- _wip/ section: count 17 -> 15
- verify_pass1.py scope: 19 -> 22 top-level projects

- Added HEADER/PRG/CHR linker.cfg with proper memory layout
- Added copilot/rom.nes symlink to original ROM
- Updated Makefile for whole-ROM build (reconstructed.nes vs rom.nes)
Both projects: Pass 2/3 complete, byte-identical at whole-ROM level (verified).
Root OVERVIEW.md updated:
- Inventory: Pinball moved from _wip/ row 30 to top-level row 24
- Tier split: BYTE-IDENTICAL now rows 1-24 (+36), PRG-IDENTICAL rows 25-35

TODO.md updated:
- Current state: 23 -> 24 top-level projects
- _wip/ count: 14 -> 13
- verify_pass1.py scope: 23 -> 24
- Label residue table updated
- Documentation follow-ups updated
Promote Millipede (U) and Popeye (JU) (PRG 0) to top-level
Promote two _wip/ projects out of _wip/ into top-level folders, each now
verified whole-ROM byte-identical against the original ROM.
- Millipede (U): moves all copilot files up, adds header.s, chr.s,
linker.cfg with PRG+HEADER+CHR areas, rom.nes copy, and switches the
Makefile from PRG-only cmp to whole-ROM cmp. Makefile _tools depth
adjusted (../../../../_tools/ -> ../../_tools/).
- Popeye (JU) (PRG 0): same promotion treatment.
- AGENTS.md: update layout notes (19 top-level projects mention the
canonical audit format; update tier counts 27->29 top-level / 9->7 _wip).
- OVERVIEW.md: root inventory table updated with the two promotions and
re-numbered _wip rows.
- TODO.md: handoff updates.
- Remaining _wip projects: assorted pass 2/3 edits (prg.s, locals.inc,
reconstructed.lbl, reconstructed_prg.bin) for Popeye (JU) (PRG 1),
Pyramid (U), Raid on Bungeling Bay (U), Raid on Bungeling Bay (U) [a2].

Audit comment standardization + new tool (2026-10-19)
...
Standardized all 18 top-level projects to canonical audit comment format:
; CPU:$XXXX PRG:XXXX AA BB
Changes per project:
- CIRCUS: fixed 4,427 comments (CPU:XXXX -> CPU:$XXXX)
- Excitebike (JU): fixed 48 double-semicolon comments (; state $XX ; CPU:...)
- 9 projects received canonical comments via new audit_comment_tool.py:
Balloon Fight, Baseball, Bomberman, Burger Time, Clu Clu Land,
Defender 2, Donkey Kong 3, Donkey Kong Jr., Tennis
New tool: _tools/audit_comment_tool.py
- Uses nesdis.py tracer as ground truth for instruction bytes/addresses
- Parses source while tracking PRG offset, emits canonical comments
- Handles .byte/.word/.dword directives, instruction comments (short format)
- Carves PRG from rom.nes when prg.bin missing
Documentation updates:
- TODO.md: Updated current state, item 3 (tool built), repo conventions, tool list
- AGENTS.md: Added audit_comment_tool.py to _tools/, updated audit convention
Verification: verify_pass1.py reports all 18 projects byte-identical with 'canoni' format.
