The title id now comes from GetAppTitleId, so param.json has one parser and
its validation (a missing file or titleId throws). Another pid returns EPERM
and a null info returns 0 without writing, as shadPS4 does. app_id stays 1,
the running title's id in libSceSystemService, which is inferred, not
measured.
guest_app_info runs the call without param.json in a child process and
checks that the field between app_id and the title id is left alone.

sceKernelGetAppInfo fills the app id and the title id of the calling
process: app id 1, the running title's id in libSceSystemService, and the
titleId of /app0/sce_sys/param.json at offset 0x10, up to 9 characters and a
terminator. Only those fields are written, since callers declare the
structure with different sizes. Another pid returns ESRCH and a null info
EFAULT.

The detached alarm thread waits on a condition variable that was a
namespace-scope static. At exit its destructor ran with the thread still
waiting, and glibc's pthread_cond_destroy blocks then, so a process that
called alarm never exited on Linux. The mutex, condition variable, deadline
and started flag now live in one structure allocated once and never
destroyed.

RetroArch (PPSA99169) stops at alarm on main: `FAIL: unresolved ELF import DQXJraCc1rA from libSceLibcInternal.prx`.
alarm(seconds) arms one process-wide real-time alarm and returns the seconds left on the previous one, rounded up like FreeBSD's alarm.c (any partial second counts); alarm(0) cancels it. When it expires, SIGALRM's disposition as recorded by sigaction or signal applies: ignored, nothing happens; default, the process terminates as on FreeBSD (exit status 128 + 14); a guest handler throws, because asynchronous delivery to a guest handler is not implemented.
The timer lives in libkernel next to the signal dispositions (GuestAlarm_nid_no_patch); libSceLibcInternal, which the titles import alarm from, forwards to it.

PokeMMO Prospero (PPSA98001) stops at siglongjmp (pebqbE5ws8s) from
libkernel. The title links its own FreeBSD sigsetjmp, so siglongjmp
follows FreeBSD's amd64 __siglongjmp and its sigjmp_buf layout: when the
save-mask flag at offset 88 is set it restores the mask saved at 72
through _sigprocmask, then reloads rbx, rsp, rbp, r12-r15 and the x87
control word and returns to the saved address with val, or 1 for 0.

VLC (PPSA85300) imports execvp (0NJDcQ2B8vE) from libkernel and fails
to load because no library exports it. Replacing the process image is
not supported, so it throws if called, like sceSystemServiceLoadExec
does for executable replacement. VLC itself cannot reach the call: its
fork and vfork fail with ENOSYS, so the child that would call execvp is
never created.
ProsperoStore (PPSA99000) imports kill from libkernel and stops at it on
current main. Its crash reporter resets a crash signal to SIG_DFL and
sends it again with kill(getpid(), signal).
kill follows FreeBSD's kern_kill and killpg1 for the only guest process:
EINVAL for signals outside 0 to 128, signal 0 only checks the target,
and the caller's own pid, 0 and minus its pid deliver through raise.
Any other pid, and -1, which skips the caller, report ESRCH.
On Windows, getargc and getargv reported only the executable path, read
with GetModuleFileNameA in the ANSI code page, and dropped every other
argument. Linux returns the whole command line from /proc/self/cmdline,
and the relinker's Windows entry stub already passes the guest entry all
arguments converted to UTF-8.
Parse GetCommandLineW with CommandLineToArgvW and convert each argument
to UTF-8 with WC_ERR_INVALID_CHARS, as the entry stub does, so getargv
matches the entry's argv and the Linux behaviour. The Linux path is
unchanged.
On Windows std::_Exit ends in ExitProcess, which still runs every module's
DLL_PROCESS_DETACH and TLS callbacks after the other threads are gone. A
static destructor that joins a worker then waits forever: a title that calls
_Exit while libSceVideoOut's flip queue runs (ps5-opengl's retirement
fail-stop) stays alive in FlipQueue's destructor. _Exit and libkernel's _exit
now terminate the process with TerminateProcess, as _exit ends a POSIX
process: no atexit handlers, stream flushes or module destructors.
waitpid returns -1 with ECHILD, or EINVAL for an option FreeBSD does not know, and leaves the status unwritten: AnyPS5 runs the title as one process and exports nothing that creates a child. VLC PPSA85300 stops on main at this import.
SDL queries the SCHED_OTHER range before it sets a thread priority. It gets
the same 256 to 767 range as SCHED_FIFO and SCHED_RR, which
pthread_setschedparam applies regardless of policy. The console's answer is
unverified and recorded in TechnicalDebt.

sigprocmask keeps the first word of the title's set as it is, where
FreeBSD keeps signal n at bit n - 1 (_SIG_BIT), but Dispatch tested bit
n. A title that blocked SIGTERM with a FreeBSD-built set (bit 14) was
not protected, and a set with bit 15 blocked SIGTERM instead of SIGURG.
Dispatch now tests bit n - 1; the stored mask and the set returned by
sigprocmask are unchanged.

EVO-PLAYER (PPSA99039) v0.11.0 stops at sigaction once its earlier
imports resolve: it installs a crash handler for SIGSEGV, SIGBUS and
SIGABRT and a quit handler for SIGTERM, SIGINT and SIGHUP at start-up.
sigaction records the handler, flags and mask of signals 1 to 128 and
reports them back, with FreeBSD's EINVAL cases. signal shares the table
and records SA_RESTART, as FreeBSD's libc does. Plain handlers on the
signals signal already delivers run as signal handlers do; SA_SIGINFO
handlers and other signals are recorded only, and raise of such a
signal throws.

Keeps both new TechnicalDebt entries: this branch's note that a raise
can still reenter host code it interrupted, and #2107's sigaltstack note.

Keeps this branch's CONTEXT_FULL | CONTEXT_SEGMENTS read, context-first
order and bounded retry in RaiseOn, and adds #1478's ymm save fields to
both deliveries. The test keeps both phase sets; the vectors phase runs
after the continuing, selfing and looping phases and counts their
deliveries. The TechnicalDebt entry about ymm upper halves is dropped,
since #1478 preserves them.

The guest process is assumed to run as root. Under FreeBSD's
sys_seteuid and sys_setegid, id 0 is then accepted without a privilege
check and changes no credential, so both return 0. Any other id would
change the effective credential, which is not modelled, and throws.
Part of #1578.
Returns the name of the directory under which a title's sandbox exposes
system files, which homebrew SDKs splice into paths such as
/<name>/common/cert/CA_LIST.cer and /<name>/common/lib/libc.sprx. The
name is fixed here; recorded in TechnicalDebt together with the fact
that nothing is mounted under it.
Registers guest_sandbox_random_word.

ScreenTester5 (PPSA69420) stops at start-up on the unresolved sysctlbyname
import and also imports sysctl. hw.ncpu (CTL_HW.HW_NCPU) reports the same
processor count as sysconf(_SC_NPROCESSORS_ONLN). Other names and MIBs throw.
Add sigemptyset, sigfillset, sigaddset, sigdelset and sigismember with
FreeBSD 11 semantics (lib/libc/gen/sigsetops.c): a 128-bit set of four
32-bit words, signal n at bit n - 1, signals 1 to 128 valid. sigfillset
sets every bit. An invalid signal returns -1 with errno EINVAL and leaves
the set untouched; sigismember returns 1 or 0. A null set throws.
