-//! C harness emitter (stub).
+//! C harness emitter.
 //!
-//! No harness source is generated yet — `emit` returns
-//! [`UnsupportedReason::LangUnsupported`].  The module exists so that
-//! [`crate::dynamic::lang::entry_kinds_supported`] can advertise the entry
-//! kinds Track B will deliver (Phase 16: `main(argc, argv)`,
-//! `LLVMFuzzerTestOneInput`, free functions with `(const char*, size_t)` or
-//! `(int, char**)` shapes) and so the verifier can surface
-//! `Inconclusive(EntryKindUnsupported { … })` instead of dropping C findings.
+//! Phase 16 (Track B Rust + C/C++ vertical) replaces the stub body with
+//! dispatch over [`CShape`] — the cross product of [`EntryKind`] and a
+//! lightweight per-file shape detector that inspects the entry file for
+//! `main(int argc, char *argv[])`, libFuzzer's `LLVMFuzzerTestOneInput`,
+//! and free functions with `(const char*, size_t)` signatures.
+//!
+//! Each shape emits a single `main.c` that:
+//! 1. Reads the payload from `NYX_PAYLOAD` / `NYX_PAYLOAD_B64` env vars.
+//! 2. `#include`s `entry.c` (the user's vulnerable code) and dispatches
+//!    via the per-shape adapter.
+//!
+//! Build step: `prepare_c()` in `build_sandbox.rs` runs
+//! `cc -O0 -o nyx_harness main.c` in the workdir.
+//!
+//! File layout in workdir:
+//! ```text
+//! main.c          ← harness entry point (generated, includes entry.c)
+//! entry.c         ← user entry source (copied from project)
+//! Makefile        ← optional, generated for reference
+//! ```
+//!
+//! Payload slot support:
+//! - `PayloadSlot::Param(0)` — pass payload as the first parameter (string
+//!   or `(buf, len)` pair depending on shape).
+//! - `PayloadSlot::EnvVar(name)` — set env var before invoking entry.
+//! - `PayloadSlot::Argv(n)` — `main(argc, argv)` shape: appended to argv.
