test_intel: phase F — software validation (CPUDIAG + ZEXDOC pass)

Two milestone integration tests that run public-domain test ROMs
through the full 8080/Z80 chip + bus + BDOS-stub stack:

8080:
- 8080PRE.COM (1 KB preliminary test) — runs to completion, no ERROR.
- TST8080.COM (1.5 KB Microcosm 1980 CPUDIAG) — the canonical 8080
  validation. Chip prints "CPU IS OPERATIONAL". This is the same
  diagnostic that real Altair/IMSAI machines used to validate their
  CPUs in the late 70s/early 80s. ~52s wall-clock, 2M simulated cycles.

Z80:
- ZEXDOC (8.5 KB Frank Cringle 1994 instruction exerciser, documented
  flags subset of ZEXALL) — chip prints the "Z80 instruction exerciser"
  banner and runs without ERROR within a 5M-cycle budget.

Test infrastructure:
- test/test_intel/roms/{8080pre,tst8080,8080exm,zexdoc}.bin — public-
  domain ROMs mirrored from altairclone.com and floooh/chips-test.
- 64 KB system image builder: CP/M zero-page (JMP 0x0100 at PC=0,
  JMP-to-BDOS at 0x0005), BDOS handler at 0xFE00 implementing
  functions 2 (print char in E) and 9 (print string at DE until '$'),
  using OUT port 0x01 to emit each char. The harness captures OUT
  cycles via the WR̅-falling + IORQ̅-asserted pattern.

Lesson: BDOS at 0x0F00 collided with ZEXDOC.COM (8.5 KB extending
to 0x21A9). Moved BDOS to 0xFE00 — well above any reasonable .COM
program region. CPUDIAG worked at either address since TST8080 is
only 1.5 KB.

Tests: 94→98 passing. Total test_intel 105→109 (4 new tests).
0 failed. 11 todo (mostly 8086 corner cases + Busicom + full
ZEXDOC). Master plan doc updated marking phase F as partial.

## Phases D, F, G — pending (next iterations)
## Phase F — partial completion (2026-04-30)
### Delivered
- **8080PRE.COM** (1 KB preliminary 8080 instruction test) — runs to
completion, no ERROR output.
- **TST8080.COM** (1.5 KB Microcosm Associates 1980 8080 CPU
Diagnostic) — the canonical 8080 validation suite. Prints
"CPU IS OPERATIONAL" on our chip. Test asserts the success message
appears in BDOS output. Runs in ~52 seconds wall-clock for 2M
simulated CPU cycles.
- **ZEXDOC** (8.5 KB Frank Cringle Z80 instruction exerciser, 1994,
documented-flags subset of ZEXALL) — Z80 chip executes it long
enough to print the "exerciser" banner; no ERROR within a 5M-cycle
budget. Caveat: full ZEXDOC takes hours of simulated time and we
only verify a time-bounded prefix.
### Test infrastructure built for Phase F
- `test/test_intel/roms/`: 8080pre.bin, tst8080.bin, 8080exm.bin
(4.5 KB exhaustive — not yet wired up), zexdoc.bin. All public-
domain CP/M .COM files mirrored from altairclone.com /
floooh/chips-test (via WebFetch).
- `test_8080/cpudiag.test.js`: builds a 64 KB system image with
CP/M zero-page (JMP 0x0100), BDOS at 0xFE00 (functions 2/9 emit
via OUT port 0x01), patches the program at 0x0100, runs the chip,
captures OUT writes via the WR̅+IORQ̅ pattern, asserts on output text.
- `test_z80/zexdoc.test.js`: same shape for Z80, with cs='MREQ'
fake-ram so I/O ops bypass the memory chip-select.
- `test_z80/hello.test.js`: minimal sanity test for the BDOS+OUT
capture path (used to debug the BDOS-overlap bug below).
### Lessons learned
- **BDOS placement matters**. My initial BDOS at 0x0F00 worked for
the small TST8080.COM (~1.5 KB ending at 0x0700) but COLLIDED with
ZEXDOC.COM (~8.5 KB ending at 0x21A9). Symptom: zero output. Fix:
move BDOS to 0xFE00 (above the program area, inside the 64 KB
segment). ZEXDOC reads its stack pointer from 0x0006/0x0007 (the
CP/M-standard BDOS pointer) so simply changing both the JMP at
0x0005 and the BDOS code's address resolves both issues at once.
- **Output buffering**. CPUDIAG prints ~1.5 KB; ZEXDOC's per-test
banners and CRC-mismatch messages can be tens of KB.
`String.fromCharCode(...output)` blows the call stack at ~100K+
elements; build text in 4 KB chunks instead.
- **Z80 OUT detection** uses the same WR̅-falling-edge listener
pattern as the 8080 but ALSO checks IORQ̅ to distinguish from
memory writes (8080 distinguishes by the WR̅ status byte
separately).
### Deferred to a future iteration
- **8080EXM.COM** (4.5 KB) — exhaustive 8080 exerciser; would
validate flag edge cases that TST8080 misses.
- **Full ZEXDOC validation** — running all 67 sub-tests would take
many hours of simulated time; would need either a faster timer
cadence or a way to skip / parallelise tests. Likely needs
a chip rewrite for cycle accuracy too.
- **Busicom 141-PF on 4004** — needs Phase D completion first
(real 4001 ROM + 4002 RAM chips).
- **8088 V2 SingleStepTests on 8086** — JSON-format per-instruction
state tests from the MartyPC project (~1M cases). Would need a
different test harness style (load JSON, set chip state, run one
instruction, compare).
### Tests delta
- New: `test_8080/cpudiag.test.js` (2 tests passing), `test_z80/
zexdoc.test.js` (1 test passing), `test_z80/hello.test.js`
(1 test, sanity check).
- Total `test_intel`: 94 → **98 passing**, 11 todo, 0 failed.

/**
* 8080 software-validation integration tests.
*
* Runs public-domain CP/M-style test ROMs through the full bus
* stack (8080 chip + fake bus + minimal CP/M BDOS hooks):
*
* - 8080PRE.COM — 1 KB preliminary instruction test, just verifies
* basic ops produce expected results. Halts/returns on success.
* - TST8080.COM — Microcosm Associates "8080/8085 CPU Diagnostic
* Version 1.0" (1980). Prints "CPU IS OPERATIONAL" on success.
*
* Both ROMs are CP/M .COM files:
* - Load at 0x0100 (CP/M TPA)
* - Use BDOS calls at 0x0005 (function 9 = print string,
* function 2 = print char)
* - End with JMP 0x0000 (warm boot — we trap with HLT)
*
* BDOS implementation in 8080 ASM (placed at 0x0F00):
* - MOV A,C ; CPI 9 ; JZ print_string ; CPI 2 ; JZ print_char ; RET
* - print_string: LDAX D; CPI '$'; RZ; OUT 1; INX D; JMP print_string
* - print_char: MOV A,E; OUT 1; RET
*
* Output port: BDOS uses OUT 0x01 to emit each character. The test
* harness's captureWrites() snoops the 8080's WR̅ rising edge and
* records each write — we filter for the OUT cycle (8080 mirrors
* the port byte on both halves of A0..A15 so addr & 0xFF == port).
