 **Caveat:** the loader and app are linked at fixed addresses (`0x01880000`,
 `0x01840000`). Re-running while that app is live overwrites the running code.
 Power-cycle (or choose new addresses) before loading again.

+**Monitor Type VR319** is the answer to the geometry question: the unit is in
+the VR319 (19", 100 dpi) mode, not the emulator's forced VR150. That is why the
+real framebuffer is 1280x1024 with the 256-byte stride.

+The console refuses diagnostics while the DWT has active work — our injected
+xhello window is the blocker. The service guide requires no open windows before
+remote tests: power-cycle (or close all session windows) and retry.
