When the game builds its high-score table report for Stern's agent
(/api/v1/game/high_score_events - the endpoint the Insider gate already sits
on), the logger writes an HSTD line with all four players' scores. This is
the report the game sends when a game has changed the table, so the line
marks a high-score event with no new per-game RE. The entries themselves
(initials, position) live deeper in the report body and stay uncaptured for
now - that needs locating the report builder or the in-memory table.
Tests: the endpoint trigger and the HSTD line lift into the host harness
(the endpoint pointer is a 32-bit register, so the harness maps its string
below 4 GiB and the tests run on the Linux leg like the port-gate ones).

The runtime tried one port file (game.port) and refused it if the game's
words did not match. Now it tries every *.port in /usr/local/padmode/ports
and /dump/ports (then the single files, the old layout), resetting the port
tables between candidates, and keeps the first whose core sites verify: a
wrong candidate hooks nothing, so trying it is safe, and the port that
verifies names the game (pm_game/pm_version).
The switch log's buttons and names come from the port's switch lines now —
the baked-in King Kong button list and switch_names.inc are gone (the port
lines carry the same ids and names, so King Kong's switch.log is unchanged).
Boot log: each refused candidate says its path and the game/version it
declares; no candidates at all says so; a game update whose port is not
deployed logs the refusal and runs stock.
tests/test_multi_game.py lifts the new code verbatim and compiles it for the
host: selection among candidates, table reset between them, the getdents64
*.port scan (it caught an inverted suffix test and an off-by-one), and the
port-driven switch log. The address-dependent tests need a Linux host (the
port's site addresses are 32 bits; darwin arm64 maps nothing below 4 GiB).

All GAMELOG lines (EV/SHOT/SCORES/AWARD in mode.log, the runtime's MODE
START/END and AWARD lines) and every switch.log line now carry the wall
clock as RFC 3339 UTC with millisecond precision; the +Nms stamps relative
to runtime load are gone (dur= on MODE END stays: it is a duration). The
timestamp comes from a new gl_rfc3339() in the runtime: clock_gettime
(CLOCK_REALTIME) plus the civil-from-days algorithm, no libc time calls.
switch.log now logs only the human-activated buttons (34 lockdown, 36
start, 62/63 flippers) with quoted names. The upper-flipper button
switches (64/65) fire in parallel with the main flipper buttons on this
cabinet and are left out with every non-button switch.
Deployed and verified on the machine: the boot banner reads
2026-10-13T01:39:39.640Z against the machine's own UTC clock.

The v3 runtime's edge logger could never arm: the port had no switch_edge /
switch_drain sites, no switch_records/switch_count data and no switch_*
record-layout values, and switches_arm() skips a port without switch lines.
Located in the King Kong LE 0.97 ELF with the decryptor's
portswitch.switch_source() (generation-B framework): switch_edge 0x0055fa04,
switch_drain 0x005606e4, switch_records 0x008ecc78, switch_count 0x0093437c;
record layout 384/32/24/8/26/28 as on the other generation-B builds. Added
LOCKDOWN/START/flipper button switch lines on bits the game's shot dispatch
never sends, so the logger arms and the buttons become named shots.
Deployed to the machine and verified in play: the boot log arms the drain
(switch_edge 0x0055fa04, drain 0x005606e4..0x00560864) and /dump/switch.log
logged ~6000 in-game edges, both edges of all four flipper buttons, named.
Also fixes the runtime's mangled GAMELOG comment (broke the build) and the
switch_names.inc entry count in the README.

Snapshot of the stern-event-agent work (as of 2026-10-12):
- gamelog.c: passive PAD mode logging bus events (game/ball/bonus/tilt),
all named shots and all-players' scores to /dump/mode.log
- pad_mode_runtime.c: the SDK runtime + a GAMELOG section (passive
stock-mode and award watching, gl_award_seq()/gl_last_award_id()),
a per-edge switch logger to /dump/switch.log (switch_names.inc), and
a passive Insider Connected gate; docs/runtime-patch.diff shows the
exact changes vs the upstream runtime
- event_probe.c / event_read.py: event-bus measurement tooling for
identifying bus event ids on another game
- ports/king_kong_le-0.97.port: 121 verified sites, 55 named shots, 6
bus events (emulator-proven by the SDK repo authors)
Deployed and verified on the machine: events, shots, stock modes and
awards. The /dump/switch.log feature is implemented but NOT yet
deployed or verified, and the extra-ball award id (default 13) is
unconfirmed. See README.md for build/install/log usage and unfinished
work.
