AGENTS.md described style in one paragraph that said little more than
"follow the surrounding code", which was not actionable once files had
drifted apart. Replace it with an explicit specification.
The canonical style is Emacs cc-mode "stroustrup" with tabs enabled: a
4-column offset with 8-column tabs, so depth 1 is four spaces, depth 2 is
one tab, depth 3 is a tab plus four spaces. Most of src/ already followed
this; what looked like randomly mixed tabs and spaces was simply cc-mode
output. Document the byte ladder explicitly, since editors that expand
tabs or assume a 4-column tab silently corrupt it.
Rules beyond indentation are derived from counted majorities in the
existing code rather than invented: errctx over e (92 to 45), padded
control parens (140 to 7), pointer binding to the identifier (486 to 5),
and always-brace (only four unbraced bodies exist). Brace and else
placement are called out as house conventions that cc-mode does not
enforce, so "run the indenter" and "follow the guide" cannot conflict.
Also record the naming, error-handling, and API-surface rules that a
consistency sweep showed were being broken silently -- in particular that
a *_RETURN macro inside an ATTEMPT block skips CLEANUP.
Add the tooling to apply it:
.dir-locals.el applies the style to every c-mode buffer
scripts/reindent.el batch reindent via Emacs
scripts/reindent.sh reindent or --check the tree
scripts/hooks/pre-commit reindents staged sources
reindent.el deliberately avoids Emacs' tabify: its tabify-regexp is
" [ \t]+", which is not anchored to the start of a line, so it rewrites
runs of spaces anywhere and destroys the hand-aligned value columns in
the bit-flag tables in actor.h and iterator.h. Only leading whitespace is
ever rewritten, and lines starting inside a string literal are skipped.
The hook checks staged content rather than the working tree, so what is
committed is what was verified. It re-stages a fixed file only when the
index and working tree agree, otherwise a partial `git add -p` would
sweep unstaged work into the commit.

Port the scratch-copy mutation runner used by libakerror and libakstdlib, covering libakgl source files with sampling, thresholds, JUnit reports, and test timeouts. Add a CMake target and documentation, preserve the intentionally failing character test exclusion, and migrate the sprite test to the renderer backend so mutation baselines are green.
