Long guides and case studies now have a small `↑ Top` link at the bottom right. It appears after scrolling, returns smoothly to the page header, and moves keyboard focus back to navigation. Reduced-motion users return immediately; the native `#top` link also works without JavaScript. The link is shared by all 11 styled website pages. The README and style guide document it, and the evidence notes retain the original browser-example digest alongside its later navigation addition. Validation: - Website preparation and verification: 12 HTML pages, 195 local references, SVG XML, the six-file ZIP and the sole manual Pages publisher. - Oxfmt, `git diff --check` and `npm run check:fast` with Node.js 24.18.0. - Focused browser checks at `/` and `/rea/`: 22 routes, 21 pointer returns, six keyboard returns, five viewport widths, smooth scrolling, reduced motion, focus return and the no-JavaScript anchor. - Existing site interactions: 24 routes, 68 copy buttons, 20 comparison steps, two CSV exports, two ZIP downloads and eight viewport widths from 320px to 1440px. Code excerpts are unchanged. - Desktop and mobile rendering reviewed. Downloadable Electron source and CSV export source/data are unchanged. Publication continues through the existing manual Pages workflow after merge.

<h2>DX-Ball's sound-pan calculation</h2>
|
|
<p>
|
|
Recover a sound-pan calculation from a 1996 Windows game. REA's
|
|
instructions, caller references and numeric constants lead to a
|
|
small C function, checked against the original behavior and all 63
|
|
compiled bytes.

<h2>How Notion copies text and HTML</h2>
|
|
<p>
|
|
Trace a page-facing API through Notion's packaged JavaScript.
|
|
Follow its IPC wrappers to the system clipboard, then see how a
|
|
small HTML marker keeps rich block data connected to a copy.

<h2>How TH04 aims a ring of bullets</h2>
|
|
<p>
|
|
Inspect the original 16-bit angle helper with REA. Match its
|
|
multiply, divide and coordinate operations to readable C++, then
|
|
see how they produce a ring aimed at the player.

<h2>Step-by-step guides</h2>
|

<p>
|
|
The guides walk through a native calculation, an Electron export and a
|
|
browser request. Each starts with a prompt and a concrete target.
