[Sumaiter]

Adds matching C implementations for 50 previously undecompiled PAL resident functions (11,856 bytes). Cross-game comparison identified public RAC3 implementations useful for 10 of these reconstructions. Immutable donor commits, paths and functions are credited in config/pal/crossgame_parallel01.tsv, source comments and THIRD_PARTY_NOTICES.md. Fingerprints were used to find references; acceptance uses this game's PAL retail code.

The batch covers packet generation, font metrics, particle setup, cursor parsing, object copying, resource dispatch and menu/list state updates. Interfaces were checked against actual callers and callees, including full 64-bit color forwarding, text and buffer pointers, callback argument types, output initialization and object extents. Candidates needing register pins, assembly barriers, unsupported padding or unproven shift bounds were excluded.

Adds 50 PAL match rows and corresponding US other rows while preserving all existing entries and their order. PAL matched code increases from 497,616 to 509,472 bytes (8.560511% to 8.764470%), and matched functions from 6,032 to 6,082. The US progress report is unchanged.

Validation:

• Rebuilt all 50 final translation units through the unchanged tools/cc.sh pipeline and compared them at their direct PAL catalogue addresses: 50/50 MATCH.
• Independently resolved all 610 text relocation entries against PAL retail, including call targets, function pointers, HI16/LO16 addresses and GP-relative references. Checked locally defined small-data initializers against retail; PAL GP was derived from startup code.
• Both versions' progress/source-map checks pass. Verified the exact PAL function/byte increase, unchanged US report, preservation of existing map rows, and that staged C source hashes equal the audited sources.

This validation covers the added translation units and their matching metadata. A full repository rebuild, US disc audit, linked game build and runtime test were not run. No compiler-pipeline changes, disc data, extracted binaries or assembly listings are included.
