# Stack-Up (JU)
## Status
**Pass 3.** All address-derived `Label_XXXX` definitions replaced;
every `jsr`/`jmp` operand symbolic; hardware-register operands resolved
via `apply_symbols.py` (0 residue); audit comments aligned; `make`
stays byte-identical.
`make` assembles `header.s`, `prg.s`, `chr.s`, links them with `ld65` and compares the
result against `rom.nes`:
```
Byte-identical ROM verified.
```
## ROM
| Property | Value |
|----------|-------|
| Format | iNES |
| Mapper | 0 |
| Board | NROM-256 |
| Mirroring | Horizontal |
| Four-screen VRAM | no |
| Battery | no |
| PRG | 32 KB (2 x 16 KB), mapped at CPU $8000-$FFFF |
| CHR | 8 KB (1 x 8 KB) |
| Trainer | none |
| Footer | none |
| NMI vector | $81AD |
| RESET vector | $8100 |
| IRQ vector | $81E6 |
| ROM file | `Stack-Up (JU).nes` |
| SHA-256 | `3ab6bc99246783a6bf7083481027fe358ccdb147dcf1165eaf08aaf4e1b06548` |
### Header notes
- none
## Open work
- **Pass 1** - run `nesdis.py` over `prg.bin` to produce the code/data
split. The tracer reads the vectors from the last six bytes of the PRG
image, so the split seeds correctly.
- **Pass 1** must emit the canonical audit comment
`; CPU:$C123 PRG:0123 AD 21 03` at column 35 for every instruction.
- **Pass 2** - replace the address-derived `Label_XXXX` names and the raw
`$XXXX` call operands.
- **Pass 3** - semantic zero-page aliases (applied only at the sites where
their role is proven) and named data tables.
- **Promotion** to `NROM/<name>/` once Pass 3 is done, as `git mv`.
