New "The plan" subsection under Performance in TODO.md: nine entries in
blast-radius order. Six are next (string-pool free list, text texture ring
cache, non-raising sprite lookup, hot-path log demotion, the tileset scan
fix with its two latent draw bugs, the draw_world layer loop); three are on
record but unscheduled (uniform-grid broad phase behind target 12, the
realistic map fixture for target 13, the footprint refactor for 14 and 15).

e4aa6a5084 Take libakerror 2.0.1 and drop the workaround it makes obsolete
Some checks failed

Every libakgl test suite could report success while failing. libakerror's
default unhandled-error handler ended in exit(errctx->status), an exit
status is one byte wide, and libakgl's band starts at 256 -- so
AKGL_ERR_SDL, the most common failure a library built on SDL can have,
exited 0 and CTest recorded a pass. tests/character.c aborted at its
second of four tests on a bad renderer and was green for months.

0.5.0 worked around that here with TEST_TRAP_UNHANDLED_ERRORS() in
tests/testutil.h, and TODO.md ended the entry saying any consumer's
suites have the same problem and it was worth raising upstream. It was.
2.0.1 fixes it at the source: akerr_exit() owns the mapping and the
default handler calls it, so 0 exits 0, 1 through 255 exit themselves,
and anything else exits AKERR_EXIT_STATUS_UNREPRESENTABLE (125). The
trap and its 21 call sites are gone.

Verified by putting the original failure back rather than by reading the
release notes: a FAIL_BREAK(AKGL_ERR_SDL) in tests/character.c's main
exits 125 and CTest reports a failure. A standalone consumer raising the
same status unhandled exits 125 where it exited 0 before.

tests/actor.c installs its own handler and called exit(errctx->status)
from it, which is the same defect one layer up. It calls akerr_exit()
now.

2.0.0 also makes the error pool and the status registry thread safe,
which libakgl needs more than it knew: audio_stream_callback raises
error contexts on SDL's audio thread. With an unlocked pool that
callback and the main thread could scan AKERR_ARRAY_ERROR at the same
time and be handed the same slot. The comment there says so.

This is a hard dependency floor, not a preference. 2.0.0 moved
__akerr_last_ignored to thread-local storage and made akerr_next_error()
return a context that already holds its reference, and both expand at
libakgl's call sites -- and at a consumer's, because akerror.h is part
of libakgl's public interface. Mixing headers and libraries across that
line double-counts every reference and never returns a pool slot. The
soname moved to libakerror.so.2; include/akgl/error.h now also feature-
tests AKERR_EXIT_STATUS_UNREPRESENTABLE, which is the narrowest probe
for 2.0.1 since libakerror publishes no version macro.

0.7.0 for that reason: libakgl's own ABI is unchanged, but the one it
re-exports through its headers is not.

TODO.md records the pkg-config gap this makes sharper -- akgl.pc names
no dependencies at all, so nothing tells a pkg-config consumer which
libakerror it needs.

Clean build, 26/26 ctest, memcheck clean, warning-clean at -Wall
-Werror. libakgl.so.0.7 links libakerror.so.2.

1b90f2ebd5 Report the failures libakstdlib's wrappers were already catching
Updates deps/libakstdlib to 669b2b3. That commit is a TODO entry rather
than new code, so the interesting part is what libakgl was not yet
calling: it links libakstdlib and uses ten of its wrappers while calling
the raw libc function at a good many more sites. Four of those were
carrying a real defect.

akgl_game_save checked every write and threw away the close. Every write
goes through aksl_fwrite, and for a record this size all of them land in
stdio's buffer -- nothing reaches the device until the close flushes it,
so a full disk, an exceeded quota or an NFS server going away is
reported only there. The function returned success over a savegame that
was never written. aksl_fclose surfaces it. tests/game.c reaches the
path through /dev/full, which accepts writes and fails at the flush;
against the unfixed code the test reports "expected a failure, got
success" with ENOSPC.

The close has to drop the FILE * before the status is examined, because
fclose(3) disassociates the stream either way and CLEANUP would close it
again. Written the other way round it aborted in glibc with "double free
detected in tcache" the first time a close actually failed, which is how
that ordering was found.

akgl_game_load's end-of-file check used fgetc(3), which spells "end of
file" and "the read failed" with the same EOF -- a disk error there read
as a clean end and passed the check it was meant to fail. aksl_fgetc
tells them apart. Extracted to require_at_eof, because inverting the
sense of a call inline needs a nested ATTEMPT whose break binds to the
wrong switch.

Two snprintf sites were truncating under a silenced
-Wformat-truncation. The compiler was right about both. The tileset one
handed the shortened path to IMG_LoadTexture, so a length error was
reported as a missing file, with SDL naming a path the caller never
wrote. Both use aksl_snprintf now and the suppression is gone; nothing
in the tree uses those macros any more. tests/tilemap.c covers the join,
and against the unfixed code it gets AKGL_ERR_SDL where it wants
AKERR_OUTOFBOUNDS.

The two src/game.c strncpy sites the fixed-width copy sweep missed --
the savegame name field and the libversion stamp -- use aksl_strncpy and
sizeof rather than a repeated 32.

Also makes tests/physics_sim.c deterministic. It placed gravity_time at
"now - dt" and let the real clock supply the step, so a machine busy
enough to deschedule the process between that store and the
SDL_GetTicksNS() inside simulate got a longer step. It went red once,
under a parallel ctest. It now sets max_timestep to the step it wants
and gravity_time to zero, so the bound supplies the step and the
scheduler cannot reach it.

TODO.md records what is deliberately not adopted: the pure-arithmetic
wrappers, which can only fail on NULL and which the tree already spells
two ways, and the collections, which the registries do not want because
SDL owns the property-set lifetime. AGENTS.md has the rule and the
fclose ordering trap.

26/26 ctest, memcheck clean, warning-clean at -Wall -Werror.

147ab7dc78 Fix three arcade physics defects the unit tests could not see
tests/physics_sim.c runs the arcade backend the way a game does -- a
Mario-esque jump and fall, Zelda-style top-down walking, and a run
reversed at full speed -- and prints what the actor actually did.
tests/physics.c already checked that akgl_physics_simulate does the
arithmetic it claims. Every one of these got past it.

The first step was however long the level took to load. gravity_time was
never initialized and dt was unbounded, so a 250 ms load produced a
250 ms step: 100 px of fall where a 60 Hz frame under the same gravity
is 0.44 px, straight through whatever was underneath. Both initializers
seed the clock, and simulate bounds dt to max_timestep -- a new
physics.max_timestep property, default 0.05 s, read like gravity and
drag. Zero disables the bound. The field replaces the dead timer_gravity,
so the struct is the same size.

Releasing a vertical key cancelled gravity. The _off handlers zeroed ay,
ey, ty and vy together, and ey is where the arcade backend accumulates
gravity -- tapping down mid-jump stopped the character in the air. They
clear ax/tx (or ay/ty) and nothing else now. Velocity was never theirs
to clear either: simulate recomputes v as e + t every step.

Diagonal movement was 41% too fast. Thrust was capped per axis, so an
actor holding two directions got both caps at once and travelled their
diagonal. It is capped as a vector against the sx/sy/sz ellipse, which
also keeps a character whose horizontal and vertical top speeds differ
moving at the ratio it asked for. An axis with a zero max speed stays
out of the magnitude and is forced to zero, as the old clamp did.

Each fix was checked by reverting it and confirming the simulation goes
red: 100.1 px, vy 0.0 after a down tap, and 141% diagonal respectively.
tests/actor.c and tests/physics.c pinned the old behaviour in both
places and now assert the new contract.

Bumped to 0.6.0: akgl_PhysicsBackend changed. TODO.md records the four
things the simulations found and this does not fix -- no terminal
velocity, no deceleration on release, Euler's frame-rate dependence, and
a drag coefficient large enough to invert velocity.

26/26 ctest, memcheck clean, warning-clean at -Wall -Werror.

4d80664cd9 Build clean under -Wall, with -Werror in CI only
TODO.md item 37 said the cast sweep buys nothing until the build turns on the
warnings those casts suppress. This is that precondition, and the argument
turned out to be right with evidence: -Wall found three genuine signedness
mismatches in sprite.c, where uint32_t width, height and speed were passed
straight to akgl_get_json_integer_value(..., int *). A cast would have silenced
all three. Fixing them properly also turned up that speed is scaled by a million
into a 32-bit field, so anything past 4294 ms overflowed rather than being held.

The other real finding was ten -Wstringop-truncation warnings, every one a
fixed-width strncpy. Those leave a name field unterminated when the input fills
it -- and those fields are registry keys, handed to strcmp and SDL property
calls that do not stop at the field. Same overread class fixed twice already
this release. All ten now use aksl_strncpy from akstdlib, which always
terminates and never NUL-pads, bounded to size - 1 so an over-long name still
truncates rather than being refused. staticstring.h documented the old strncpy
semantics explicitly and has been rewritten to match.

Two sites in game.c are deliberately left on strncpy: both stage into a
pre-zeroed buffer for the savegame's fixed-width fields, where the NUL padding
is part of the format. Neither is flagged.

sprite.c also had a memcpy of a full 128-byte field from a NUL-terminated
string, which reads past the end of any shorter name. Not flagged by anything;
found while converting its neighbours.

-Werror is an option, default OFF, on only in the cmake_build and performance CI
jobs. libakgl is consumed with add_subdirectory -- akbasic does exactly that --
so a target-level -Werror turns every diagnostic a newer compiler invents into a
broken build for somebody else. The warning set is not even stable across build
types here: an -O2 build reports ten warnings that -O0 and -fsyntax-only do not,
because they need the middle end. The two jobs that set it are one of each.

-Wextra is deliberately not adopted. It adds 22 findings, 17 inherent to the
design: 13 -Wunused-parameter from backend vtables and SDL callbacks that must
match a signature, and 4 -Wimplicit-fallthrough from libakerror's own
PROCESS/HANDLE/HANDLE_GROUP, which fall through by design. Filed upstream as
deps/libakerror TODO item 8; the submodule bump carries it.

deps/semver/semver.c is listed directly in add_library, so the target's PRIVATE
options reach it. Exempted with -w so a future semver update cannot fail this
build -- verified by forcing -Wextra -Werror and watching our files fail while
semver compiled clean.

Verified: RelWithDebInfo, Debug and coverage builds all clean under -Werror;
-Werror actually fails on a planted unused variable; an embedded consumer with
AKGL_WERROR unset still configures and builds. 25/25 pass, memcheck clean,
reindent --check, check_api_surface and check_error_protocol clean.

b899f09fc8 Note that defect 26 is fixed under the per-axis scale item
Some checks failed
libakgl CI Build / cmake_build (push) Failing after 20s
libakgl CI Build / performance (push) Failing after 18s
libakgl CI Build / memory_check (push) Failing after 14s
libakgl CI Build / mutation_test (push) Failing after 16s
Upstream filed the per-axis scale item while the drawn-height-from-width bug
was still open, and recorded akbasic working around both together. That half is
fixed, so a non-square sprite now draws at its own proportions through the
library's own renderfunc. The uniform-scale half stands.

58b99e0477 Drop the savegame name-width aliases
They were four #defines, one per table, each expanding to exactly one existing
constant and used exactly once per side. That is indirection with no second
consumer, and this repository's own rule is to abstract when the second
consumer is real and not before.

The reasoning behind them does not survive contact either. They were meant to
let the on-disk format's field widths diverge from the object model's -- but
raising AKGL_ACTOR_MAX_NAME_LENGTH is an ABI change, which bumps the version,
and akgl_game_load refuses a save whose libversion does not match before it
reads a single name table. The divergence they anticipated cannot happen
quietly.

The reader now names the same constant the writer does, per table, which is all
the fix ever needed to be. What actually catches a disagreement is the EOF
check at the end of akgl_game_load, and that works however the widths are
spelled: reverting the spritesheet reader to the wrong constant still fails the
roundtrip test with AKERR_IO.

25/25 pass, reindent --check clean.

28fa929f6a Make savegames, optional array elements, empty text and coverage work
Closes Known-and-still-open items 7 and 13, and Defects items 18, 25 and 27.

The savegame name tables carry no length prefix, so writer and reader have to
agree on a field width exactly. The writer used each object's own maximum name
length -- 512 for a spritesheet, a filename -- and the reader used
AKGL_ACTOR_MAX_NAME_LENGTH for all four. Four AKGL_GAME_SAVE_*_NAME_WIDTH
constants drive both sides now.

The failure turned out to be worse than "cannot be read back": a reader
stepping the wrong width does not run off anything, it finds a run of zeros
inside an entry, stops early, and reports success with silently wrong maps. A
test asserting only that the load succeeded passed against the broken reader.
So akgl_game_load checks it is at EOF once the tables are read, which turns a
width disagreement into AKERR_IO instead of a corruption. That is the assertion
the new roundtrip test -- the first with all four registries populated -- hangs
on.

akgl_get_json_with_default gains a third HANDLE_GROUP for AKERR_OUTOFBOUNDS,
which is what the array index accessors report, so "this element is optional"
works for an array element and not only for an object member. The arm goes
above the one holding the memcpy: HANDLE_GROUP emits no break and every arm
falls into that body.

That test needed a second attempt. with_default returns *the context it was
given* when it does not handle the status, so TEST_EXPECT_OK -- which releases
whatever the statement returns -- double-released it against a CLEANUP block
that released it too, and a double-released context corrupts the failure rather
than reporting it. The first draft passed against the unfixed library.

akgl_text_rendertextat returns success without rasterizing for the empty
string, matching akgl_text_measure, which has always accepted it. The check
sits after the font and backend guards, so drawing nothing still refuses what
drawing something refuses. tests/text.c had this case written and unasserted
waiting for the two halves of the header to agree.

character_load_json_state_int_from_strings guards dest rather than testing
states twice. Not asserted: the function is static with one call site that
passes a real pointer, so the guard cannot fire, and reaching it from a test
would mean giving it external linkage purely for that.

Both gcovr invocations take the build tree as an explicit positional search
path. gcovr searches --root when given none, which is the source directory,
where build trees live; --object-directory does not narrow it. Verified by
building two instrumented trees with a source edit between them: the old
invocation fails with "Got function write_exact on multiple lines: 46, 48" and
exits 64, the new one exits 0 and the full coverage run passes with the stale
tree still present.

25/25 pass, reindent --check, check_api_surface and check_error_protocol clean.

947bc03601 Re-verdict performance targets 16 and 17
Both cited defects that are fixed. 17 is met outright; 16 is qualified, because
the tilemap cycle is the one that was leaking and the one now asserted, and
nothing yet asserts the same of a sprite, spritesheet or character cycle -- a
gap in the tests rather than a known leak.

d9f0187ecf Stop a failed controller-DB fetch from destroying the tracked fallback
Closes Defects -> Known and still open item 12, both halves.

include/akgl/SDL_GameControllerDB.h is tracked on purpose: it is the offline
fallback that keeps the library buildable when upstream is unreachable. The
script that writes it had no set -e and never checked curl, so a failed fetch
wrote AKGL_SDL_GAMECONTROLLER_DB_LEN 0 and an empty array over the good copy
and exited 0. The safety net destroyed itself, and because CMake re-ran the
generator on every build, an offline build was enough to do it.

The script now runs under set -euo pipefail, fetches into a temporary
directory, and moves the result into place only after checking curl's exit
status (with --fail, so an HTTP error is a status rather than an error page in
the body), a plausible minimum mapping count, and that no mapping carries a
quote or backslash that would break the C string literal it becomes. Any of
those failing leaves the tracked header exactly as it was and exits non-zero.

Verified against all five failure modes -- unresolvable host, 404, truncated
response, empty-but-successful response (the original failure exactly), and a
response containing a quote. Each refuses, and the header's checksum is
unchanged after every one. AKGL_CONTROLLERDB_URL and
AKGL_CONTROLLERDB_MIN_LINES are environment-overridable, which is how.

The build no longer runs it at all. The add_custom_command declared a relative
OUTPUT, which CMake resolves against the binary directory while the script
writes to the source directory, so the declared output never appeared and every
build re-ran the command -- needing network access and leaving the tree dirty.
It is an explicit `controllerdb` target now, and the header is no longer listed
as a library source, which is all it was there for.

The empty-initializer problem goes with it: an empty array initializer is a
constraint violation in ISO C that compiles only as a GCC extension, and the
minimum-count check guarantees at least one entry.

Also here, because it rested on a premise that turned out to be false: the
character suite is no longer excluded from CI's coverage and memory-check jobs,
nor from the mutation harness by default. It was excluded on the grounds that
it failed deliberately. It did not -- it was reporting success while running
one of its four tests.

25/25 pass, memcheck clean, shellcheck clean.

913834a3af Draw actors at their sprite's height, and update each one once a frame
Closes Defects item 26 and Performance item 32.

akgl_actor_render set dest.h from curSprite->width, so every actor was drawn
square and a non-square sprite was stretched or squashed. Invisible in the
fixtures because they are all square, so tests/actor.c gets a 48x24 sprite and
a render backend whose draw_texture records the rectangle it is handed instead
of drawing it. That recording backend is the first coverage akgl_actor_render
has had at all -- every other test in the file stubs renderfunc out.

akgl_game_update looped over AKGL_TILEMAP_MAX_LAYERS with the actor sweep
nested inside it and never compared an actor's layer to the layer it was on, so
every live actor's updatefunc ran sixteen times a frame. The sweep is hoisted
out: updating an actor is not a per-layer operation, and
akgl_render_2d_draw_world already walks the layers for the half that is.
AKGL_ITERATOR_OP_LAYERMASK is honoured rather than ignored now, so a caller who
wants one layer can still ask, and gets each of those actors once.

Counting is the assertion, deliberately. The defect was invisible in the frame
total because the tilemap blits are three orders of magnitude larger, so a
timing test would have measured the rasterizer. tests/game.c counts calls into
a stub updatefunc and reports 16 against the old code.

PERFORMANCE.md records the timing side as what it honestly is: the gap between
the akgl_game_update and draw_world rows of the same run, 92 us before and
noise in both directions after. The absolute table is not re-taken -- a later
run on this machine read every row about 15% high, including rows nothing has
touched.

25/25 pass, reindent --check clean.

The edits were lost the same way each time. The scripts that made them built
the whole file in memory and wrote it once at the end, so an assertion failure
partway through -- on an entry whose text had already been reworded -- threw
away that script's earlier, correct replacements along with the failed one.

9c2f80bcb9 Give back every pooled string and sprite reference the loaders take
Closes Defects items 20, 22, 23 and 29, and the residual of item 38.

The tilemap load leak was five pooled strings per load; the property-lookup
fix in an earlier commit took it to two, and the last two were each a claim
with no matching release -- the string every layer's `type` was read into, and
the dirname the map's relative paths resolve against. tests/tilemap.c asserts
the pool is exactly where it started after one load/release cycle and after 64.

Finding those two was a matter of dumping the contents of every still-claimed
slot after a cycle rather than reading the code again; 'tilelayer' and an
assets directory named themselves immediately.

Same file, same class, fixed with it: akgl_tilemap_load_layer_objects released
its scratch string after reading each object's name and then kept using the
slot, because akgl_get_json_string_value reuses a non-NULL destination without
taking another reference. The slot was free while still live, so any other
claim could have been handed it.

akgl_character_sprite_add wrote over an existing binding without releasing the
sprite it displaced, so a character that rebinds a state while alive leaked a
sprite slot per rebind -- teardown only gives back what the map holds at the
end. The new reference is taken before the write and given back if the write
fails, so there is no window where a sprite is bound with nothing behind it.
The write was unchecked too.

Three failure-path leaks moved into CLEANUP blocks: akgl_render_2d_init's two
pooled strings, akgl_controller_open_gamepads' enumeration array, and
akgl_text_rendertextat's surface and texture -- the last being a leak per frame
on a HUD line.

akgl_text_unloadallfonts() closes every font in the registry and destroys it,
which is what item 38 left open. Deliberately not a whole akgl_game_shutdown:
tearing down the mixer, SDL_ttf and SDL in the right order is a design
question, and this is the part that was simply missing. It is a new public
symbol, which 0.5.0 already covers -- this release has not shipped.

Every fix has a test that fails against the old code.

25/25 pass, memcheck clean, reindent --check, check_api_surface and
check_error_protocol all clean.

230278d303 Bound every array a data file can index
Closes Defects items 16 and 17 and Known-and-still-open item 6. All three let
an asset file, or a caller's argument, write past a fixed array.

akgl_sprite_load_json took its frame count straight from the document and wrote
that many entries into a 16-byte frameids -- through a uint32_t * cast of a
uint8_t *, so each write touched four bytes and the overrun reached four bytes
past the array, into the rest of akgl_Sprite and then the next pool slot. The
count is checked first now, each id is read into an int and narrowed
deliberately, and a frame number too large for a uint8_t is refused rather than
truncated into an index for a different tile.

The tilemap loader had the same shape twice: objects[j] with no check against
AKGL_TILEMAP_MAX_OBJECTS_PER_LAYER and tilesets[i] with none against
AKGL_TILEMAP_MAX_TILESETS. akgl_tilemap_load_layers already bounded its own
loop, so the pattern was in the same file. The object one is the reachable
half -- 128 objects is not a large object layer.

akgl_string_initialize zeroed sizeof(akgl_String) starting at `data`, which
begins after the refcount in front of it, so it ran four bytes past the end of
the object and onto the *next* slot's refcount -- the field the allocator reads
to decide whether a slot is free. Same file, same class, fixed with it:
akgl_string_copy accepted a count larger than the buffers, reading past one
pool slot and writing past another, which the header documented as behaviour.

Every case has a test that fails against the old code, with five new fixtures.
Exactly-the-maximum is asserted alongside one-past in each, so the bound cannot
be fixed by making the limit off by one.

25/25 pass, memcheck clean, reindent --check clean.

19530f6a97 Fix the type, macro and state-table defects, and the leftover debris
Closes internal-consistency items 19 through 36, 38 and 41. Item 37, the ~180
redundant casts, is deliberately left open with its reasoning in TODO.md: the
benefit only arrives once the build turns on the warnings those casts suppress,
and doing it before that is churn across the two files with the most
outstanding functional defects.

The two that were real bugs are in the actor state table.
AKGL_ACTOR_STATE_STRING_NAMES was declared [AKGL_ACTOR_MAX_STATES+1] and
defined [32], so a consumer trusting the declared bound read past the object;
and indices 11 and 12 were named UNDEFINED_11 and UNDEFINED_12 where actor.h
has MOVING_IN and MOVING_OUT, so no character JSON could bind a sprite to
either state. tests/registry.c now walks the whole table -- every entry
non-NULL, every entry resolving to its own bit, no two entries sharing a name.

The bitmask macros are parenthesized and AKGL_BITMASK_CLEAR has lost the
semicolon inside its body. Writing tests/bitmasks.c for that turned up
something worth knowing: the obvious test does not catch it. For a bit that is
set, the misparse `!(mask & bit) == bit` gives the same answer as the correct
one. It only diverges for an unset bit whose value is not 1, and that is the
shape the suite uses now.

akgl_draw_background was the last public function outside the error protocol.
It takes a backend like everything else in draw.h, restores the draw colour it
found, and is tested -- TODO.md had it filed under "needs the offscreen
renderer harness", which was never true; what it needed was to stop reading the
global.

All eight registry initializers go through one helper, so the seven that leaked
an SDL_PropertiesID on every call after the first no longer do. Fixed in the
same place because it is the same function: akgl_registry_init never called
akgl_registry_init_properties, which made akgl_set_property a silent no-op for
anyone not going through akgl_game_init -- Defects, Known and still open item 3.

Also: AKGL_COLLIDE_RECTANGLES (three open parens, two closes) and akgl_Frame
deleted, float32_t/float64_t used consistently, the developer-specific debug
logging removed from the controller inner loop, the abandoned SDL_GetBasePath
comments removed, nine unused locals removed, and dst renamed to dest.

akgl_game_update's default flags no longer OR the same bit twice. That changes
nothing today, and the reason is Performance item 32: the loop never reads
either bit, which is why every actor is updated sixteen times a frame. Still
open.

25/25 pass, memcheck clean, reindent --check clean.

3a262bee54 Give every exported function a declaration, and check that it stays that way
Closes internal-consistency items 7 through 15. Nineteen non-static functions
were in the ABI with no declaration anywhere, so no consumer could call them
and any consumer could collide with them.

The four gamepad_handle_* functions are the ones that mattered: controller.h
declared akgl_controller_handle_button_down and three siblings that did not
exist, so anything compiled against the header alone failed to link. The
definitions carry the declared names now, which also closes Defects -> Known
and still open item 10, and their documentation moved to the header.

The rest are either declared under a "part of the internal API" block --
akgl_game_save_actors and akgl_game_load_versioncmp, which tests/game.c had to
declare for itself, plus six tilemap loader helpers the untested-loader work
wants to reach -- or static, which is what the four save iterators and
load_objectnamemap should always have been. akgl_path_relative_from is deleted:
declared nowhere, called from nowhere, never wrote its output, and leaked a
pooled string on every call, so it closes Known and still open item 4 and item
40 by ceasing to exist.

scripts/check_api_surface.sh keeps it closed. It reads the built library's
dynamic symbol table and every public header with comments stripped, and fails
on an exported akgl_* symbol that is declared nowhere. Stripping comments is
the whole point -- four of these were mentioned in controller.h prose, which is
how they went unnoticed.

The pool-size ceilings are defined once, in heap.h, so the #ifndef override
hook fires for the first time; actor.h, sprite.h and character.h were defining
the same four unconditionally from headers heap.h includes above its own guard.
tests/header_pool_override.c fails the compile if that regresses.

Also here: (void) rather than () on the twelve no-argument entry points,
AKERR_NOIGNORE only on declarations, static helpers with the akgl_ prefix
dropped, and the six parameter-name mismatches. akgl_get_json_with_default had
its two contexts swapped rather than merely misspelled -- the incoming one was
`err` and its own was `e`, which is the name reserved for an incoming one.

24/24 pass, reindent --check clean.

9924d74dcc Namespace every exported symbol, and bump to 0.5.0
Closes internal-consistency items 1 through 6, 12 and 13. Every include guard
is _AKGL_<FILE>_H_, every in-project header include is angled, and every
exported function, type and global carries the akgl_ prefix. This is an ABI
break; the soname goes to libakgl.so.0.5. TODO.md carries the full rename
table.

The renames were driven by renaming each declaration and letting the compiler
find the uses, not by pattern substitution: renderer, physics and camera are
also parameter and struct-member names, and a sed would have rewritten
map->physics and every akgl_RenderBackend *renderer parameter without a word.

Item 4 turned out not to be cosmetic. The library exported a global called
renderer and tests/character.c defined an SDL_Renderer *renderer of its own;
the executable's definition preempted the library's, akgl_sprite_load_json
read a SDL_Renderer * through an akgl_RenderBackend *, and every texture load
in that suite failed. The suite reported success anyway, because libakerror's
unhandled-error handler ends in exit(errctx->status), exit keeps only the low
byte, and AKGL_ERR_SDL is exactly 256. So character had been green while
running one of its four tests, and every suite in the tree was unable to fail
on the most common status in a library built on SDL.

Both are fixed. tests/testutil.h gains TEST_TRAP_UNHANDLED_ERRORS(), which
collapses any status a byte cannot carry onto 1, and every suite installs it.
character binds a real backend with akgl_render_2d_bind. Its fourth test then
runs for the first time and fails on a defect it has asserted all along, so
akgl_heap_release_character now walks state_sprites with
AKGL_ITERATOR_OP_RELEASE and destroys the property set before zeroing the slot
-- TODO.md Defects item 21 and half of Carried over item 1.

AKGL_TIME_ONESEC_MS said "one second in milliseconds" and held 1000000, so
akgl_game_state_lock waited roughly sixteen minutes rather than one second. It
is AKGL_TIME_ONEMS_NS now, the budget is its own named constant, and
tests/game.c holds the mutex from a second thread to assert the wait -- the
contended path had no coverage at all.

Headers are self-contained and it is enforced: AKGL_PUBLIC_HEADERS drives both
install() and a generated translation unit per header, so a header that ships
is a header that is checked. Writing that found registry.h, which used
SDL_PropertiesID in eight declarations and included no SDL header.

23/23 suites pass, memcheck is clean, reindent --check is clean.

akgl_Actor::scale is one float32_t applied to both dest.w and dest.h, so
"twice as wide, the same height" cannot be expressed. The VIC-II has had
separate x- and y-expand bits since 1982 and Commodore BASIC 7.0's SPRITE
verb exposes both, so a BASIC interpreter drawing through this library
cannot implement its own documented verb.

Reached from akbasic, whose sprites are 24x21. It works around this and
defect 26 together by installing its own renderfunc on each actor rather
than patching around the library.

Two other defects were filed alongside this one before the rebase and
both are gone: the drawn-height-from-width bug is already defect 26, and
the akgl_path_relative context leak was fixed in c622754.

5dfa49482c Guard the add_test shadow on being top-level again
CMake chains command overrides one level deep: a second override rebinds
_add_test to the first and the builtin becomes unreachable to everyone. So two
projects in one tree cannot both shadow add_test, and akbasic has to shadow it
first for libakerror and libakstdlib -- which left its own registrations
recursing to CMake's depth limit.

The unconditional shadow arrived with the vendored-dependency fix in 18399f2.
That half stays; only the guard comes back.

fb58bb01b0 Fix every memory defect the checker found, and bump to 0.4.0
Six findings, all of them libakgl's, all closed. The memcheck run is clean.

Not one of the four json_load_file calls in src/ was ever matched by a
json_decref, so every asset load abandoned its parsed document: 1.5 KB per
sprite, 2.1 KB per character, 9 KB per load of the 2x2 fixture map, and on
the order of a megabyte for a real one. Each loader now releases it in the
CLEANUP block it already had, on the success path as well as the failure
one. akgl_registry_load_properties needed its loop moved inside the ATTEMPT
block first: props is a borrowed reference into the document and is read
after the block ends, so every exit from that loop leaked the whole tree.

akgl_get_property copied a fixed AKGL_MAX_STRING_LENGTH bytes out of what
SDL handed back, which is SDL's strdup of the value -- four bytes for
"0.0". That read up to 4 KiB past the end of somebody else's allocation on
every property read, returned whatever was there past the terminator, and
would have faulted on a value that landed at the end of a page. It copies
the value and its terminator now, and refuses a value too long for an
akgl_String rather than truncating it into an unterminated buffer. The
header note that described the overread as a quirk describes correct
behaviour instead.

The four savegame name tables wrote a fixed-width field starting at the
registry key, and SDL sizes that allocation to the name. They read past it
on every entry and put what they found into the save file: up to half a
kilobyte of this process's heap per registered object, in a file a player
might send to somebody. They stage through a zeroed buffer now, and a
negative-array-size typedef fails the build if a table's width ever outgrows
it.

akgl_controller_list_keyboards never freed the array SDL_GetKeyboards
allocated for it.

A font could be opened and published and never handed back -- there was no
way to close one, so a game that changed fonts between scenes leaked ten
kilobytes each time, and loading over a live name leaked the font it
displaced. akgl_text_unloadfont is that missing half, and akgl_text_loadfont
calls it when it replaces a name, after the new font has opened so a failed
reload leaves the caller with the font they had. A new public symbol takes
the version to 0.4.0 and the soname with it: an 0.3 consumer cannot be
handed this library and told it is the same ABI.

tests/registry.c fills a destination with a sentinel and asserts the bytes
past the terminator survive a read, which fails against the old copy.
tests/text.c covers unload, double unload, unloading a name that was never
registered, and replacement closing the displaced font. The JSON releases
have no test of their own and cannot sensibly have one -- nothing in the
public API can observe a jansson refcount -- so the memcheck run is their
test, which is an argument for gating it rather than against.

The two remaining findings are in deps/semver's own unit test, which is
vendored. They are suppressed by function name, so a rewrite of those cases
comes back as a finding.

af304dc2f9 Check memory with the suites that already exist
`cmake --build build --target memcheck` runs every registered CTest suite
under valgrind. There are no new test programs, and there should not be any:
tests/benchutil.h notices valgrind in LD_PRELOAD and drops the benchmark
scale to 0.0005, which turns the perf suites into the broadest path coverage
in the tree at a cost valgrind can survive. A benchmark walks one path a
hundred thousand times; a leak check wants every path walked once. Same
binaries, one flag apart, and the whole run is about thirty seconds.

scripts/memcheck.sh wraps `ctest -T memcheck` because that command records
defects and still exits 0, which cannot gate anything. It also forces the
headless drivers, so the vendor GPU stack is never loaded -- that removes
thousands of unfixable findings inside amdgpu_dri.so without suppressing
anything, and it is what the suites are written for anyway. Only definite
losses, invalid accesses and uninitialised reads count; "still reachable" is
what SDL and FreeType keep for the process lifetime and says nothing about
this library. The three suppressions in scripts/valgrind.supp are each a
decision that a finding belongs to somebody else.

Six defects, all filed in TODO.md under "Memory checking", the first of
which is the one that matters: not one of the four json_load_file calls in
src/ is ever matched by a json_decref, so every asset load abandons its
parsed document -- 1.5 KB per sprite, 2.1 KB per character, 9 KB per load of
the 2x2 fixture map, and on the order of a megabyte for a real one. A game
that reloads a level on death leaks a level's worth of JSON every time.
akgl_get_property also reads up to 4 KiB past the end of every property
value it copies, and the savegame name tables read past the end of every
registry key and write what they find into the file.

tests/util.c zeroes three fixtures it used to leave as stack garbage. The
library was never at fault there -- the tests handed it uninitialised floats
and then made one real call with them -- but sixteen findings of noise in a
new gate is how a gate gets ignored.

The unit suites' TIMEOUT goes from 30 to 300 because CTest applies the same
property to the checked run, where everything is twenty times slower.

bcd49fc5b1 Measure the library: perf suites, a recorded baseline, and targets
tests/perf.c and tests/perf_render.c drive the hot paths hard enough to
time them -- pool acquire and release at both ends of the scan, the
registry, the state-to-sprite lookup, the per-actor update and render, the
physics sweep, an all-pairs collision sweep, the JSON accessors, path
resolution, the drawing primitives, text, asset loading, a screenful of
tiles, and a whole frame through akgl_game_update. They are registered like
any other suite but carry the `perf` label, so `ctest -L perf` runs only
them and `-LE perf` leaves them out. Every measurement is held to a budget
at roughly ten times the recorded baseline, enforced only in an optimized
build at full scale.

Three things had to be got right before the numbers meant anything, and
each was wrong first:

- No error checking inside the clock. PASS and CATCH call
  akerr_valid_error_address, which walks AKERR_ARRAY_ERROR -- more work than
  several of the calls being measured.
- Flush the renderer before stopping it. SDL batches, so the first version
  measured queueing, reported a tilemap frame 250 times faster than it is,
  and paid the real cost at teardown inside SDL_DestroyTexture.
- A drawing benchmark needs a raw-SDL control doing the same pixel work
  with the same access pattern. With one, akgl_tilemap_draw turns out to
  cost 0.2% of the frame it appeared to own: 16.26 ms against a control's
  16.23 ms for the same 1200 blits. The rasterizer is the frame.

PERFORMANCE.md records the baseline, the frame budget it adds up to, and
what the numbers say -- including that the string pool's acquire is 64x
slower full than empty because it is a megabyte of PATH_MAX buffers, that a
handled missing-sprite condition costs nine times the update it replaces,
that text rasterizes and throws away a texture on every call, and that 28 MB
of the library's BSS is one akgl_Tilemap.

TODO.md gains a Performance section: five defects the stress tests found
that the unit suites do not reach (a tilemap load leaking five pooled
strings, two JSON accessors that turn pool exhaustion into a segfault
rather than AKGL_ERR_HEAP, akgl_game_update crashing without
akgl_game_init, and its actor update sweep running once per tilemap layer),
and eighteen targets with today's number and whether it is met.

Some checks failed
libakgl CI Build / cmake_build (push) Failing after 21s
libakgl CI Build / mutation_test (push) Failing after 16s
Writing an honest @throws list means reading the implementation against the
contract its header claimed, and the two disagreed in more places than the
status codes. Recorded as items 14-25 under Defects, ordered by blast radius,
each with file, line, consequence and what closing it would touch. They are
also noted inline as @note or @warning on the function concerned, so a reader
of the generated documentation finds them without coming here first.

The three that matter most:

- akgl_path_relative returns from inside its ENOENT handler, skipping the
  RELEASE_ERROR that FINISH carries, so it leaks one of libakerror's 128
  error-context slots per call. That is not a rare path - it is the ordinary
  one, taken whenever an asset names a neighbour relative to its own file.
- akgl_sprite_load_json writes json_array_size() entries into a 16-element
  frameids array with no bound check, and does it through a uint32_t * cast of
  a uint8_t *. The same unbounded shape appears twice more in the tilemap
  loader, for objects per layer and tilesets per map.
- akgl_heap_release_character zeroes the character without walking its
  state-to-sprite map, so every sprite reference it took is lost and the SDL
  property set holding the map is leaked. Releasing characters between levels
  exhausts the sprite pool. akgl_character_state_sprites_iterate exists to do
  that walk and is not called from there.

Also: the background music never loops, because MIX_PROP_PLAY_LOOPS_NUMBER is
set on property set 0 rather than one akgl_load_start_bgm owns; and
akgl_get_json_with_default defaults on AKERR_INDEX while the array accessors
report a short array as AKERR_OUTOFBOUNDS, so the optional-element form
silently does not work for arrays.

No code changes. Every src/*.c:NNN citation in the new section was checked
against the file after the preceding commit shifted the line numbers.

582008a411 File five defects akbasic found consuming the new APIs
Some checks failed
libakgl CI Build / cmake_build (push) Failing after 18s
libakgl CI Build / mutation_test (push) Failing after 17s
akbasic has now consumed all four of the API gaps this file listed as blocking
it: its text sink, graphics backend, audio backend and input backend are written
and tested, and the BASIC 7.0 graphics, sound and console verbs work against
them. Doing that turned up six things worth fixing here -- five of which still
are.

Four are workarounds akbasic had to write to build at all, and each is commented
at its site over there with the words "filed upstream":

- An embedded libakgl requires SDL, SDL_image, SDL_mixer, SDL_ttf and jansson to
  be installed, while vendoring all five. The dependency block is gated on being
  top-level, so an add_subdirectory() consumer takes the find_package path and
  fails with the submodules sitting right there in deps/.
- include/akgl/controller.h does not compile on its own: it declares handlers
  taking an akgl_Actor * and includes nothing that declares the type. src/
  never notices because it includes game.h first.
- akgl_render_init2d() fuses two separable jobs -- creating a window, and
  installing the backend vtable -- so a caller who already owns an SDL_Renderer
  has no way to get the second without the first. That caller is exactly the
  embedding host this section exists to serve.
- akgl_text_rendertextat() dereferences renderer->draw_texture with no check,
  which is the state item 7 leaves a host in. Same class of defect the draw
  commit added a test for; the text path still has it.

The fifth is a real API gap: SOUND's frequency sweep has no equivalent, and it
cannot be faked in the interpreter without tying audible pitch to the host's
frame rate, so it has to be advanced on the mixer's own frame counter.

The sixth was that 42b60f7 shipped 22 public symbols under an unchanged VERSION
and soname. 1066ac7 fixed that independently while this was being written -- the
two crossed rather than one following the other -- so it is filed as resolved
rather than dropped. The reason is the part worth keeping: akbasic could not
feature-test for the new API and had to pin libakgl by submodule commit in its
README until that landed, which is the concrete cost of an additive release
under an unchanged soname.

All five outstanding items were re-verified against this tree after the rebase,
not just carried forward: controller.h still includes neither actor.h nor a
forward declaration, render_init2d still calls SDL_CreateWindowAndRenderer
before installing the vtable, text.c:62 still reaches through draw_texture
unchecked, the vendored-dependency block is still gated on being top-level, and
there is still no akgl_audio_sweep.

42b60f725d Close the test gaps mutation testing found in audio and draw
Some checks failed
libakgl CI Build / cmake_build (push) Failing after 19s
libakgl CI Build / mutation_test (push) Failing after 17s
A mutation smoke run scored src/audio.c at 50% and src/draw.c at 70% and named
three real holes:

- Nothing asserted that an unconfigured voice is audible, which is the entire
  reason the voice table defaults to a square wave at full level instead of a
  zeroed struct. Deleting the defaults survived.
- No envelope test used a non-zero attack and decay together, so the decay
  measuring from the start of the note rather than from the end of the attack
  survived.
- The circle was only checked at its four axis points, which a mis-signed
  octant reflection survives. It now checks that every plotted pixel has a
  mirror in the other three quadrants.

Also adds a backend that exists but was never given an SDL_Renderer, which is
the state a host is in between allocating one and initializing it; every draw
entry point has to report it rather than dereference it.

audio 50% -> 75%, draw 70% -> 90%. The survivors are recorded in TODO.md and
are honestly untestable from here.

2a3ca48d8f Synthesise tones on three voices
There was no audio API at all: SDL3_mixer was vendored and AKGL_REGISTRY_MUSIC
was declared, but nothing opened a mixer, and a mixer plays recordings anyway.
BASIC 7.0's SOUND, PLAY, ENVELOPE and VOL describe notes, so this adds a tone
generator -- three voices, five waveforms, an ADSR envelope each, mixed to one
float stream and fed to an SDL_AudioStream.

The voice table works whether or not a device is open. akgl_audio_init connects
it to one; a host that owns its own audio pipeline can call akgl_audio_mix
instead. That is also what makes the tests deterministic: a device pulls samples
on SDL's audio thread whenever it likes, so tests/audio.c mixes by hand and only
opens a device in its last test.

Phase is computed from the frame counter rather than accumulated, because a
float increment of hz/44100 added 44100 times a second walks a held note off
pitch. A voice that has never been configured defaults to a square wave at full
level, since a zeroed voice would have a sustain of 0.0 and make no sound with
no error to explain why. Voices summing past full scale are clamped rather than
scaled, so one voice plays at the level it was asked for.

dba0f8db89 Draw shapes immediately against a renderer
BASIC 7.0's graphics verbs -- DRAW, BOX, CIRCLE, PAINT, SSHAPE and GSHAPE -- all
plot against the current screen right now rather than adding to a scene, and
draw.h had exactly one function in it. This adds akgl_draw_point, _line, _rect,
_filled_rect, _circle, _flood_fill, _copy_region and _paste_region, each taking
the akgl_RenderBackend the host already initialized.

Color is an argument rather than a current-color global, so there is no second
copy of state to disagree with the caller's own, and each call restores the
renderer's draw color when it is done. SDL3 has no circle and no flood fill: the
circle is a midpoint circle, and the fill reads the target back, walks the
region with a fixed 4096-entry span stack, and blits back only the bounding box
of what changed. Exhausting that stack reports AKERR_OUTOFBOUNDS and says in the
header that the region is left partially filled.

tests/draw.c draws into a 64x64 software renderer under the dummy video driver
and reads the pixels back, so it needs no display and no offscreen harness.

1ddc64010a Let a caller take keystrokes without owning the event loop
akbasic's GET and GETKEY ask "is there a keystroke waiting, yes or no" and must
not require the interpreter to pump SDL events itself. akgl_controller_poll_key
drains one key per call from a fixed 32-entry ring that
akgl_controller_handle_event fills, so the host keeps pumping and the embedded
interpreter reads at its own pace. akgl_controller_flush_keys discards a
backlog.

The recording happens before the control-map scan, not after: that scan returns
as soon as a binding claims the event, so recording afterwards would have
dropped exactly the keys a game also acts on. A full buffer refuses the newest
keystroke rather than overwriting the oldest, so a caller reading a line gets
what was typed first.

17e6e04c79 Measure rendered text without drawing it
akbasic needs the advance width of one character cell to build a terminal-style
text surface, and the wrapped size to know where a string crosses the right
margin. akgl_text_measure and akgl_text_measure_wrapped report both over
TTF_GetStringSize and TTF_GetStringSizeWrapped; neither needs a renderer, so
this half of the text subsystem is testable without the offscreen harness.

A negative wrap length is refused with AKERR_OUTOFBOUNDS: SDL_ttf reads it as a
very large unsigned width and quietly stops wrapping, which would return a
measurement that is wrong rather than an error the caller can see.

Also fixes akgl_text_loadfont, which checked name twice and passed an unchecked
filepath to TTF_OpenFont (TODO item 39).

The fixture font is a 10 KB monospaced ASCII subset of Liberation Mono, renamed
because "Liberation" is a Reserved Font Name; see
tests/assets/akgl_test_mono.LICENSE.txt. Monospaced so the suite can assert
width("AAAA") == 4 * width("A") rather than hardcode glyph metrics.

5f03475e0f Record the API gaps blocking akbasic
Some checks failed

akbasic is a C port of the BASIC interpreter being built to link into libakgl as
a scripting engine for game authors. Its interpreter core is complete and passes
its whole acceptance corpus against a stdio text sink; four gaps here block the
libakgl-backed sink and the graphics, sound and console verbs of Commodore
BASIC 7.0.

Filed rather than worked around downstream, because growing libakgl to serve a
consumer is the wanted outcome. Each entry says what the BASIC verb needs, what
the akgl_* entry point should look like, and what would cover it.

Only the first blocks work already designed and waiting. text.h can load a font
and render a string and cannot say how large that string will be, so there is no
way to build a terminal-style surface on it -- a cursor needs the advance width
of a cell and wrapping needs to know where a string crosses the margin. The
reference interpreter derived its whole character grid from SDL2_ttf's
SizeUTF8("A"). akgl_text_measure() over TTF_GetStringSize closes it.

The other three block verbs not yet started: draw.h declares one function and
src/draw.c is at 0%, so DRAW/BOX/CIRCLE/PAINT have nothing to plot with; there
is no audio API at all despite SDL3_mixer being vendored, and PLAY/ENVELOPE want
a synthesised voice SDL3_mixer does not provide; and controller.h is built
around event handlers the host pumps, which suits a game loop but not GET/GETKEY
-- those ask whether a keystroke is waiting and must not require the interpreter
to own the event loop, which goal 3 forbids anyway.

6dfe7487ae Record the stale-build-tree coverage defect
Some checks failed
libakgl CI Build / cmake_build (push) Failing after 19s
libakgl CI Build / mutation_test (push) Failing after 16s
Defects #13: gcovr searches for gcov data under --root, which
CMakeLists.txt:208 and :223 set to the source directory, so any
instrumented build tree left there is merged into the report. The
--object-directory argument beside each does not narrow the search; it
only maps gcda files back to the compiler's working directory.

A leftover build-coverage/ therefore fails coverage_reset before any
test runs, with gcovr unable to reconcile a function reported on two
different lines. The build*/ entry in .gitignore keeps the offending
tree out of git status, so the state is easy to get into and hard to
spot.

772f960865 Record internal consistency findings and the controller DB defect
Add an "Internal consistency" section to TODO.md: 41 numbered findings
from a sweep of src/ and include/, each cited by file:line and grouped by
blast radius. These are convention problems, not a re-audit of behavior,
but several have live functional consequences:

- AKGL_TIME_ONESEC_MS is misnamed. Its value is nanoseconds-per-
  millisecond, but akgl_game_state_lock uses it as a one-second budget
  against a 100ms delay loop, so the lock blocks ~16 minutes.
- SUCCEED_RETURN inside an ATTEMPT block at tilemap.c:52 bypasses the
  CLEANUP two lines below, leaking two heap strings on every successful
  tilemap property lookup, against a 256-entry pool.
- AKGL_ACTOR_STATE_STRING_NAMES is declared [33] and defined [32], and
  names bits 11 and 12 as UNDEFINED where actor.h defines MOVING_IN and
  MOVING_OUT, so no character JSON can bind a sprite to those states.
- 19 non-static functions are defined in src/ but declared in no header,
  and akgl_game_init_screen is declared but never defined.
- AKGL_COLLIDE_RECTANGLES has unbalanced parentheses and cannot compile.
- text.c:19 checks `name` twice and never validates `filepath`.

Item 30 is marked resolved by the reindent in the preceding commit.

Also add Defects #12: a failed controller-DB fetch silently destroys the
tracked fallback. include/akgl/SDL_GameControllerDB.h is committed on
purpose so the library still builds if upstream disappears, but
mkcontrollermappings.sh has no `set -e` and never checks curl's exit
status -- on failure it overwrites the good header with
AKGL_SDL_GAMECONTROLLER_DB_LEN 0 and an empty initializer, and exits 0.
Verified against an unresolvable host. CMakeLists.txt:89-93 compounds
this: the custom command's OUTPUT is relative, so CMake resolves it
against the binary dir while the script writes to the source dir, leaving
the command permanently out of date and re-running on every build.

bc782fbffe Add controller test suite and reach 72 percent line coverage
Some checks failed

Cover control map capacity, the default binding set, keyboard and gamepad
dispatch including cross-device rejection, the dpad handlers, and device
add and remove against the dummy SDL drivers. Synthesize SDL events directly
rather than pumping the event queue, so the suite needs no real hardware.

Fix the three-way appstate check in the four gamepad handlers, which tested
appstate in place of both the event pointer and the looked-up player actor,
so a null event or a missing player was dereferenced instead of reported.

Record the new coverage status in TODO.md along with the seven defects the
suites uncovered and fixed, eleven that remain open, and the reason the
build tree has to precede LD_LIBRARY_PATH for the CTest run.

6f6bd2d563 Plan a unit test suite from the coverage baseline
Record the 39.6 percent line and 44.3 percent function coverage baseline
measured with the AKGL_COVERAGE build, and plan twelve test suites to raise
it to roughly 70 percent lines and 80 percent functions. Tier the work by
what each suite needs: pure logic suites for physics, json_helpers, heap,
and savegame handling that require no renderer; renderer suites gated behind
a shared offscreen harness; and controller and frame-loop coverage deferred.

Note that vendored dependency shared objects are absent from the loader path
in a fresh out-of-tree build, which reports every test as zero coverage, and
record ten suspected defects found while reading the uncovered code so the
new tests assert correct behavior rather than pinning the current one.
