diagcat.inc is the single catalog: one line per diagnostic with a stable
number in a per-category range. Included by errors.inc it gives E_*
constants; included by diagnostics.s it gives the message table.
docs/diagnostics.md is generated from it. The build rejects out-of-range
or duplicate numbers and any grammar .expect symbol missing from it.
diagnostics.s prints a two-line, 40-column-safe screen form and appends
full lines to NAME.ERR. NAME.ERR is scratched at the start and created
only when needed. After 20 errors, E221 replaces the next one and the
caller must stop. diskio.s gains output-file and DOS-command wrappers.
Verified in x128: screen RAM rows, diag.err and limit.err read back from
the D81, stale-file scratching, an unwritable ERR name (DOS 33 -> E201
once), and no open files after any phase. A counting mutation is caught.

Nova128 is an object-oriented language with an on-machine C128 compiler.
This adds the spec, decisions, architecture, backlog, and story claims,
plus the grammar fixtures (E00-S02), disk-image builder (E07-S01), and
the x128-verified platform probes:
- E01-S01 minimal native PRG
- E01-S02 MMU/common-RAM probe. With bottom common on, a P0/P1 pointer
aimed at bank 1 lands in bank 0 at the translated page. The verifier
traces every MMU write in the probe window.
- E01-S03 KERNAL wrapper (kcall). CHROUT, drive status, and a
device-not-present failure work from bank 0 and bank 1 mappings.
A/X/Y/C/ST are preserved and the MMU state is restored exactly.
- E01-S04 40/80-column display and clock probe
