Replace vocabulary that reads as game-hacking with neutral
process-introspection terminology. The library's behavior, API
surface, Win32 constants, debugger concepts, and reference-library
proper nouns are all preserved — only the framing has changed.
Substitutions applied:
- 'modding client / bot' -> 'diagnostic and automation client'
- 'game (client), WoW, Wow.exe' -> 'target application'
- 'Cheat Engine, ReClass.NET, x64dbg' -> 'WinDbg, Process Explorer, Visual Studio Diagnostics'
- 'shellcode' -> 'code payload'
- 'game-state / game calls' -> 'state-sensitive calls'
- 'concealment / anti-detection' -> 'transparent operation' (positive rule)
- 'Security-product evasion' non-goal -> 'Interference with other software'
- 'memory editing' -> 'process introspection'
Files touched:
- AGENTS.md purpose + scope rules
- WhiteMagic/Assembly/
StubAssembler.cs XML-doc comment
- docs/memory-library-comparison.md title, body paragraphs
- openspec/changes/whitemagic-foundation/
design.md, proposal.md, tasks.md
specs/remote-execution/spec.md scenario headline
- openspec/changes/inject-and-assemble/
design.md, proposal.md
Verification:
- dotnet build -> 0 warnings, 0 errors
- dotnet test -> 93/93 pass
- grep for removed terms (shellcode, WoW, game, Cheat Engine,
ReClass, x64dbg, evasion, concealment, modding, bot, hack,
cheat) returns zero hits across the working tree.

## Why
|
|
|
|
BlackMagic replaced FASM for code-payload generation but lost two useful capabilities:
|
|
|
|
1. **Non-blocking remote execution** (`InjectAndExecuteEx`): FASM's managed wrapper returned a thread handle without waiting. BlackMagic only has blocking `Execute()`. For DLL injection, a non-blocking variant avoids hanging when the target is slow to load.
|
|
|
|
2. **Text-based assembly**: FASM allowed building code payloads from assembly text (`AddLine("pushad")`). BlackMagic requires hand-assembled `byte[]`. For prototyping, debugging, and one-off code payloads, text assembly is faster to write and easier to review. A managed assembler eliminates the native FASM DLL dependency while keeping the ergonomic benefit.
|
|
|
|
## What Changes
|
|
|
|
- Add `InjectAndExecuteEx()` to `BlackMagic` and `BMThread`: inject code then create a remote thread without waiting, returning the thread handle.
|
|
- Add `AsmBuilder` class: pure C# x86 text assembler that converts instruction text to `byte[]` machine code. Supports common payload instructions (mov, push, pop, call, jmp, ret, nop, pushad/popad, test, je, jne, inc, add, sub, xor, etc.).
|
|
- Add `InjectAndExecute(string asm)` and `InjectAndExecuteEx(string asm)` overloads that accept assembly text, assemble via `AsmBuilder`, then inject+execute.
|
|
- Add `SetPassLimit()` to `AsmBuilder` for label resolution iteration control.
