+# RED4ext logging shim
+
+`EdgeWeightGPS` is a minimal RED4ext plugin used to verify a native logging foothold without changing gameplay data.
+
+It writes `EdgeWeightGPS.log` beside the installed DLL:
+
+```text
+Cyberpunk 2077/red4ext/plugins/EdgeWeightGPS/EdgeWeightGPS.log
+```
+
+Current behavior:
+
+- Logs plugin load/unload.
+- Logs the RED4ext plugin handle and SDK pointer value passed to `Main`.
+- Does not call game RTTI or register script functions.
+
+Planned next step:
+
+- Build a richer RTTI/hooking variant with an MSVC-compatible Windows toolchain or a narrower hand-written SDK surface. The upstream RED4ext SDK headers build under MinGW for loader-only use, but the full SDK/static library currently pulls in generated native/GPU structures with MSVC layout assumptions.
+
+Build and install from the Fedora toolbox:
+
+```bash
+toolbox run -c 2077 ./tools/install_red4ext_shim.sh
+```
+
+This shim is read-only. It does not enable any of the archived traffic data patches.
