libSceKeyboard technical debt

Functional

• sceKeyboardDebugGetDeviceId - validation and the -1 sentinel follow the retail 11.00 dump decode: not-initialized, null output, -1 written up front, no device match returns INVALID_HANDLE, a match writes the device record's id. The decode binds the handle to a live device record, so an unopened or detached handle is the no-match case; whether firmware also has the mouse-style empty-slot success path is not decoded. The reported device id is a model constant for the single emulated device.
• sceDbgKeyboardReadState - the retail 11.00 dump decode recovers its two-argument signature and shows it calls sceKeyboardReadState's shared path with a third argument of 1 instead of 0; the flag's semantic effect inside that path is not decoded, so the export stays unimplemented until the flag is understood.
• sceKeyboardGetKey2Char: initialization, output length and reserved bytes remain unverified on a console; unconverted keys retain the host's length of 0. One title (PPSA15246) disassembled for this entry calls it after clearing the first 20 bytes of its output buffer (16-byte store 0x69942d, 32-bit store 0x699435; no size argument), uses a character only when the result is 0 and the first output byte is nonzero, and then reads the 16-bit value at offset 8. Which other output fields it reads and what its other arguments mean are not shown.

Unknown function info

• Keyboard export l76jptHfizM is recorded as a function with qualifier E#A in older and later version-labelled modules. In both, dynamic metadata maps library ID 4 and module ID 0 to libSceKeyboard. The older module-parameter words are 0x08540001 and 0x03200004; the later words are 0x13590001 and 0x13600007. The 17 older function NIDs under that qualifier have sorted-LF SHA-256 42ee4240ba6e95c22083ea1ce753b81bdc8852b5f241675f4eecbd9bcca83ad9 using the static ELF membership procedure. Version labels are not authenticated retail provenance; this digest identifies the NID set, not the binary or ABI. The export name, signature and behavior are unverified; this declaration throws.

• sceDbgKeyboardGetHandle (logical libSceDbgKeyboard, NID vob3PZretTg) - signature and behavior are unknown. This parameterless int declaration is an import placeholder, not a verified ABI prototype; every call throws through NotImplemented_nid_no_patch. The binding is in the 13.60 inventory.

• sceDbgKeyboardClose, sceDbgKeyboardGetKey2Char, sceDbgKeyboardInit, sceDbgKeyboardOpen, sceDbgKeyboardRead (libSceKeyboard) - names and NIDs are present in the PS5 3.20 export inventory, but no credible prototypes were found. They are declared without parameters solely to resolve known imports; this is not an ABI claim.

• sceKeyboardGetDeviceInfo and sceKeyboardSetProcessFocus: pointer arguments are passed to device ioctls. Device-info storage is 168 bytes in the connection-query caller, but its fields and the process-focus layout remain unresolved.

• sceKeyboardConnectPort, sceKeyboardDisconnectPort and sceKeyboardDeviceOpen: argument widths are confirmed. The meaning/order of the two 32-bit port arguments and the final 32-bit device-open argument still require the device-service backend.

• sceKeyboardPadEmulateClose and sceKeyboardPadEmulateOpen: the supplied keyboard library has neither export; their signatures remain unresolved.
