminder from _audit-common.md: the prepare stage writes main.asm/music.asm/nes.cfg plus a build script, and compile runs ca65/ld65 then checks a minimum ROM size. Per CLAUDE.md, prepare and run_full_pipeline default to MMC3 — but verify that against the code, and treat any doc that still says MMC1 as drift (Dimension 10).

This subsystem went through a heavy bug-fixing pass recently (mapper default resolution, capacity pre-flight, header/segment fixes, CC65 subprocess hardening, build-script routing). Several dimensions below now describe fixed behavior — the instruction in each case is to verify the fix is complete and hunt for edge cases it doesn't cover, not to re-report the original bug.

Parameters (from $ARGUMENTS)

• --focus <dims> — comma-separated dimension numbers (e.g. --focus 4,8). Default: all.

Extra Per-Finding Field

• Dimension: one of the 10 below.
• Hardware ref: the docs/MAPPER_*.md section backing any header/bank/register claim.

Dimensions

Dimension 1: iNES header ↔ nes.cfg consistency

For each of mappers/nrom.py, mappers/mmc1.py, mappers/mmc3.py, cross-check generate_header_asm() against generate_linker_config() and the prg_rom_size / prg_bank_size / prg_bank_count properties from mappers/base.py:

• PRG-ROM count in the header byte must equal the total PRG region size in the linker MEMORY block. NROM declares $02 (2×16KB = 32KB) and a single PRG of $8000; MMC1 declares $08 (8×16KB = 128KB) as 7 switchable 16KB windows (PRG_BANK_00..06, $4000 each) plus a fixed PRGFIXED $4000 (112KB + 16KB) — #255 replaced the old single linear PRGSWAP region so ld65 can't alias the fixed bank; MMC3 declares 32 (×16KB = 512KB) across 60 swap banks (PRG_BANK_00..59, $2000 each) plus the fixed last 4×8KB, declared in physical-bank order PRG_A0/PRG_C0/PRG_80/PRG_FIX so PRG_80 (the $8000 window = mode-1 second-to-last, physical bank 62) and PRG_FIX (bank 63) land on the right physical banks (#291 — a wrong order silenced every MMC3 ROM). Add the MEMORY region sizes and confirm they equal prg_rom_size.
• The mapper-number nibble in the header flags byte must equal mapper_number (NROM $00→0, MMC1 $10→1, MMC3 $40→4; the mapper low nibble lives in the high nibble of flags-6 — confirm against docs/MAPPER_MMC3_REFERENCE.md).
• A header that claims a different mapper or PRG size than nes.cfg is HIGH (_audit-severity.md: "Mapper header / nes.cfg mismatch").

Dimension 2: reset/NMI/IRQ vectors and the 60Hz NMI music call

The reset/NMI/IRQ vectors at $FFFA–$FFFF must point at real code. Read the .segment "VECTORS" block emitted by _generate_main_asm() in nes/project_builder.py (the .word nmi / .word reset / .word irq triple, currently around lines 642–646) and confirm:

• All three labels (nmi, reset, irq) are defined in the same main.asm.
• reset ends by enabling NMI (lda #$80 / sta $2000, nes/project_builder.py:613-614) so the handler actually fires, and the nmi handler calls jsr update_music (nes/project_builder.py:629) once per frame (the 60Hz tick — see _audit-common.md "Playback runs at 60 FPS via NMI").
• In the linker config the VECTORS segment loads at exactly start = $FFFA and the preceding code region (NROM/MMC1 PRGFIXED, MMC3 PRG_FIX ending $FFF9) does not overlap it. A missing label, an NMI that never calls update_music, or vectors that don't land at $FFFA is CRITICAL (bad vectors). Commit 2d9c8dc ("make the default pipeline assemble, link, and boot", #5/#7/#39) fixed the default (MMC3, patterns-on) path specifically — verify it still boots and hasn't regressed.
• MMC1 only: MMC1 has no post-link vector fixup anymore. generate_linker_config() emits VECTORS: load = PRGFIXED, start = $FFFA (mappers/mmc1.py:103), telling ld65 to place the vectors at CPU $FFFA inside the fixed bank (file offset 0x2000A) directly. A previous generate_post_process_commands() step copied 6 bytes from file offset 0xFFFA (inside the switchable window, not the vectors) over the correctly placed vectors, bricking every MMC1 ROM built via build.sh — it was removed (#213), so MMC1Mapper now inherits BaseMapper.generate_post_process_commands() (a no-op). Verify ld65 still lands the vectors at 0x2000A unassisted, and that no mapper reintroduces a fixup that overwrites them.

Dimension 3: APU initialization in the boot path

A ROM whose APU is never initialized produces no/garbage sound and can leave channels in an undefined state. Trace the boot path: reset → jsr init_music. Both export paths now write $4015 and $4017 before playback (fixed by #7, part of 2d9c8dc) — verify this still holds and check for paths that might bypass it:

• Direct/table export (--no-patterns): exporter/exporter_ca65.py's init_music (around lines 756-768) writes lda #$40 / sta $4017 (frame counter mode 1, IRQ off) and lda #$0F / sta $4015 (enable all 4 channels), plus disables the pulse sweep units ($4001/$4005).
• Bytecode export: init_music jumps to audio_init (nes/audio_engine.asm, around lines 90-138), which performs the equivalent $4017/$4015 writes before returning.
• The DPCM play path (@write_dpcm in nes/audio_engine.asm, ~line 512) writes $4010/$4012/$4013 then toggles $4015 (disable-then-enable-with-DMC) to trigger playback — verify channel enables aren't left disabled after the trigger. (The old seq_cmd_dpcm_play copy in nes/project_builder.py was deleted as dead code — #314/EXP-12.)
• Missing APU init on any of these paths is CRITICAL per _audit-severity.md. Cite docs/NES_APU_REFERENCE.md for the register map and docs/APU_FRAME_COUNTER_REFERENCE.md for $4017.

Dimension 4: PRG capacity / overrun detection (the central risk)

This is now a wired pre-flight, not an open question — verify completeness and look for gaps it doesn't cover (#11, #126, #127, all fixed).

• check_mapper_capacity() (mappers/capacity.py:84-102, re-exported from main.py for existing from main import check_mapper_capacity callers — #363/MAP-2026-07-19-3) calls mapper.validate_segment_sizes(estimate_segment_sizes(music_asm_path)) and raises ValueError (caught and turned into a clean exit at the CLI layer) before any project files are written. It is invoked from run_prepare()/the full pipeline in main.py (main.py:491, :1070) AND, independently, from NESProjectBuilder.prepare_project() (nes/project_builder.py:140) — so a library consumer calling NESProjectBuilder(...).prepare_project(...) directly now gets the same pre-flight the CLI gets, not just an eventual raw ld65 overflow (closes the gap noted below). Separately, ROMCompiler.compile() (compiler/compiler.py:188-194) recovers the mapper from the nes.cfg marker via _recover_mapper_from_cfg when none is passed, and uses it for the post-link exact-size check (:242-252, rom_size == mapper.prg_rom_size + header) instead of the flat MIN_ROM_SIZE floor — a different check than check_mapper_capacity, but the same "library caller gets CLI-quality diagnostics" motivation.
• BaseMapper.validate_segment_sizes() (mappers/base.py:161-178) is a flat total-vs-get_data_capacity() check — correct for NROM/MMC1, which don't distribute data across banks. MMC3Mapper.validate_segment_sizes() (mappers/mmc3.py:171-222) overrides it to size each region separately: RODATA+CODE against the PRG_FIX budget, CODE_8000 against the 8KB $8000 window, and each bank index — summing BANK_NN + DPCM_NN that share the same physical PRG_BANK_NN region (#212) — against the 8KB bank size, plus a check that no bank index exceeds SWAP_BANK_COUNT (60) — this closes the "no cap on bank count" gap (#127).
• Remaining things to verify on each audit:
  • estimate_segment_sizes() (main.py:93-...) is a text-scan heuristic (regex counts over .byte/.word/.incbin per active .segment), not a real assembly. Check it can't systematically under-count (e.g. multi-directive lines, macros that expand to more bytes than one .byte/.word per line) in a way that lets an oversized song pass the pre-flight and hit a raw ld65 region-overflow instead — ld65 remains the correctness backstop, but a misleading pre-flight message is at least MEDIUM.
  • #363 (MAP-2026-07-19-3) is CLOSED: the capacity gate used to live entirely in main.py (the CLI layer), so a caller using NESProjectBuilder as a library directly (bypassing main.py) got no pre-flight and relied solely on ld65 erroring at link time — flagged as a defense-in-depth gap. check_mapper_capacity is now NESProjectBuilder.prepare_project()'s own call (nes/project_builder.py:140), not something only the CLI does on its behalf. Verify-the-fix: confirm the call still runs on the source music.asm before any of prepare_project's own transforms (matching what the CLI sizes), and that it fires unconditionally (not just when invoked via main.py) — e.g. by constructing NESProjectBuilder directly in a test and confirming an oversized song raises there too, not just through the CLI.
  • Sanity-check the capacity numbers themselves: NROM get_data_capacity() (mappers/nrom.py:67-69) returns 30KB against a 32KB ROM; BaseMapper's default (mappers/base.py:140-147) subtracts a flat 2048 bytes for code+vectors. Flag a capacity that doesn't leave room for the actual code/engine size as MEDIUM.
• Do not confuse this pre-flight with can_fit_data()/auto_select() — see Dimension 6; those are a separate mechanism not called from this path.

Dimension 5: bank-switching correctness (MMC1 / MMC3)

Re-derive the bank-switch sequences against the reference docs:

• MMC1 generate_init_code() (mappers/mmc1.py:75-100) uses the 5-write serial load (sta $8000…) with lsr a shifting one bit per write into the control/bank registers. Confirm the write count, the target register address, and the control value ($0C = 16KB PRG mode, fixed high bank) against docs/MAPPER_MMC1_REFERENCE.md. A wrong write count or address leaves the mapper in an undefined state (CRITICAL if it affects the bank holding running code).
• MMC3 generate_init_code() (mappers/mmc3.py:103-123) selects bank registers via $8000/$8001 (R6 $46, R7 $47) and generate_bank_switch_code() (lines 125-141) defines switch_dpcm_bank. Confirm the PRG mode bit, that R6/R7 map the windows the engine actually reads ($C000-$DFFF DPCM, $A000-$BFFF sequence — see fetch_sequence_byte in nes/project_builder.py ~lines 199-231), and that sta $E000 disables the MMC3 IRQ. Cross-check against docs/MAPPER_MMC3_REFERENCE.md.
• Verify the nes.cfg bank layout matches (mappers/mmc3.py:50-109): MMC3 maps banks 0–59 all at start = $C000 (so addresses resolve in the swap window) and the last four in physical-bank declaration order PRG_A0 ($A000), PRG_C0 ($C000), PRG_80 ($8000), PRG_FIX ($E000). This order is load-bearing: in PRG mode 1 the $8000 window is hardwired to the second-to-last physical bank, so PRG_80 (which hosts CODE_8000's period/instrument/macro tables the engine reads with absolute addressing) must be bank 62 and PRG_FIX bank 63. A prior order that put PRG_80 earlier made every note read $FF fill — silent ROM, green screen, no crash (#291). Confirm this matches how the engine swaps and reads.

Dimension 6: MapperFactory auto-selection

In mappers/factory.py, auto_select(data_size, direct=False) (lines 84-114) walks _default_mappers (nrom→mmc1→mmc3) and returns the first whose capacity check is true; the module-level get_mapper("auto", data_size=0) falls back to MMC3 when no size is given, deliberately matching the pipeline's hardcoded default (fixed by #25, commit 573890e; remaining doc-rot cleaned up by #43/#44, commit ab6f95d). Check on each audit:

• The ordering is genuinely smallest-first by capacity; the "nothing fits" branch raises with the largest mapper's capacity.
• auto_select() is now reached from the CLI (#217/MAP-6). resolve_mapper() (main.py:239) — called from run_prepare(), run_compile(), and the full pipeline — maps --mapper auto to MapperFactory.auto_select(estimate_music_data_size(...), direct=...), picking the smallest mapper that fits. The size-based auto-selection machinery is no longer test-only, so verify auto_select's ordering and the forced-mapper overrides below actually agree with what links.
• #361 (MAP-2026-07-19-1) is CLOSED: auto_select used to rank every mapper by the flat banked get_data_capacity() (NROM 30K < MMC1 112K < MMC3 522K) even for a direct (--no-patterns) export — but MMC3's direct export cannot bank-pack (every frame table lands in the single ~6K PRG_FIX bank), so for a direct song over ~112K, auto "picked" MMC3 and the direct pre-flight then immediately rejected it — a contradictory pick, not an overrun. BaseMapper.direct_export_capacity() (mappers/base.py:171-184, default = get_data_capacity(); MMC3Mapper overrides to the PRG_FIX budget, mappers/mmc3.py) and auto_select(direct=True) (ranks by direct_export_capacity() instead — mappers/factory.py:108) now exist, and all three direct-export call sites (resolve_mapper, run_export, run_full_pipeline in main.py) pass direct=True. MMC3 is now effectively excluded from direct-export auto-selection; an oversized direct song raises a clear "enable pattern compression" error. Verify-the-fix: confirm every direct-export call site still passes direct=True and that the bytecode (patterns-on) call sites do not (they should keep ranking by the full banked capacity).
• Beyond size, --mapper resolution enforces engine/mapper compatibility (verify each raises a clean ValueError, not a raw ld65 failure): resolve_mapper() forces MMC3 for a music.asm built by the MMC3 macro-bytecode (pattern) exporter; a direct (--no-patterns) export bin-packed for a banked mapper stamps ; Direct export bank-packed for <name> and is honored under auto / rejected on a mismatch (#283/#285); and enforce_direct_export_dpcm_mapper() forces MMC3 (or rejects an explicit mmc1/nrom) when a --no-patterns song has a DPCM channel, because the direct-export DPCM trigger and DPCM_NN segments are MMC3-only (#281/#282).
• #362 (MAP-2026-07-19-2) is CLOSED: unlike the bytecode and MMC1 bank-pack paths, a direct-export DPCM music.asm (necessarily MMC3, since play_dpcm writes MMC3's $8000/$8001 ports and DpcmPacker emits MMC3-only DPCM_NN segments) carried no marker — so the split prepare/compile flow, which only sees the finished music.asm, would honor a stray --mapper nrom and fail at ld65 with a cryptic "Missing memory area assignment for DPCM_00" instead of a clean error. export_direct_frames (exporter/exporter_ca65.py) now stamps a "; Direct export DPCM (MMC3-only)" marker when a DPCM channel is present, and resolve_mapper() forces MMC3 for auto / rejects a non-MMC3 explicit --mapper on that marker, mirroring the existing bytecode and bank-pack markers above. Verify-the-fix: confirm the marker is present in every direct-export music.asm that has a DPCM channel, and that resolve_mapper checks for it before the bank-pack marker (a song can't be both).
• A threshold that picks a mapper too small for the data (so it overruns) ties back to Dimension 4 and is CRITICAL, and is now reachable via --mapper auto — confirm the capacity pre-flight (Dimension 4) still catches any such pick before ld65.

Dimension 7: project builder writes a consistent, buildable project

NESProjectBuilder.prepare_project() (nes/project_builder.py:75-544) must emit a set of files ld65 can actually link with the chosen mapper:

• nes.cfg comes from self.mapper.generate_linker_config(); main.asm interpolates self.mapper.generate_header_asm() / generate_init_code() / generate_bank_switch_code(). Confirm every segment the asm uses (HEADER, ZEROPAGE, CODE, RODATA, BSS, VECTORS, CODE_8000, the DPCM_*/BANK_* segments) exists in that mapper's nes.cfg, and vice-versa (#215 removed MMC3's unused OAM region/segment — a stray OAM on either side is now drift). The default (MMC3, patterns-on) pipeline now assembles, links, and boots end-to-end (#5/#7/#39, 2d9c8dc) — re-verify this holds rather than re-deriving it from scratch each time.
• mappers/mmc3.py's generate_header_asm() (lines 38-48) emits bare .byte directives only, matching the NROM/MMC1 contract — the previous double .segment "HEADER" declaration is fixed (#22, commit 007f5c4). The standalone-export path in exporter/exporter_ca65.py (around lines 210-222) is now the sole owner of .segment "HEADER" for every mapper, and the stale comment that used to claim MMC3 embedded its own segment was corrected (#216). Verify the header segment is still emitted exactly once per build.
• ZP/BSS variable definitions vs .importzp/.global declarations must match between main.asm and music.asm (e.g. sequence_ptr, sequence_bank, frame_counter, switch_dpcm_bank). An undefined symbol surfaces only at link time. A project that cannot link is at least HIGH.

Dimension 8: compiler validation & CC65 error surfacing

compiler/compiler.py (ROMCompiler.validate_project / compile) and compiler/cc65_wrapper.py (CC65Wrapper.assemble / link / check_toolchain / get_version):

• validate_project() (compiler/compiler.py:39-65) requires main.asm, music.asm, nes.cfg. Confirm it actually runs before assembly and that the missing-file list is accurate.
• assemble() (compiler/cc65_wrapper.py:119-173) and link() (lines 175-236) check result.returncode != 0 and raise CompilationError carrying stderr. This is correct today — verify it stays that way.
• check_toolchain() (compiler/cc65_wrapper.py:34-81) and get_version() (lines 83-117) now resolve ca65/ld65 via shutil.which() first and probe --version on the resolved path, not the bare command name, with a try/except (FileNotFoundError, subprocess.TimeoutExpired) guard around each subprocess.run (fixed by #14, commit 48da1ea) — verify a vanished/renamed binary between the which() check and the probe still raises ToolchainError cleanly rather than an uncaught exception.
• compile_rom()'s broad except Exception (compiler/compiler.py:252-260) prints f"[ERROR] Compilation failed: {e}", returns False, and now calls traceback.print_exc() under --verbose (#32, fixed). Both callers thread the flag: run_compile() (main.py:472) and the full pipeline (main.py:1057) pass verbose=... to compile_rom(). Verify the traceback actually surfaces under --verbose, and that the typed CompilationError/ValidationError paths still print a clean one-liner without a stack dump.
• Build-script routing is fixed (#18, commit e68866a): _create_build_script() calls self.mapper.generate_build_script(is_windows) for every mapper. The post-link fixup gap is also closed (#214): ROMCompiler.compile() (compiler/compiler.py:113-222) now calls mapper.generate_post_process_commands() after linking (via _run_post_process) when a mapper is passed, so compiler.compile_rom()/main.py compile and build.sh run the same fixups. MMC1 no longer has a fixup at all (#213, Dimension 2), so the remaining things to verify are: any future mapper that adds one is exercised on both paths, and _run_post_process's shell=True only ever runs the static mapper-constant text it documents, never caller-derived strings.
• The --mapper flag now exists (export/prepare accept auto|nrom|mmc1|mmc3, compile accepts nrom|mmc1|mmc3; all default mmc3). prepare stamps the built mapper into nes.cfg as a leading ld65 comment (NES_CFG_MAPPER_MARKER, nes/project_builder.py:20, written at nes/project_builder.py:320), and compile recovers it authoritatively via _prepared_mapper_name_from_cfg() (main.py:218-236), falling back to --mapper only for older marker-less projects — so a marker-less NROM/MMC1 project no longer defaults to mmc3 and gets mis-sized (#297, fixed — verify it holds), and a prepare --mapper auto project now compiles (#269, fixed — verify it holds). The recovered name is still threaded through resolve_mapper() with the project's own music.asm so a mapper that can't run this project's bytecode engine is rejected cleanly (run_compile, main.py:460-463).
• Cross-reference (not owned by this audit): REG-10 (#128) — the ROM-compile integration tests in tests/test_rom_validation_integration.py used to pytest.skip() on a real compile_rom() failure instead of failing; this is now closed (#128). Re-verify the tests fail (not skip) on a compile regression rather than trusting the fix is permanent. See /audit-regression.

Dimension 9: ROM size check

compile() now takes a mapper argument (#28, fixed): when one is passed it checks the linked ROM's size against the mapper's exact declared size, mapper.prg_rom_size + INES_HEADER_SIZE (16), raising CompilationError on any mismatch (compiler/compiler.py:199-214). MIN_ROM_SIZE = 32768 (compiler/compiler.py:32) is now only the fallback floor used when mapper is None. Both CLI callers pass the resolved mapper, so the truncated-512KB-image gap is closed on the CLI path. Verify:

• The exact check uses the right expected size per mapper (NROM 32KB+16, MMC1 128KB+16, MMC3 512KB+16) and that a correctly linked ROM matches it exactly (ld65 fills every declared region, so the file should equal the declared size).
• The mapper is None fallback (library callers of compile_rom() that pass no mapper) still only enforces the flat 32768 floor — flag reliance on it as a defense-in-depth gap (MEDIUM), since a truncated large image ≥32768 bytes would slip past it.

Dimension 10: default-mapper doc drift

The codebase's "defaults" agree on MMC3: main.py:run_prepare (line 244) and run_full_pipeline (line 685) instantiate MMC3Mapper() explicitly; NESProjectBuilder.__init__ defaults mapper_name="auto"; and get_mapper("auto", data_size=0) falls back to MMC3 (mappers/factory.py:172-177). This conflict was resolved by #25 (commit 573890e) and remaining doc mentions cleaned up by #43/#44 (commit ab6f95d). Re-check on each audit rather than trusting this is permanent:

• grep -niE 'always use mmc1|default.*mapper|mmc1' README.md CLAUDE.md docs/*.md. As of this pass, CLAUDE.md and README.md consistently describe MMC3 as the pipeline default with MMC1/NROM as selectable; the only other mmc1 hits are legitimate (MMC1 register/bank-switch reference docs, an SRAM aside in docs/2A03_CPU_REFERENCE.md, and DPCM docs noting MMC1 as a capable mapper choice) — none reassert MMC1 as the default.
• Any code path or docs/*.md that reasserts MMC1 as the default is doc-rot (LOW); a real auto-vs-pipeline default disagreement (were one reintroduced — e.g. if main.py stopped passing an explicit mapper, or get_mapper("auto", 0) changed its fallback) would be MEDIUM.

Skeptical checklist (run before writing each finding)

• [ ] Sum the nes.cfg MEMORY regions — do they equal prg_rom_size? Does the header PRG byte agree?
• [ ] Does the mapper-number nibble in the header equal mapper_number? (cite the doc)
• [ ] Are nmi/reset/irq all defined, and does nmi jsr update_music?
• [ ] Does reset enable NMI (sta $2000) and init the APU ($4015/$4017) via init_music/audio_init?
• [ ] Is check_mapper_capacity()/validate_segment_sizes() actually reached before ld65 runs on both the prepare and full-pipeline paths? Does it run at all when NESProjectBuilder is used directly, bypassing main.py?
• [ ] Is auto_select() reached via --mapper auto (through resolve_mapper), and do the forced/rejected --mapper guards (bytecode, direct-export bank-pack, direct-export DPCM) raise cleanly? (see Dimension 6)
• [ ] On a capacity overflow, does the pre-flight message name the right region, and does ld65 still error if the heuristic under-counts?
• [ ] Do MMC1's 5-write loads and MMC3's R6/R7 selects match docs/MAPPER_*.md?
• [ ] Do assemble/link raise on nonzero return code with stderr attached? Does compile_rom()'s broad except Exception print a traceback under --verbose (#32)?
• [ ] Does every segment used in main.asm/music.asm exist in the active mapper's nes.cfg?
• [ ] Does ROMCompiler.compile() invoke generate_post_process_commands() when passed a mapper (#214), matching build.sh? (MMC1 no longer needs a fixup — #213.)
• [ ] Did I try to disprove the finding by re-reading the code path?
