# PFES-008 — Current Platform State

The detailed human-readable state is Appendix D. The canonical machine-readable
state is `PFES_CURRENT_STATE.json`.

| Platform area | State | Confidence |
|---|---|---|
| HLDS analyzer chain | Advanced and operational | Validated implementation; active refinement |
| MN103S emulator | Clean maintained boundary; v259 ready | Partially hardware-validated |
| Firmware compatibility engineering | Proven on selected hardware | Family coverage incomplete |
| XGD1 acquisition | Structurally validated | Not Redump-identical |
| FriiDump acquisition | Hardware-validated on multiple revisions | Validated |
| Repository authorities | Four canonical repositories active | Validated authority surfaces |
| Project incubation | Admission and repository-readiness method active | First project admitted |
| MN103S recovery programmer | Rev B0 schematic; PCB-layout handoff | Incubating; no first article |
| Artifact storage | Firmware phase-one intake complete | Same physical HDD, not backup |

## Parallel acceptance targets

- improve indirect/table-driven analyzer command resolution without unnecessary
  Stage5B reruns;
- prove emulator media-window selection from executed firmware;
- advance the recovery programmer through ERC, mechanical verification,
  layout/DRC, and read-only first-article planning.

## Open questions

- formal dependency closure and minimum transplant boundary;
- recipient-family abstraction;
- firmware-derived media-window mapping;
- patched `0xE7` security-sector acquisition;
- validated CCI framing and scrub semantics;
- recovery-programmer first-article behavior and future repository boundary;
- HP DH40N controller architecture.
