5061419768 Take libakgl 0.9.0, and shadow set_property(TEST) so it configures
0.9.0 is the akgl_ui subsystem: a vendored clay, an arena, menus, HUDs and
dialogs, reached through a new akgl/ui.h this project does not include. Every
header the akbasic_akgl target actually compiles against is byte-identical to
0.8.0, so unlike the 0.8.0 bump there is no sizeof to get wrong. The floor in
include/akbasic/akgl.h moves to 0.9.0 anyway, on the standing rule that the
soname carries MAJOR.MINOR while the major is 0.

It does not configure as it stands. 0.9.0 moved eight test property calls off
set_tests_properties -- correctly, because that command splits a
semicolon-separated value and had been silently reducing its LD_LIBRARY_PATH
prepend list to one directory -- onto set_property(TEST ...). This repository
suppresses add_test() while it pulls its dependencies in, so those test names do
not exist, and set_property errors on an unknown test name where
set_tests_properties was silent: eight hard configure failures. Shadow
set_property in its TEST form only; every other form has to pass through, since
the dependencies set target and directory properties their own builds need.

libakgl's status band grew to seven codes with AKGL_ERR_UI and it now owns 256
to 262, so the coordinated range map, docs/15-error-codes.md and both header
comments follow. TODO.md section 5's persistent-drawing-layer item still stands:
0.9.0's arena draws inside the frame like everything else, and there is still no
render-to-texture layer.

Both configurations build and both suites pass -- 110/110 without libakgl,
111/111 with it, akgl_typing included.

240e0dd141 Take libakgl 0.8.0, and correct the status range it grew
The pin moves e4aa6a5 -> 149bee0, which is libakgl 0.8.0. Nothing in this
repository changed to accommodate it: both suites pass unmodified, 110 without
akgl and 111 with, and both breakout games run forty seconds headless with no
error line.

**0.8.0 is a whole collision subsystem** -- shapes, pooled proxies, a pluggable
broad phase over a uniform grid, a narrowphase answering with a contact carrying
a normal and a depth, world box queries, and static proxies for geometry that is
not an actor. None of it is called from here yet. This commit is the pull and
nothing else, so that if it has to come out it is one revert of one commit.

**It adds two submodules of its own**, `deps/libccd` and `deps/tg`, so a tree
that updates without `--recursive` configures and then fails compiling libccd.
libakgl's own suite was built and run standalone at RelWithDebInfo before
akbasic was pointed at it: 33/33.

`libakstdlib` and `libakerror` did not move. MAINTENANCE.md requires checking,
and the answer this time is that libakgl 0.8.0 pins exactly what this repository
already pins -- 669b2b3 and 5eaa956 -- so the pairing rule is satisfied without a
bump. Recorded because "we checked and it was already aligned" and "we forgot to
check" look identical in a diff.

**The version floor moves to 0.8.0** with its paragraph, following the
convention in that header of saying what each minor release did and why the
floor moved anyway. Worth knowing for whoever reads it next: `akgl_Actor` grew
fields, so a translation unit compiled against a 0.7 `actor.h` and linked
against 0.8 writes `renderfunc` and `actorData` at the wrong offsets -- and
`src/sprite_akgl.c` writes exactly those two. That is the case the soname cannot
catch and the guard exists for.

**libakgl's reserved status band grew from five codes to six**, gaining
`AKGL_ERR_COLLISION` at `AKGL_ERR_BASE + 5`, so it now owns 256-261 and the
headroom below akbasic's band starts at 262. Four documents said otherwise: the
coordinated range map in MAINTENANCE.md, the comment above the enum in
`include/akbasic/error.h`, the file header of `include/akbasic/akgl.h`, and
chapter 15. That map is the only coordination there is -- nothing enforces a
band boundary at compile time, and the first anybody would know of an overlap is
a status printing under the wrong owner's name in a stack trace.

Also cleaned on the way past: `deps/libakgl/deps/libakstdlib` was showing dirty
in `git status`. It had no local edits -- the checkout was simply one commit
behind the gitlink libakgl records -- so `git submodule update` restored it and
nothing was lost.

a583fb4b77 Take libakerror 2.0.1, and guard the exit status it fixes
2.0.0 makes the error pool and the status registry thread safe, and it is an ABI
break carrying the soname to libakerror.so.2. The break is a quiet one:
__akerr_last_ignored became thread-local and akerr_next_error() now returns a
context that already holds a reference, so objects compiled against a 1.x header
and linked against 2.x count every reference twice and never give a slot back.
Nothing about that fails to link, which is exactly what a guard is for --
include/akbasic/error.h feature-tests AKERR_THREAD_SAFE instead of
AKERR_FIRST_CONSUMER_STATUS, which 2.0.0 also still defines and which therefore
no longer distinguishes anything.

2.0.1 is the release this band needed most. The default unhandled-error handler
ended in exit(errctx->status), and a process exit status is one byte:
AKBASIC_ERR_BASE is 512, and 512 truncates to 0, so an unhandled
AKBASIC_ERR_SYNTAX reported success to anything watching $?. Every other code in
the band came out as some unrelated error's number. akerr_exit() substitutes 125
for anything a byte cannot carry, and a probe raising AKBASIC_ERR_DEVICE through
FINISH_NORETURN now exits 125 rather than 7.

It was latent here rather than live -- src/main.c handles the context and returns
EXIT_FAILURE, and every test with a top-level ATTEMPT carries a HANDLE_DEFAULT --
but "no caller relies on it today" is not a property a header can keep true.
tests/version_check.c asserts the mapping and fails if AKBASIC_ERR_BASE ever
stops truncating to zero, because that is the day this stops being about our base.

Chapter 10 gains a threading section: libakerror is safe from any thread now, and
this interpreter is not and has no lock anywhere in it.

7c8c98fc8c Split the documentation by who reads it
README.md was 577 lines and answered four different questions at once: what
the project is, how to build it, every verb and function in the language, and
how to maintain the test harness. The verb and function lists had already been
written a second time in docs/11 and docs/12, which is how a list of that size
goes stale -- there is no way to notice the two have drifted apart.

README.md is now 150 lines and holds only what somebody evaluating the project
needs: what it is, the quickstart, why it was rewritten in C, the five rules
embedding imposes on the design, the two ways to use it, and where everything
else lives. Technical detail goes to docs/, maintenance to MAINTENANCE.md.

The akbasic_TextSink struct moved to docs/10-embedding.md rather than being
deleted. It was the corpus's only `c excerpt=` block -- the check that caught
the stale struct two commits ago -- so dropping it with the README would have
quietly retired a test. docs/10 also stopped claiming README.md carries the
full API surface and the pool limits, which the trim made false.

CLAUDE.md went from 458 lines to 62, because almost none of it was
agent-specific. The project goals, the Go reference and its architecture, the
dependency version and ABI rules, the four ways an embedded build collides,
the libakerror convention, the error-code range map and the style rules are
all things a maintainer needs, and they are now in MAINTENANCE.md with one
copy to keep true. CLAUDE.md points there and keeps only the rules no test
enforces: tests in the same commit asserting the correct contract, file a
missing dependency capability upstream, do not edit generated output or
tests/reference/, co-author your commits.

Four claims did not survive the move, having gone stale where nothing could
notice:

  - "The repository is currently empty apart from its submodules -- no
    commits, no source tree, no build files." There are 43 commits.
  - libakgl's target_compile_definitions(akerror PUBLIC AKERR_MAX_ERR_VALUE)
    at deps/libakgl/CMakeLists.txt:44, described as inert but present. It is
    gone; only a historical mention in a comment remains.
  - "akbasic_init() claims 512-767." There is no akbasic_init. It is
    akbasic_error_register(), called from akbasic_runtime_init().
  - Time-relative phrasing ("libakgl hit two of them in the last week").

Five places pointed at CLAUDE.md for the range map or the file-it-upstream
rule and now point at MAINTENANCE.md: include/akbasic/error.h,
src/runtime_disk.c and three entries in TODO.md. Both source changes are
comments. deps/libakgl/TODO.md cites it too and is left alone; it is a
submodule, and the rule it quotes is still reachable from CLAUDE.md.

ctest is green at 95 of 95, docs_examples included: 36 programs, 9
transcripts, 44 output comparisons, 3 C snippets, 1 excerpt.

f269a97c06 Reach hardware through backend records, and take the time from the host
Groups G, I and E are unblocked but cannot be written yet: the core library is
free of SDL and builds with no libakgl present, so a graphics verb cannot call
akgl_draw_* and a sound verb cannot call akgl_audio_*. This adds what they call
instead.

Three records of function pointers -- akbasic_GraphicsBackend, _AudioBackend and
_InputBackend -- in the same shape as akbasic_TextSink, and the same shape
libakgl uses for akgl_RenderBackend. akbasic_runtime_set_devices() attaches any
subset; all three may be NULL and that is the standalone driver's normal state,
so a runtime with no backends still comes up and still prints. A verb that needs
one it was not given raises the new AKBASIC_ERR_DEVICE rather than dereferencing
a NULL vtable.

Two decisions worth stating. The graphics record has no circle entry point:
BASIC 7.0's CIRCLE takes two radii, an arc range, a rotation and a degree
increment, which makes it a polygon by definition, so it will be built from line
calls rather than from akgl_draw_circle. And coordinates are double rather than
an integer pixel address, because SCALE makes them fractional and rounding at
each verb rather than once at the backend accumulates drift along a polyline.

akbasic_runtime_settime() is how SOUND, PLAY and TEMPO get a clock without the
library reading one. Section 1.6 forbids blocking or owning a loop, so the caller
that owns the frame owns the time -- which is what libakgl already does, since
akgl_actor_logic_changeframe takes curtimems as an argument. Left unset it is
zero and every duration expires immediately: audible, but never a hang.

AKBASIC_ERR_LAST is a sentinel rather than a status, so tests/error_codes.c walks
every code looking for an unnamed one without anybody remembering to widen the
loop when a code is added.

tests/mockdevice.h records every backend call as a formatted line. The graphics
and audio verbs emit nothing a golden file can compare, so that log is where
their assertions have to live -- and since it needs no SDL, the whole of groups
G, I and E stays testable in the default build.

62/62 ctest, clean under -Wall -Wextra, doxygen clean.

4e188b2794 Port the BASIC interpreter from Go to C
Reproduces deps/basicinterpret in C, in the idiom of the ak* libraries. All 41
.bas files in the reference's corpus produce byte-identical stdout, including
the trailing double newline on an error line -- that comes from basicError
building a string ending in \n and handing it to Println, and
array_outofbounds.txt encodes it.

The corpus is driven in place from the submodule as 41 individual CTest cases
rather than copied, so it cannot drift from upstream. Eighteen unit tests cover
what the corpus cannot reach.

Three structural changes carry most of the work. Go's three reflection lookups
(Command*, Function*, ParseCommand*) become one sorted dispatch table in
src/verbs.c searched with bsearch; adding a verb is a row and two functions. The
five Go maps become one fixed open-addressed table over aksl_strhash_djb2. And
run(), which owned the process until MODE_QUIT, splits into step() plus a
bounded run() -- goal 3 requires a host game to be able to bound execution, and
nothing in the library now terminates the process or touches SDL.

Output goes through an akbasic_TextSink vtable. src/sink_stdio.c is what makes
the corpus runnable with no SDL present; the akgl-backed sink is still to come
and is blocked on libakgl having no text-measurement call.

src/convert.c exists because libakstdlib's aksl_ato* family cannot report a
conversion failure (its TODO.md 2.1.5). The reference checks strconv's error at
four sites and turns it into a BASIC error; routing those through aksl_atoi
would have turned four diagnosable errors into wrong answers, with VAL("garbage")
quietly returning 0. TODO.md 1.9 records which libakstdlib calls are cleared for
use here and which are not.

Reference defects are reproduced, not fixed: the golden files encode the observed
behaviour and a silent correction is a behaviour change. TODO.md section 6 lists
sixteen, and tests/known_reference_defects.c asserts the *correct* contract for
six of them under AKBASIC_KNOWN_FAILING_TESTS, so a fix shows up as
"unexpectedly passed". Five of the sixteen were found by this port and are new:
subtraction stops after one operator so 1-2-3 computes 1-2 and abandons the rest
of the line (a wrong answer, not a refused one); a unary-minus argument inflates
a function's arity so ABS(-9) is rejected; a comparison operator in a line's
final column is dropped; hex literals never survive the scanner; and the
"Reserved word in variable name" check is dead code.

Where the reference reaches undefined behaviour by a route that is defined in Go
-- an out-of-range shift, a negative string multiplier, integer division by zero
-- this raises instead of inheriting the UB. No golden case exercises any of
them.

The top-level CMakeLists shadows add_test, set_tests_properties and
add_custom_target around all three add_subdirectory calls. Without it libakerror's
tests land in our suite as Not Run, and its un-namespaced `coverage` target stops
a coverage build from configuring at all. Test targets are akbasic_test_<name>:
bare test_<name> collides with libakstdlib's, which is what broke libakgl's
configure in c2b16d3.

ctest 59/59; ASan+UBSan 59/59; 92.3% line and 96.9% function coverage; no
warnings under -Wall -Wextra. Branch coverage is not a target, for the reason
libakstdlib and libakgl both record: the akerror macros expand into large branch
trees at every call site.
