* feat(native): list ELF and Mach-O initializer and finalizer functions inspect_native_initializers and inspect-native-initializers list the functions an ELF or Mach-O image runs before and after main: ELF DT_INIT, DT_FINI, preinit, init and fini arrays and .ctors/.dtors, and Mach-O __mod_init_func, __mod_term_func and __init_offsets, with slot addresses, resolved targets, symbols where available and relocation facts for relocatable objects. Nothing is executed. Slot, symbol, relocation and note budgets are shared across tables, sentinels are matched at the image width, and target-derived names are bounded and marked untrusted. * fix(native): keep ELF initializer slots unresolved when relocation coverage is partial A skipped, unreadable or over-budget section relocation table now keeps every slot it could reach unresolved instead of reading the stored word as raw or dropping a .ctors slot as a sentinel. Dynamic writes that only partly overlap a slot, or write it twice, leave it unresolved. Linked images no longer reapply retained non-SHF_ALLOC link-time records. The dynamic relocation walk now pauses at the shared reader's step boundaries and observes cancellation there, resolved targets need only their first byte mapped, and unreadable symbol names make the report incomplete. * fix(native): stop reporting unchecked Mach-O initializer words as resolved Object files now apply their own section relocations: an UNSIGNED entry against a defined symbol gives symbol_addend, one against an undefined symbol gives unresolved_import, and any other entry leaves the slot unresolved. Linked images without a fixup decoder, such as 32-bit ones, keep pointer slots unresolved when an LC_DYLD_INFO bind stream or LC_DYSYMTAB external relocations could replace the stored word. LC_DYLD_INFO rebases now report dyld_info_rebase instead of chained_fixup, and unreadable symbol names make the report incomplete. Section headers keep their declared reloff and nreloc for this. * docs(native): move initializer guide under docs/guides/native The documentation guide assigns analyst workflows to docs/guides/<domain>/. Move the guide there, place its navigation and directory entries in the Native binaries group, and update links from the docs index, CLI guide, spec and authored skill. The public /native-initializers route is unchanged. The guide and spec also describe per-slot relocation coverage, retained link-time records, Mach-O object relocations, undecoded bind streams, the dyld_info_rebase resolution and unreadable names. * fix(native): keep IFUNC and partly relocated ELF initializer slots unresolved An absolute relocation against an STT_GNU_IFUNC symbol no longer reports the resolver address as the target. Section relocation records now use their real write width, so a record that writes only part of a slot, starts inside it or repeats it leaves the slot unresolved instead of reading a raw zero or dropping a .ctors slot as a sentinel. On 32-bit ARM the Thumb bit is cleared when locating a target's section and file offset, while value_va keeps the stored callable value. * fix(native): locate Thumb Mach-O initializer targets and reject arm64_32 with a 64-bit header On CPU_TYPE_ARM the Thumb bit is cleared when locating and naming a target, since nlist values do not carry it. An arm64_32 image that declares a 64-bit header is rejected as malformed rather than read with 8-byte slots. The guide and spec describe IFUNC relocations, partly relocated section slots, Thumb targets and this rejection. * fix(native): index initializer address lookups and keep ambiguous mappings unknown ELF and Mach-O initializer lookups now build the shared file mapping index once per image, so each slot and target lookup is logarithmic in the number of load segments rather than a scan of every mapping. An address that load segments map ambiguously no longer falls back to a section header offset. Its file offset is reported as unknown and the report is incomplete; only genuinely unmapped spans use the section fallback. * fix(native): report Mach-O bind names over the name budget A bound import name longer than the 1024-byte name budget was dropped without a trace, although it is the only identity of an unresolved initializer target. It now counts toward the over-long name limitation and makes the report incomplete. * test(native): count mapping lookups instead of timing the load index regression The load-mapping regression asserted a wall-clock bound, which is sensitive to machine load. It now spies on the shared mapping module and requires the same number of mapping scans and index builds for 8 and 64 slots, so a per-slot scan of every load segment fails deterministically on a small fixture. * fix(native): yield while decoding legacy rebase runs * fix(native): preserve initializer mapping and coverage * fix(native): index legacy fixup spans * fix(native): preserve relocation uncertainty and bound bind lookup work * fix(native): validate ELF slot mappings and yield section relocation scans --------- Co-authored-by: Matt Van Horn <455140+mvanhorn@users.noreply.github.com> Co-authored-by: morluto <76467478+morluto@users.noreply.github.com>
