@@ -372,7 +372,7 @@ Throughout the project, every function at every stage either **does exactly what
 - [scePlayerReviewDialogOpen, scePlayerReviewDialogGetResult](../../core/libs/prx/libSceCdlgPlayerReview/Export.cpp) (libSceCdlgPlayerReview) - the PS5-only dialog has no public reference: the parameter is not read and the result is assumed to start with the 32-bit common dialog result, as `sceWebBrowserDialogGetResult` assumes
 - [sceHttpWaitRequest](../../core/libs/prx/libSceHttp/Export.cpp) (libSceHttp) - the timeout is assumed to be in microseconds and a negative timeout to wait without limit; the invalid-value error for a null handle or event array or a non-positive event count is assumed, not measured. No request is ever pending, so a wait returns 0 events when its timeout passes
 - [sceVideoOutAddPreVblankStartEvent](../../core/libs/prx/libSceVideoOut/src/Event.cpp) (libSceVideoOut) - how long before the vblank the console signals pre-vblank start is unknown. The event is triggered on each emulated vblank tick immediately before the vblank event, with its own count as the event data
-- [sched_get_priority_max, sched_get_priority_min](../../core/libs/prx/libkernel/System/src/Process.cpp) (libkernel) - `SCHED_OTHER` (2) reports the same 256 to 767 range as `SCHED_FIFO` and `SCHED_RR`; the console's answer is unverified. FreeBSD accepts `SCHED_OTHER` with its own range, and shadPS4 rejects it with `EINVAL`. `pthread_setschedparam` ignores the policy, so a priority taken from this range applies
+- [sched_get_priority_max, sched_get_priority_min](../../core/libs/prx/libkernel/System/src/Process.cpp) (libkernel) - measured on a PS5 (firmware 13.60): `SCHED_FIFO` (1) and `SCHED_RR` (3) report a maximum of 767 and a minimum of 256, and every other policy, `SCHED_OTHER` (2) included, returns -1 with `EINVAL`. `pthread_setschedparam` ignores the policy and does not check the priority, where the console rejects `SCHED_OTHER` and priorities below 256 with `EINVAL`
 
 - [inet_pton, inet_ntop](../../core/libs/prx/libkernel/Socket/src/AddressConversion.cpp) (libkernel) - the text forms are assumed to be those of FreeBSD 11.4 and are unverified on a console: `inet_pton` accepts only four decimal parts without leading zeros for `AF_INET` and the RFC 4291 forms for `AF_INET6` (one `::` standing for at least one group, a dotted-quad tail only as the last 32 bits, no zone id), and `inet_ntop` prints lowercase hex with the first longest run of two or more zero groups compressed, and a dotted tail only for `::a.b.c.d` and `::ffff:a.b.c.d`. They no longer depend on the host resolver library
 - [gethostbyname](../../core/libs/prx/libScePosixForWebKit/Resolver.cpp) (libScePosixForWebKit) - numeric IPv4 forms, trailing whitespace and 64-bit accumulation follow FreeBSD 11.4 [inet_aton](https://github.com/freebsd/freebsd-src/blob/releng/11.4/lib/libc/inet/inet_addr.c); clearing the resolver error on numeric success follows [fakeaddr](https://github.com/freebsd/freebsd-src/blob/releng/11.4/lib/libc/net/gethostnamadr.c). Exact PS5 behavior is unverified; hostname lookup still uses the host resolver
