Phase 1.0DB: post-CZ differential analysis
Status: RAW_CONTEXT_FAILURE_CONFIRMED_CAUSAL_BIGAPP_COMPARISON_NOT_READY
The consumed CZ run is a valid raw-elfldr baseline, but not a successful AV
run. It reached RetroArch and SDL video initialization, then
sceVideoOutOpen(0xff, 0, 0, NULL) returned signed -2144796663
(0x80290009). D06 and D07 were not reached. D04 returned -1, remote EOF
followed, and the distinct cleanup terminal D14 was absent.
Comparison with Phase 1.0O
O and CZ both used the raw SceSpZeroConf-based elfldr constructor, but they did
not use identical artifact bytes and their runtime state was not captured as
identical. O obtained positive handle 1309671680, registered buffers with
result 0, then failed the first flip with -1. CZ failed earlier at open.
The difference therefore cannot identify a root cause or be attributed to the
new D14 path. Public evidence does not bind 0x80290009 to a stable semantic
name, so this repository records the raw value only.
What the pair does prove is narrower: raw elfldr can reach the video path, but it has not produced a usable, repeatable VideoOut/presentation lifecycle. A third raw attempt would neither isolate the launch-context variable nor be authorized.
BigApp decision
Official shsrv v0.7 remains the source-proven comparison arm because it replaces a SystemService-launched BigApp rather than SceSpZeroConf. It has not been tested by Chimera and is not safe to invoke directly: it requires a device-resident ELF, can terminate the active BigApp, has unbounded waits and uses kernel/ptrace and root/jail mutations. Its deployed identity and live result channel remain unproven.
A causal comparison requires the exact unchanged CZ artifact, a bounded BigApp launcher with no persistent writes or remounts, explicit app-termination scope, bounded cleanup and a separately approved one-shot result channel. Those prerequisites do not currently coexist in an artifact. No shsrv connection, hbldr command, staging, execution, retry or other device action is authorized by this analysis.
