In #3338, Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart (PPSA01474) hits a 36 GB / 5 s
memcpy stall at frame ~380 right after intro logos because the GPU
worker thread is blocked copying multi-gigabyte storage buffers on every
draw snapshot miss (specifically a 3.01 GiB streaming range
0x118f800000+0xbc200000 and a 232 MiB range 0x1171258040+0xe7fffc0
across 130,000 draws).
ShaderResources::PrepareDrawBindings now caps both per-allocation and
cumulative draw input buffer snapshot copies at 64 MiB by default,
overridable via APS5_DRAW_SNAPSHOT_MAX_MIB. Inputs exceeding the threshold
skip snapshotting and bind directly in place, preventing multi-gigabyte
memory copies while preserving standard small uniforms and draw arguments.
Budget allocation prioritises earlier descriptor bindings in deterministic
pipeline layout order.
Adds drawSnapshotCapTests in core/libs/prx/libSceAgcDriver/tests/Recorder.cpp
verifying individual and cumulative capping, cross-platform cache behavior on
watched and compared hosts, and direct observation of subsequent CPU writes
on in-place bound ranges exceeding the cap. Exercised via --draw-snapshot-cap-only
registered as agc_draw_snapshot_cap in libSceAgcDriver/CMakeLists.txt.
Defer registered NGG workgroup preparation until routing is known. Share the routing decision with static ABI resolution and draws. Gate the wave64 fixture on supported mesh subgroups; retain device-independent routing coverage.
lseek on a non-directory descriptor no longer takes the directory table lock when no directory is open, and a listing is read under the descriptor's own lock. SEEK_CUR with offset 0 only reports the position, and an overflowing SEEK_CUR offset reports EOVERFLOW.
Titles that call Open/Speak after a failed initialize should get the same unavailable-engine error instead of a throw.

Document the level-triggered user event semantics of sceKernelWaitEqueue in TechnicalDebt.
(cherry picked from commit db79bee1e597effff34c72493ed893d4e750b95d)
The macOS image initializer called a guest module's DT_INIT with no
arguments, so a module started with sceKernelLoadStartModule never saw
its args and argp, and its result was dropped. The Linux writer already
calls DT_INIT through libkernel's pending argument handoff. On the
macOS port, the PSN plugin of PPSA12544 refuses to start without its
argument block ("PSN is an old version that cannot be used by the
current player runtime") and the title then crashes.
A guest module with DT_INIT now gets two slots bound to
__aps5_get_pending_module_args_nid_no_patch and
__aps5_set_module_init_result_nid_no_patch, and its initializer calls
DT_INIT with the args and argp that sceKernelLoadStartModule records,
as on Linux, then hands the result back. The TechnicalDebt sentence
about the missing arguments on macOS is removed.
guest_module_args also relinks its fixture with --macos and checks the
two binds; on x86-64 macOS it loads the module and checks that DT_INIT
receives the arguments and that its result is returned.

Stremio Plus (PPSA74126) stops at start-up on _ioctl, which its statically
linked tc* functions call. FreeBSD's _ioctl is the same system call as
ioctl, so it forwards to ioctl.
Implement arc4random (UISQ-dQzw28) in libScePosixForWebKit on top of the
existing arc4random_buf, so both draw from the same thread-local host
std::random_device. Like FreeBSD 11.4 lib/libc/gen/arc4random.c
(8c639945) it returns a uniformly distributed 32-bit value and has no
failure result.
Cloud Play (PPSA99600) imports it: the import audit in #3249 on main
ccf9ff90 lists `UISQ-dQzw28` `arc4random` among nine absent imports
("no PR or issue found"). The ps5-payload-dev SDK stubs (f5d40f02,
sce_stubs/libScePosixForWebKit.c) place arc4random, arc4random_buf and
fnmatch in libScePosixForWebKit; arc4random_uniform is in neither that
set nor libSceLibcInternal, so it is not added.

There is no system trophy UI, so the call returns success without showing a
list, like the other silent NpTrophy2 entry points; recorded in
docs/dev/TechnicalDebt.md. PPSA15552 (Dead Cells) calls it and
aborted on the NotImplemented exception.

PPSA08427 (Killing Floor 3) stops on main at start-up because its bundled
pros.sdk.Prospero.prx imports it:
pros.sdk.Prospero.prx.guest.prx: undefined symbol: y7JD1gfwyfA
The signature is unknown, so it is declared without parameters and
throws, like the other entitlement flag queries the title does not reach.

Dungeons (PPSA16064) calls select on descriptor 0 and stopped with
"select on descriptor 0 (not a libSceNet socket) not implemented".
Descriptor 0 is now never readable and descriptors 1 and 2 are always
writable, as for a console title with no input. The assumption is in
TechnicalDebt next to the termios entry for the same descriptors.

sceAgcDebugRaiseException (NID T6xuVw0KUJo) now logs the exception id
with APS5_LOG_OUT and returns 0, as libkernel's
sceKernelDebugRaiseException does.
Palworld PPSA23126 (#2598) and 007 First Light PPSA11386 (#2523) import
it; neither is shown calling it.
OpenAGC 3c7e8072 (src/game_compat.c) returns 0 and says the function is
a no-op on retail hardware; the ud2 trap it describes for development
hardware is not reproduced. KytyPS5 6f0cddd4 (src/libs/agc.cpp) takes a
uint32 exception_id, logs it and returns 0. OpenAGC declares no
arguments, but a body that only traps reads none, so the uint32 is kept
and the conflict is recorded in TechnicalDebt. The aerolib name is from
zecoxao/sce_symbols 2883963a; ps5-payload-dev/sdk f5d40f02 has only an
untyped stub.

image_sample_c_lz on gfx1035 returns 0 for 8-bit sRGB, so the unorm clamp was the wrong result. Bilinear cube comparison without DISABLE_CUBE_WRAP keeps throwing because that filter blends across faces.
