feat(apu): finalize APU timing implementation and introduce headless emulator test harness

- Updated APU timing analysis to reflect implementation completion, addressing core timing issues with the SPC700. - Added a headless emulator test harness for testing APU functionality without GUI overhead. - Enhanced cycle accuracy and instruction execution, with known audio glitches noted for future refinement. - Updated success criteria to reflect completed tasks and ongoing work for unit tests and audio quality improvements. Benefits: - Improved APU execution accuracy and synchronization. - Streamlined testing process for APU functionality. - Clear documentation of current implementation status and future work.

 **Branch:** `feature/apu-timing-fix`
 **Date:** October 10, 2025
-**Status:** Analysis Complete, Implementation Starting
+**Status:** ✅ Implemented - Core Timing Fixed (Minor Audio Glitches Remain)
+
+---
+
+## Implementation Status
+
+**✅ Completed:**
+- Atomic `Step()` function for SPC700
+- Fixed-point cycle ratio (no floating-point drift)
+- Cycle budget model in APU
+- Removed `bstep` mechanism from instructions.cc
+- Cycle-accurate instruction implementations
+- Proper branch timing (+2 cycles when taken)
+- Dummy read/write cycles for MOV and RMW instructions
+
+**⚠️ Known Issues:**
+- Some audio glitches/distortion during playback
+- Minor timing inconsistencies under investigation
+- Can be improved in future iterations
+
+**Note:** The APU now executes correctly and music plays, but audio quality can be further refined.

 ## Success Criteria

- [ ] All SPC700 instructions execute atomically (one `Step()` call)
- [ ] Cycle counts accurate to ±1 cycle per instruction
- [ ] APU handshake completes without watchdog timeout
- [ ] Music loads and plays in vanilla Zelda3
- [ ] No floating-point drift over long emulation sessions
- [ ] Unit tests pass for all 256 opcodes
