What

Declares 23 libScePad exports as throwing stubs (NotImplemented_nid_no_patch(__func__)). They are declared without parameters because their signatures are unknown, and are recorded in debt/libScePad.md.

scePadGetCapability, scePadGetControllerType, scePadGetDeviceInfo, scePadGetExtensionUnitInfo, scePadGetIdleCount, scePadGetMotionSensorPosition, scePadGetMotionTimerUnit, scePadGetSphereRadius, scePadIsDS4Connected, scePadIsLightBarBaseBrightnessControllable, scePadIsMoveConnected, scePadIsMoveReproductionModel, scePadIsSupportedAudioFunction, scePadIsValidHandle, scePadOpenExt2, scePadReadHistory, scePadReadStateExt, scePadResetLightBarAll, scePadResetLightBarAllByPortType, scePadSetExtensionReport, scePadSetLightBarBaseBrightness, scePadSetLightBarBlinking, scePadVrControllerGetPhysicalUsbConnectionStatus.

The names come from the aerolib NID list pinned in tools/nid_names.py, and each one hashes to its NID. Only game-facing calls were picked. System and internal names in the same list (Leonardo, Lotus, IR code, profile editing, telemetry, process focus, tracker) were left out.

No title is known to import these yet. A title that does now fails with a named not implemented error instead of a missing-import error.

tools/progress.py --compare against main 8a67eb2: +23 declared functions, all libScePad.

Rebased onto main 8a67eb2.

• scePadVrControllerGetTriggerEffectStates was dropped from this PR, because main declared it in 147c0db ("export the calls PPSA02530 imports").
• The debt entry moved from TechnicalDebt.md to docs/dev/debt/libScePad.md, following the per-library layout from feat(tools): keep technical debt in one file per library #4411.

Tested

On Windows 11, WinLibs GCC 15.2.0 r7, Release, main 8a67eb2 plus this commit:

• the libs target builds (Patching NIDs for libScePad, OK);
• all 24 aerolib NIDs (these 23 plus main's scePadVrControllerGetTriggerEffectStates) are exported by the built libScePad.prx;
• no name is defined twice in libScePad;
• tools/check_conventions.py --base origin/main passes.

ctest was not run. No title was run.

Checklist

• Based on current main; no other open PR implements the same functions
• One topic per PR; follow-ups go in a new PR
• No comments in code except technical debt
• Unimplemented paths throw (NotImplemented_nid_no_patch); silent stubs are listed in TechnicalDebt
• No notes, investigation .md files or images added to the repository (attach them to this PR)
• New third-party code is a submodule built from source
• Generic behaviour, not specific to one title
• Depends on: none
• AI-assisted: yes

Closing this one, for these reasons:

• It adds 23 exports that only throw NotImplemented, with no parameters because their signatures are unknown. Behaviour is the same as main for any title that calls them (it aborts either way); only the symbol now exists.
• The description states that no title is known to import them, so nothing here boots, fixes or measures anything. Filling progress gaps is not a reason on its own to add exports.
• No test and no reference (KytyPS5, shadPS4, FreeBSD, a real title's call site) backs any signature or return value.

You're welcome to reopen, or send a new PR, once a title imports one of these calls and the PR implements it with a signature, behaviour from a reference or call-site evidence, and a test that fails without the change.
