Tells
Source snapshot: 9b4f8a3 (2026-09-23); retained QMail clone, including M7.
Working = implemented in this snapshot, not a new runtime/test certification.
Partial = an identified implementation/exposure gap; obsolete = retained compatibility only.
Entry points and static functions are selected navigation anchors; full lexical index: function-index.txt.
Used by / Tests list selected source references (including callback registration), not a proven dynamic call graph.
Tests were inspected, not executed; use tools/test.ps1 with isolated scratch data.
Old paths come from docs/path-map.txt; absent mappings denote additions after the move.
