Three more Haiku-class cold reads of the chapters, each against the
amended text. What each surfaced is now shown rather than described: the
akbasic_host_register_type()/akbasic_host_bind() boot calls, the
declare_play() label listing, the akgl_UiMenu static and its
handle_event signature, one control-handler pair, and main()'s
ATTEMPT/HANDLE_DEFAULT/FINISH_NORETURN shape with the CATCH-inside-
ATTEMPT rule stated. By the fourth read the generated player.c and
enemies.c compiled untouched and every remaining guess was a tuning
value the chapters deliberately leave open.

The interop test now ends with a measured comparison: 24,000 formation
updates through the script boundary against a line-for-line C
translation of the same state machine. 881 us against 0.01 us per call
on this machine, quoted verbatim in the new chapter 21 Step 11 with the
architectural decisions it prices.
A Haiku-class cold read of the chapters produced a build whose failures
were all mechanical -- invented include paths, never-shown sink statics,
guessed status codes and character names. The chapters now carry the
include lists, the script.c statics, the status-code roster, the
sprite/character table, the full CMake recipe and the explosion spawn's
HANDLE example, so none of those have to be guessed again.

docs/20 builds the engine and the boundary: the startup order, the
starfield, actors and collision, booting a DEF-only script, the issue #8
mode workaround, the custom update hook, first light, screens, and the
headless harness. docs/21 builds the three shared structures and the AI:
the host type tables, the actor binding, the randomness route around
issue #16, the measured case against structure arguments (issue #36),
the three language rules that shape the script, the maneuvers, the
argued formation decision, the script-death policy, and the interop
proof. Every fenced block runs under tests/docs_examples.sh in both
build configurations; five new preludes carry the C fragments.
docs/10 gains the 'Calling a function every frame' section the chapters
lean on: the per-call akbasic_environment_zero() rule, the set_mode(RUN)
workaround, the clear_error() revival, and the case for rebinding over
structure arguments. Index rows and chapter counts updated.
