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.

docs/ and README.md carry 85 fenced blocks. Every one was checked by hand
exactly once, when it was written, which is not a standard that survives a
changing interpreter -- and four were already wrong: two transcripts showing a
leading space PRINT does not emit, akbasic_TextSink in README.md missing the
two members it had grown hours earlier, and FILTER's refusal quoted with
wording the code does not use.
tests/docs_examples.sh reads a fence-tag vocabulary and runs what it finds.
BASIC programs and transcripts run and are byte-compared against an `output`
block; C snippets compile with -fsyntax-only against the real include path,
which CMake writes out because it is transitive through akerror, akstdlib and
akgl; shell blocks run in a sandbox. Anything that would reconfigure the build
tree, hit the network or re-enter the suite is tagged norun with the reason in
MAINTENANCE.md, and the two cmake blocks stay hand-maintained by decision.
An untagged block is a failure rather than a default, and the pass line
reports what it executed by kind. Both exist because the way a harness like
this dies is by quietly matching nothing and passing -- which it duly did on
the first CTest run, where a generator expression evaluating to nothing still
contributed an empty argument that the script read as a filename. The count is
what caught it.
The excerpt check earns its own mention: a block tagged
`c excerpt=include/akbasic/sink.h` must still appear in that header, comments
and whitespace ignored. Compiling it would only redefine the type, so a
compile check could not have found the stale struct, and did not.
Registered as the CTest case docs_examples in both configurations. Fixing the
four wrong examples turned up two interpreter defects, fixed in the previous
commit and recorded in TODO.md section 8.
MAINTENANCE.md is new: the fence-tag reference, what to do when the case
fails, and the conventions that until now only existed inside source comments
-- the three test lists and how two of them invert "passed", the sorted verb
table, that a golden file is never edited to suit this interpreter, and that a
fix gets mutation-checked with a file copy rather than git checkout.
