ReaperOfVeriod 18af702420 Read a moby handler: the chain works, with two caveats and a 110 discrepancy
Followed the chain through -- dispatch table to handler address to disassembly --
and read level 0's class 2 handler at 0x00380a88:

    0x00380a84: jal   0x2ee0d0
    0x00380a88: .word 0x0240202d          <- VU1 microcode, not a failure
    0x00380a8c: lwc1  $f12, 0x40($s1)
    0x00380a98: addiu $a0, $s0, 0x20
    0x00380aa0: swc1  $f0, 0x18($s4)
    0x00380ab0: swc1  $f0, 0x14($s4)

Floats out of one structure, written back into another, with VU1 work alongside --
what a transform update should look like. The chain from an asset observation to the
game's own code is now complete and usable.

TWO CAVEATS, both learned by hitting them:

VU1 microcode interleaves with CPU code. 0x0240202d is a COP2 opcode, not an
undecodable word. A tool that counts .word lines as failures is counting the wrong
thing -- a trap I walked into earlier today with the region walkers, now recorded
so it is not repeated.

Handlers are not all independent functions. Level 0's class 2 is at 0x380a88 and
class 0x0E at 0x380a90 -- EIGHT BYTES apart -- and 72 of the 5,788 records sit
within 16 bytes of the one before them. Consecutive classes share one routine with
per-class entry points inside it, so reading "a handler" gives a fragment. That
matters downstream: a class's behaviour is not one function, and assuming
otherwise would misattribute shared code.

A DISCREPANCY WITH THE REFERENCE

The decomp reports 5,598 of 5,788 moby handlers (96.7%) preceded by a jr ra within
three words. Measured here, the same way, over the same 5,788 records: 5,488
(94.8%). Same population, same test, 110 handlers different.

Both figures support the premise, so nothing turns on it, and I am recording it
rather than picking the number that suits. The reference measured on 2026-10-02
against its own pinned overlay set, so a method or version difference is as
plausible as a data difference and there is no basis here for saying which. The
test asserts the premise (>90%) and deliberately NOT either exact figure.

Asserted in moby_handlers_are_overwhelmingly_function_entries.

264 tests.

/// Same population, same test, 110 handlers different. Both confirm the premise
/// that these addresses are function entries rather than arbitrary words, and the
/// residual is recorded as a discrepancy rather than explained away -- the
/// reference measured on 2026-10-02 against its own pinned overlay set, so a
/// difference in method or version is as likely as a difference in the data.
///
/// Two things worth knowing before reading a handler. First, the code interleaves
/// VU1 microcode with CPU instructions, so a disassembly window runs `.word
/// 0x0240202d` lines that are COP2 opcodes rather than failures. Second, the
/// handlers are **not all independent functions**: level 0's class 2 and class
/// `0x0E` are 8 bytes apart (0x380a88 and 0x380a90), so consecutive classes share
/// one routine with per-class entry points inside it. Reading a handler gives you
/// a fragment, not a whole function.
