Reference workflow for Amiberry packaging, install-layout, and runtime-path fixes. Use for distro packaging changes, `BUNDLE_SDL`, RPATH and shared-library bundling work, DEB or RPM dependency adjustments, CI matrix packaging toggles, derivative distro repository setup via `packaging/repo/install.sh`, QEMU-UAE PPC plugin bundle/dependency changes, Windows portable install detection, and executable-directory vs current-working-directory path bugs in files such as `cmake/linux/install.cmake`, `cmake/windows/install.cmake`, `packaging/CMakeLists.txt`, `packaging/repo/install.sh`, `.github/workflows/c-cpp.yml`, `docs/ppc-qemu-plugin.md`, and `src/osdep/amiberry.cpp`.
Use when investigating, reproducing, or fixing Amiberry bugs, especially renderer or input regressions, RTG/Picasso96 pixel-format or presentation bugs, HiDPI or SDL3 logical-presentation bugs, Vulkan capability or swapchain failures, MHI/audio playback regressions, threaded device shutdown hangs, OS4 filesystem packet fallback issues, PPC/QEMU runtime performance regressions, crash regressions, or behavior regressions. Follow an edit-build-run-test-fix cycle, using Amiberry MCP runtime-control tools when they are configured and falling back to normal process, log, screenshot, and debugger tools otherwise.
Reference workflow for Amiberry ARM64 JIT debugging and fixes. Use for ARM64 JIT crashes, stalls, wrong behavior, performance work, codegen issues, inter-block flag handling, natmem or page-0 guard bugs, FPU JIT problems, and regressions in files such as compemu_support_arm.cpp, compemu_fpp_arm.cpp, compemu_midfunc_arm64.cpp, or gencomp_arm. Covers the known root-cause fixes around liveflags, flush_flags, FBcc and Bcc and BSR sign extension, PC_P 64-bit pointer handling, ADDX and SUBX Z-flag semantics, bus error recovery, R_REGSTRUCT offsets, SysInfo MIPS, Lightwave, and Workbench boot issues. This skill is ARM64-specific; for x86-64 JIT allocator or RIP-relative distance issues use `amiberry-x86-jit`.
Workflow for preparing and publishing a new Amiberry release. Covers version bumps across CMakeLists.txt, vcpkg.json, metainfo.xml, flatpak manifest, RPM spec; commit/push/tag flow to trigger CI; generating release notes from git log; creating GitHub releases; and drafting social media announcements for Facebook, Mastodon, Bluesky, and Ko-Fi.
Use when merging or analyzing upstream WinUAE changes for Amiberry's SDL3/CMake codebase across Linux, macOS, Android, Windows, FreeBSD, Haiku, and iOS work-in-progress targets. Covers porting Win32 GUI dialogs to Dear ImGui, mapping Windows controls to ImGui equivalents, adapting platform-specific code, preserving upstream-sync safety for local Amiberry divergences, handling `#ifdef AMIBERRY` splits, and verifying feature parity.
Reference workflow for Amiberry x86-64 JIT debugging and fixes. Use for x86 or x86-64 JIT allocator failures, RIP-relative `±2GB` distance bugs, PIE or ASLR allocation issues, high-natmem/direct-mode bugs, `PC_P` pointer-width regressions, `MAP_32BIT` or `VirtualAlloc` fallback bugs, runtime JIT disable or interpreter fallback bugs, and regressions in files such as `src/jit/x86/compemu_support_x86.cpp` and `src/jit/x86/compemu_x86.h`.
