Rust
First part was straightforward (the divisions are actually just right shifts), second part not so much. I made some assumptions about the input program, namely that in the end register 8 is divided by 8, then an output is made, then everything starts from the beginning again (if a isn't 0). I found that the output always depends on at most 10 bits of a, so I ran through all 10-bit numbers and grouped them by the first generated output. At that point it's just a matter of chaining these 10-bit numbers from the correct groups so that they overlap on 7 bits. The other 3 bits are consumed each round.

Your code helped me find my bug, thanks.
Wild that all the examples can be passed with an incorrect
cdv
instruction, I didnt read the last part properly and assumed it was C /= operand. :(
