Relates to #171.

#171 asks for a way to follow Zelda Notes style progress outside the game. While the API mapping is in progress, this takes another route that already works, offline and with no server: a panel beside the game that reads the save and, when a module asks for it, the running game.

Screenshots and a tour of every view, rendered from a real save with real timer data: https://claude.ai/artifact/JrcTDW5T5GAi9wDsWBnvj4

What it adds

• View > Adventure Notes (Ctrl+Shift+N) opens a panel for the running game, as a tall rail or a wide strip that folds to one line.
• The emulator knows no save format. Each title has a module, notes/<program id>.js, that reads the newest save and returns tabs, views and rows (values, ticks, bars). Saving the file reloads the panel, and an error shows its line. The panel can write a starter module for the running game.
• A module can also define tick(), called ten times a second while the game runs and is not paused, and read the game's memory (read only) to follow it live.

Shipped modules

The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time (0400486024DEC000):

• Global: songs, quest items, places visited, Heart Pieces given by people and minigames, a score per dungeon, Gold Skulltulas, Heart Pieces on the ground, Heart Containers, Silver Rupees, bosses defeated, chests opened out of 190.
• Dungeons: map, compass, boss key, small keys held, Gold Skulltulas split by the age that can reach them, the boss, each mini-boss and the Heart Container on its own line.
• Stats: the counters the game keeps (rolls, jumps, distance in km, and so on).
• Timers: time in each dungeon, in each boss room and in every place, to a tenth of a second, kept between sessions in notes/state. The module finds the record where the game keeps its zone and room with one heap search (under a second), then reads 88 bytes each tick. Real time as speedruns count it: loads and the game's pause menu count, pausing the emulator does not.

Pokopia (0400A3A01EE4C000): Pokédex, gifts waiting, moves taught by Pokémon, collections, bag, and who lives in each zone. The save layout comes from PokoHex (GPL-3.0).

Module API

Documented in dist/notes/README.md: save.data, notes.file, notes.unzip, notes.utf8, notes.include, and for the live part notes.memory(address, size) (up to 4 KiB), notes.search(pattern) (heap search on a worker thread), notes.load / notes.store and tick().

A module cannot reach the network or other files, cannot write the save or the game's memory, and is stopped after 5 seconds. Memory reads go through the process page table with the existing Core::Nx2Debug::ReadGuestMemory and SearchGuestMemory, as the debug server does, and return null when the game is stopping.

Build

Adds the Qt6 Qml component (QJSEngine). The shipped modules are copied next to the program after the build (notes/). The user's own notes folder wins over the shipped one.

Testing

Linux (CachyOS, RX 7900 XTX), Ocarina of Time 1.1.1 and Pokopia saves, several sessions, including the live timers. Not yet run on Windows or macOS.

Limits

• Ocarina chests are counted, not mapped one by one yet.
• Interiors (fountains, houses, grottos) are levels inside a zone and count as that zone.
• Timers start when tracking starts; earlier play time cannot be recovered.

Summary by CodeRabbit

• New Features
  • Added an Adventure Notes panel, accessible from the View menu with Ctrl+Shift+N.
  • The panel can display game-specific notes based on save data, refresh while a game is running, and detect changes to notes modules and save data automatically.
  • Choose from multiple panel layouts, adjust its size, or fold it away. If no notes module is available, you can create a starter module for the current game.

Walkthrough

The application now includes an Adventure Notes panel. Per-game JavaScript modules read save data and provide reports. The panel supports rail and strip layouts, and the main window provides a menu action to show or hide it.

Changes: Adventure Notes

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Script contract and build support CMakeLists.txt, src/yuzu/CMakeLists.txt, src/yuzu/render/adventure_script.h	The build adds Qt QML, the Adventure Notes sources, and the shipped notes directory. The script interfaces define report data and operations available to JavaScript modules.
JavaScript module runtime src/yuzu/render/adventure_script.cpp, src/core/core.h, src/core/core.cpp	The runtime loads modules, parses reports, and provides save, memory, search, state, and utility operations. It applies execution watchdogs to module evaluation, reads, and ticks. Guest-memory readers coordinate with process shutdown through a shared mutex.
Panel activation and report loading src/yuzu/main.ui, src/yuzu/main_window.h, src/yuzu/main_window.cpp, src/yuzu/render/adventure_notes.h, src/yuzu/render/adventure_notes.cpp	The View menu adds a checkable Adventure Notes action. The panel loads per-game modules, selects matching saves, refreshes reports when files change, and runs module ticks when the system is unpaused.
Report rendering and panel interaction src/yuzu/render/adventure_notes.cpp	The panel renders report rows, tabs, views, progress, and checkmarks. It supports rail and strip layouts, folding, resizing, dragging, and saved layout dimensions.

Explanation

The title names the main change: a new Adventure Notes progress panel in the Qt frontend that reads the save file and follows the running game. The changeset matches this. It adds the AdventureNotes widget, the JavaScript notes-script host, the View menu action with Ctrl+Shift+N, the Qt6::Qml build dependency, and the shipped notes modules. The core change to guest-memory reader locking is a supporting part and is not named, which is acceptable for a title.

Minor · Security & Privacy · Quick win

game.folder and game.file are not checked, so a module can read any file.

The module sets folder and file, and NewestSave joins them into paths with /. No code checks that they are plain names. With std::filesystem, an absolute right-hand side replaces the left side: title / "/etc/passwd" gives /etc/passwd. A value like "../../.." also leaves the save root.

NotesScript::Read then sends the full file content to the module as save.data. This breaks the documented promise that modules cannot reach other files. NotesHost::file already applies PlainName for the same reason.

Fix: check folder and file with the same plain-name rule in NotesScript::Load.

🛡️ Proposed fix (in adventure_script.cpp, NotesScript::Load)

-    if (game.isError() || !engine->globalObject().property(QStringLiteral("read")).isCallable() ||
-        folder.isEmpty() || file.isEmpty()) {
+    if (game.isError() || !engine->globalObject().property(QStringLiteral("read")).isCallable() ||

Fixed in cd7cc20. NotesScript::Load now rejects a folder or file that is not a plain name (same PlainName rule as notes.file), and "." as well, so a module can only read its own game's save.

@Nolar-Hack Thanks for the fix. NotesScript::Load now rejects separators and .. Verification found one remaining path escape on Windows.

PlainName still accepts D:secret.txt. If the save root is on another drive, std::filesystem::path::operator/ replaces the save path with that drive-relative path.

Please reject drive-qualified names and retry verification with Windows regression coverage. I did not run a Windows test.

The module can also select another game’s save folder by name. If the intended boundary is the running game’s save, folder needs a separate identity check.

Fixed in 00c0a8d. PlainName now also rejects ':', so a drive-relative name such as D:secret.txt is refused on Windows. A module's folder must also be its own program id: notes/.js can only read the save folder of that program id, not another game's.

@Nolar-Hack Thanks for the fix. I inspected 00c0a8d833. PlainName rejects :, and NotesScript::Load checks the folder against the module filename.

Windows regression coverage remains unverified. Please add or run a Windows regression for a drive-relative name, a mismatched program ID, and a valid save. Please share the results.

Resume a slice after a search timeout.

If SearchGuestMemory reaches its deadline before the end of a slice, SearchHeap skips the rest of that slice but continues searching later slices. The returned array can therefore omit earlier matches without indicating that the search was incomplete.

Display tick errors in the panel

When a module’s tick() throws, this branch only logs the diagnostic. The panel does not show the documented error message and line. Display the diagnostic here.

Update the error-handling branch in AdventureNotes::TickModule to display the
tick diagnostic, including its message and line, through the existing panel
error-presentation path instead of only logging it. Preserve the current
behavior for successful ticks and empty errors; use the panel’s established
display mechanism rather than introducing a new API.

- Around line 280-299: Update NotesHost::unzip to avoid unbounded,
non-interruptible qUncompress; use an established bounded decompression
mechanism that can stop during decompression. Establish an output limit that
accommodates valid Pokopia save sizes, enforce it during expansion, and preserve
the existing error behavior for invalid streams.
- Around line 360-367: Keep the watchdog active throughout metadata access in
the module-loading flow, including the title, accent, folder, and file
properties and the read lookup. Check for interruption after these accesses and
handle it as a load error, preserving the existing error handling for other
invalid module metadata.
- Around line 401-406: Keep the watchdog active through ParseReport in the
read-result handling flow; do not clear interruption before parsing completes.
If the watchdog interrupts parsing, report that interruption as an error using
the existing error-handling mechanism, while preserving the current read-error
behavior.
- Around line 409-415: Move the `tick` property lookup in `NotesScript::Tick`
into the existing watchdog-protected execution path so a blocking getter cannot
stall the panel timer; preserve the callable check and clear the watchdog
interruption on every exit path.
- Around line 53-58: Keep the watchdog active while Describe accesses error
properties in both read() and tick() exception paths; adjust the surrounding
watchdog scope so a nonterminating message getter is still stopped by the
five-second timeout, preserving existing error handling.

Thanks for the review. All seven points from the 10:26 review are fixed in b991a6b:

1. Packaging (src/yuzu/CMakeLists.txt, release-binaries.yml): the Linux tar.gz, the AppImage (AppDir/usr/bin/notes) and cmake --install now ship dist/notes, lib included, next to the program.
2. Bounded decompression (NotesHost::unzip): zlib inflate in 1 MiB steps with a 256 MiB ceiling. It also stops when the watchdog interrupts the module. Tested with a normal stream (round trip), a truncated stream, a 400 KB stream that inflates to 400 MiB (refused at the limit) and non-zlib data (error).
3. Load metadata: the module body, game's getters (title, accent, folder, file) and the read lookup all run under the watchdog. An interruption is reported as a load error.
4. Report parsing: ParseReport and Describe run inside the watchdog scope of read(). An interruption is reported as an error.
5. tick lookup: the lookup, the call and Describe are all inside the watchdog, and the interruption is cleared on every path.
6. Error description: covered by 4 and 5 for read() and tick(). During load, Describe was already inside the scope.
7. Tick errors: a tick() error now shows in the panel through ShowMessage, once per distinct error rather than ten times a second, and is still logged.

Built locally (Linux, clang, no warnings). The unzip loop was tested on its own as described in point 2. The panel has not been run with this build yet.
