+The dynamic-analysis substrate (Phase 3).  It JIT-loads assembled images into

+
+The execution model is pure Go (stdlib only).  `Map` copies machine code into
+an anonymous `syscall.Mmap` mapping and enforces W^X (write the bytes, then
+`mprotect` to read-execute).  `Call` prepares a stack whose first word is the
+address of an assembly trampoline (`leaveJIT`), lays the ABI0 argument
+block after it, switches to that stack via `enterJIT` (which saves the Go
+stack pointer in a package global and jumps to the target), and recovers
+control when the function RETs into `leaveJIT` (which restores the Go stack
+and returns).  A 64-byte pad below the return address accommodates the

+`Load` / `LoadSource` / `LoadAST` parse, assemble and map a `.s` file in one
+step, returning a `Kernel` whose `CallFunc` method marshals the argument block
+by name.  The image must be self-contained (no external relocations); the
+assembler’s `Image.Bytes()` provides the code-and-data concatenation.
+
+The `gasm verify` CLI subcommand exposes this: it loads a file, reports the
+available functions and (with `-smoke`) calls each NOSPLIT function with zeroed
+arguments to confirm the trampoline round-trips.

+# Deferred decisions
+
+Design decisions deliberately postponed, with enough context to pick them up
+again without re-deriving the analysis.  Each entry records what is deferred,
+why, the options on the table, and the trigger that should reopen it.
+
+---
+
+## GOOBJ external (cross-package) symbol references
+
+**Status:** deferred (v0.15.0, 2026-08-02).  The GOOBJ emitter resolves only
+symbols defined in the file being assembled; a reference to any other symbol
+is rejected.
+
+**Why it is deferred.**  GOOBJ symbol references are *positional*: a
+reference is a `{PkgIdx, SymIdx}` pair, where `SymIdx` is the index of the
+symbol in the *referenced package's* symbol-definition table.  That ordering
+is not derivable from the reference site — it lives in the referenced
+package's gc export data (the iexport binary format, which evolves with the
+toolchain).  `cmd/asm` reads it with `cmd/internal` readers gasm cannot
+import, so emitting external references means either parsing export data
+ourselves or taking a dependency that does.
+
+**What works today.**  Single-package objects: every symbol the file defines
+(as `TEXT` or `GLOBL`, static or exported) and every reference to them.
+This covers the production use case — the go-flac / go-lz4 kernels carry no
+`FUNCDATA`/`PCDATA`, hence no references into `runtime`, and the Go side
+references the assembly symbols, never the reverse.  Such a package builds
+with its assembly object replaced by a gasm-emitted one.
+
+**The options, when we return.**
+
+1. **`golang.org/x/tools/go/gcexportdata` as a production dependency.**
+   The straightforward path: read each imported package's export file
+   (paths from `-importcfg` or `go list -export`), assign symbol indices in
+   its symbol order, write `PkgIndex`/`Autolib` entries (fingerprints from
+   the export files' build IDs) and positional references.  Robust across
+   toolchain versions — `x/tools` tracks the format.  **Cost:** the first
+   production dependency beyond the standard library, an explicit deviation
+   from the "production code depends only on the standard library"
+   principle in the README.  Requires the user's explicit agreement.
+2. **A minimal iexport parser of our own.**  Preserves self-containment.
+   Substantial effort and inherently fragile: the format is an internal
+   contract that changes with Go releases, so the parser needs a
+   version-gated fallback and regression tests against several toolchains.
+3. **Shell out to the toolchain for symbol metadata.**  Consistent with the
+   existing GOOBJ preamble probe (which already runs `go tool asm`), but no
+   toolchain command exposes a package's symbols *in definition-index
+   order* — `go tool nm` sorts differently — so this does not solve the
+   core problem on its own; it would only feed option 1 or 2.
+
+**Trigger to reopen.**  An assembly file that needs a cross-package
+reference — in practice `FUNCDATA $…, runtime·…(SB)` (stack maps / GC
+metadata written in assembly), or any kernel that calls into another
+package directly.  Until then, option 3's limitation is moot and the
+single-package emitter suffices.
