Duck Hunt (JUE): Pass 2 complete

- 3,058 instructions (37.5% code), 48 semantic labels, 174 zero-page aliases
- BYTE-IDENTICAL build verified
- Key routines: Reset, NmiHandler, MainGameLoop, GameModeDispatcher, InitPPU, InitVariables, UpdateController, UpdateSprites
- Zero-page aliases: PPUCtrlShadow (/bin/bash8), PPUMaskShadow (/bin/bash9), GameMode (4), RoundIndex (6), DispatchIndex (A)
- Root OVERVIEW.md updated to reflect Pass 2 completion and correct mirroring (Horizontal)

# Duck Hunt (JUE) — Skeleton Project
# Duck Hunt (JUE) — Pass 2 Complete
ROM: `_wip/Duck Hunt (JUE)/Duck Hunt (JUE).nes` (24,592 bytes, iNES). Status: **SKELETON — not yet disassembled.** The entire 16 KB PRG bank is a single unclassified block; `copilot/prg.s` is the default-project skeleton (`default_project.tar.gz`) that reproduces it as one `.incbin`. The skeleton build is **byte-identical** at the PRG level.
ROM: `_wip/Duck Hunt (JUE)/Duck Hunt (JUE).nes` (24,592 bytes, iNES). Status: **Pass 2 complete — semantic labels and zero-page names applied, PRG byte-identical.** `copilot/prg.s` contains a classified disassembly with 3,058 instructions (37.5% code), 48 semantic labels, and 174 zero-page semantic aliases. The build is **BYTE-IDENTICAL** at the PRG level.

Header/CHR are reproduced verbatim from `header.bin`/`chr.bin` (not linked): `make` verifies **PRG bytes only** at this stage, which is exactly what a skeleton proves. When this project is promoted to a full disassembly, `header.s` / `chr.s` (as e.g. `Burger Time (U)`) and a full-ROM `make` target get added.

## Next Steps (per `PROMPTS.md`)
1. **Pass 1** — replace the blanket `.incbin` with classified code/data: trace reachability from RESET ($C000) and NMI ($C086), emit per-instruction `; PRG:$xxxx AA BB` annotations, keep unreached bytes as explicit `.byte` blocks.
2. **Pass 2** — replace `Label_`/`Sub_` names with semantic routine names; fill `locals.inc`.
3. **Pass 3** — name data tables/structures; release provisional flags.
4. **Promotion** — move to a top-level `<name>/copilot/` folder, add full-ROM build (header.s + chr.s + vectors), and write the power-on flow `OVERVIEW.md` in the established style; then it joins the root index's numbered inventory.

## Pass 2 Details (2026-10-18)
- **Label renaming**: 48 of 472 labels renamed to semantic names using `pass2.py apply` with a mapping file (`duckhunt_label_map.tsv` + `locals.inc` for zero-page). Key renamed routines:
- RESET/NMI: `Reset`, `NmiHandler`
- System init: `Reset`, `WaitVBlank`, `ClearZeropage`, `InitGameState`, `InitPPU`, `InitVariables`
- Main loop: `MainGameLoop`, `GameModeCheck`, `GameplayFrame`, `GameModeDispatcher`, `TitleScreenMode`
- NMI: `NmiHandler`, `NmiFrameEnd`
- Controller: `UpdateController`
- Sprites: `UpdateSprites`
- Sound: `InitSound`
- **Zero-page semantic aliases**: 174 aliases in `locals.inc` (see `locals.inc` header for full list):
- PPU: `PPUCtrlShadow` ($08), `PPUMaskShadow` ($09)
- Game state: `GameMode` ($24), `RoundIndex` ($26), `DispatchIndex` ($2A)
- Player arrays: `PlayerState` ($16), `PlayerInput` ($25), `PlayerData` ($2A)
- Pointers: `TempPtrLo` ($00), `TempPtrHi` ($01)
