No cap, that's the whole signature. <italic>void</italic> in, <italic>void</italic> out, slay π

π DESCRIPTION π
Okay so here's the tea β β you call this one after you've been operating upon another core via the 'other' register region π§
And this part is not optional, bestie, it's literally the rule: it must be called after mips_cpc_lock_other π like, lock first, unlock after. That's the order. That's the whole arc. You don't skip the lock and jump straight to the unlock, that's not the vibe at all π
