What

The PAL and USA v2.00 copies of the matched USA v1.01 func_L00_002D5EB8 (src/levels/shared/L00_002D3798-g8.c), ported as C, and one near-miss pair retained in nonmatching/.

Function	Bytes	Places	From
func_PAL_L00_002D6408	1376	27 levels	func_L00_002D5EB8 with the 50 Hz duration 0x12C (300 frames) where v1.01 passes 0x168 (360), and PAL's own callees func_PAL_00288E20, func_PAL_L00_0030E648, func_PAL_002B1588. New src/pal/levels/shared/L00_002D6408-g8.c
func_US2_L00_002D6258	1376	27 levels	func_L00_002D5EB8 with v2.00's own callees func_US2_00288F30, func_US2_L00_0030D9F8, func_US2_002B1880. New src/us2/levels/shared/L00_002D6258-g8.c

Both use the -g8 default profile, like their original, so config/cflags.txt is unchanged. The per-level externals are ref_PAL_L00_002D6408_00 and ref_US2_L00_002D6258_00.

Retained near miss (markers kept): func_PAL_002CCAC8 and func_US2_002CCC18 (2100 bytes, boot + 27 levels), the PAL and v2.00 copies of func_002CBC58. Both are exact (28/28) only with volatile on D_001AB910, the qualifier the merged USA C (src/game/002C7748-panels-g8.c) uses, which no known code writes. Without it they are 2068/2100 bytes: the empty arm else if (page == D_0025A058 && !D_001AB910) { } loses retail's dead read (beql with lw D_001AB910 in its slot). Three lawful forms were measured. The notes in nonmatching/game/ record why they cannot close: flow's (use (const_int 0)) after a block-ending call stops cross-jumping. This needs a maintainer's ruling on D_001AB910, which also covers func_002CBAE0, func_002CBC58 and the PAL/v2.00 copies of both.

Checked

• tools/check.py: func_PAL_L00_002D6408 27 of 27, func_US2_L00_002D6258 27 of 27.
• tools/build.py all --strict: 28 programs OK.
• tools/build.py all --version pal --strict: 28 programs OK.
• tools/build.py all --version us2 --strict: 28 programs OK.
• placed.json: each function is placed in all 27 carrying programs; none fell back.
• python3 -m unittest discover -s tests: 540 tests, OK (1 skipped).
• python3 tests/check_repository.py: repository checks passed.
• python3 tools/progress.py --check: passes (the reports of us, pal, us2 agree).
• git ls-files --eol: all 7 changed files i/lf w/lf.

tools/progress.py was not run; progress/report.json and the README are not touched.

Adds 1 PAL and 1 USA v2.00 function (C); no USA v1.01 functions. Independent of #441.
