The shader reader now reads Switch 2 (NVN2) programs, whose 0xe0-byte control sections and task and mesh stages the
runtime keys as it does, and runs on Python 3.12 through the zstandard package. The kit's new last step writes the
36,031 shaders of the player's game files as a seed and runs ocarina.exe --prepare-shaders, which translates them and
has the GPU driver build each one's library, about 5 minutes. On a cold walk into play this took the stalls from
14 seconds of pipeline builds and 9 of translations to none.

tools/make_game.py checks the title and main's build id (1.1.1), stores the ExeFS modules plainly (ZBIC through the
player's own zbic package), packs every RomFS file straight from the container into romfs.bin and index.json after
checking its sha256, lifts with recomp/patches-v111.txt plus the two SDK bring-up fixes, and compiles and links with
MSYS2's clang into <out>/ocarina.exe with the DLLs it loads and the shader translator beside it. Finished steps are
skipped on a rerun. tools/nup.py reads the container; tools/make_kit.py assembles the kit (sources, tools, the
translator, README-BuildKit.md) and refuses it when check_content finds game content.
Measured from an empty folder: 5.4 minutes in all on a 16-thread Ryzen 7 (RomFS 25 s, lift 48 s, compile 237 s), and
the result plays into Kokiri Forest.
