5//! APU frame counter (sequencer).
6//!
7//! Per `docs/apu-2a03.md` §Frame counter and NESdev wiki "APU Frame Counter".
8//!
9//! Two modes:
10//! - **4-step (mode 0)**: clocks at CPU cycles 7457, 14913, 22371, 29828, 29829, 29830
11//! (NTSC). Quarter-frame events at every step. Half-frame events at 14913 and
12//! 29829. Frame IRQ asserted at cycles 29828 and 29829 and 29830 if not inhibited.
13//! - **5-step (mode 1)**: clocks at CPU cycles 7457, 14913, 22371, 37281, 37282
14//! (NTSC). Quarter-frame at 7457, 14913, 22371, 37281. Half-frame at 14913 and
15//! 37281. No IRQ.
16//!
17//! ## PAL step positions (v2.1.5)
18//!
19//! The 2A03's sequencer divides the CPU clock; the PAL 2A07 uses a different
20//! divisor, so the *same* six sequencer steps land at different CPU-cycle
21//! counts. Selected by [`FrameCounter::pal`] (true only for
22//! [`Region::Pal`](crate::Region::Pal); Dendy keeps the NTSC period):
23//! - **4-step (mode 0)**: 8313, 16627, 24939, 33252, 33253, 33254.
24//! Quarter at 8313 / 16627 / 24939 / 33253. Half at 16627 / 33253.
25//! Frame IRQ at 33252 / 33253 / 33254 if not inhibited.
26//! - **5-step (mode 1)**: 8313, 16627, 24939, 41565, 41566.
27//! Quarter at 8313 / 16627 / 24939 / 41565. Half at 16627 / 41565. No IRQ.
28//!
29//! These are the canonical Mesen2 `stepCyclesPal` values (verified against
30//! blargg's PAL-calibrated `pal_apu_tests` corpus — see
31//! `crates/rustynes-test-harness/tests/pal_apu_tests.rs`). The IRQ-flag
32//! visibility / `irq_line_active` split at the terminal three cycles is
33//! identical in structure to the NTSC path; only the cycle counts move.
34//!
35//! Writing `$4017`:
36//! - Resets the cycle counter, with a 3- or 4-cycle delay (depending on whether the
37//! write happened on an even or odd CPU cycle: 3 if write occurred on apu-clock-aligned
38//! cycle, 4 otherwise).
39//! - If mode 1 (bit 7 set), immediately fires a quarter+half-frame clock.
40//! - If IRQ-inhibit (bit 6 set), clears any pending frame IRQ — on the write
41//! cycle itself, not after the timer-reset delay.
