Why source/ mirrors the game tree

The relinker looks for every module the executable needs anywhere beside its input. It writes each converted module to the same relative path under app0/ with a .guest.prx suffix. That is also where AnyPS5's module loader looks when the game opens /app0/<path>.prx. Keeping the original paths makes all three agree without configuration.

What is skipped

• fakelib/ holds stubs of system libraries that AnyPS5 provides itself, so these stubs are not unwrapped.
• Encrypted CNT entries (licenses, keys) are listed by --list as "encrypted CNT entry, not extractable" and are never written.
• Modules that fail to unwrap (other than eboot.bin and sce_module/) are reported as skipped <path>: <reason>. The run continues, because some packages ship files with a .prx name that are not executables.

sce_sys/

PS5 packages carry metadata twice: in the CNT container of the package header and in the game tree. The tool writes both into app0/sce_sys/. Files from the CNT come first, so a file present in both places ends up with the copy from the game tree.
