The sidescroller's controls did nothing. `akgl_controller_handle_event` matched
`event->key.which == curmap->kbid` exactly, with no way to say "whatever
keyboard the player is typing on", so the game did the obvious thing and bound
`SDL_GetKeyboards()[0]`.
That cannot work. The id a key event *carries* is chosen by the video backend
and is not required to be an id `SDL_GetKeyboards()` reports. On X11 without
XInput2 every key event carries `SDL_GLOBAL_KEYBOARD_ID`, which is 0, while
`SDL_AddKeyboard` registers the attached keyboard as `SDL_DEFAULT_KEYBOARD_ID`,
which is 1; with XInput2 the events carry the physical slave device's
`sourceid` while `SDL_GetKeyboards()[0]` may be the master. Either way the map
matched nothing and every key press was dropped.
A `kbid` or `jsid` of 0 now matches any device of that kind. 0 is safe to spend:
SDL documents `which` as 0 when the source is unknown or virtual, and joystick
ids start at 1, so no real device is 0. A non-zero id still matches only that
device, which is what keeps two local players on two keyboards apart, and there
is a test for that half too. `util/charviewer.c` already passed 0 and depended
on the old behaviour by accident; it works under XInput2 now as well.
Two reasons this shipped, both closed:
- Every test in tests/controller.c dispatched an event whose id equalled the id
the map was bound with, so none of them could see it.
- The sidescroller's smoke test called the control handlers directly instead of
dispatching events, so it passed against a control map that matched nothing.
It now pushes synthetic events through akgl_controller_handle_event from a
deliberately non-zero device id and fails if the press does not arrive.
Verified by breaking the binding and watching the run exit non-zero.
`test_controller_wildcard_device_ids` was written first and failed against the
unfixed library with "a map bound to keyboard 0 ignored a key press from device
11", which is the whole reason to trust it now that it passes.
The controls were documented, in one sentence. Chapter 19 has a proper table of
them, and chapter 15 explains why not to reach for SDL_GetKeyboards(). The
header said the match was exact and now says what it does.

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.

Closes Defects items 30 and 31 and Known-and-still-open items 1, 2, 5, 9 and 11.
Both string accessors in json_helpers.c ended their ATTEMPT block with
FINISH(errctx, false), which swallows the failure, and then strncpy'd through
the pointer akgl_heap_next_string never set. So the one condition the pool
exists to report -- it is full, which in practice means something is not
releasing -- arrived as a segfault somewhere else entirely. It is
FINISH(errctx, true) now, and tests/json_helpers.c claims every slot and
asserts AKGL_ERR_HEAP comes back out of both. That test segfaults against the
old code, which is also how the tilemap leak test in the previous commit
confirmed this one.
akgl_tilemap_release tested layers[i].texture and destroyed
tilesets[i].texture, so every tileset texture was freed twice on one release
and no image layer's texture was freed at all. Pointers are cleared as they go,
so a second release is safe instead of a use-after-free.
akgl_game_update_fps called game.lowfpsfunc() unguarded, on a path taken on
frame one because fps is 0 for the first second. Only akgl_game_init installs
it, and renderer.h documents the other path deliberately -- a host that owns
its window binds a backend instead. It installs the default when it finds NULL.
akgl_controller_pushmap and akgl_controller_default checked only the upper
bound, so a negative id indexed before akgl_controlmaps.
The two test-harness helpers were quietly worthless. akgl_render_and_compare
drew t1 on both passes, so it always reported a match and every image assertion
built on it asserted nothing; and akgl_compare_sdl_surfaces memcmp'd
s1->pitch * s1->h bytes out of both surfaces without checking that the second
was the same size, so a smaller one was read past its end. Both fixed, both
tested. tests/util.c also now calls the collide-point test it has defined and
never run.
25/25 pass, memcheck clean, reindent --check and check_error_protocol clean.

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.

Closes internal-consistency item 18. The convention was settled -- AGENTS.md
records errctx winning 92 sites to 45 -- but the other 45 were still there, and
four files favoured `e` throughout while six favoured errctx, sometimes within
one file.
Its own commit because it is a rename and nothing else. All 333 changed lines
are a single identifier substitution: applying \be\b -> errctx to each removed
line reproduces the added line exactly, and the counts match at 333 either way.
`e` keeps its meaning where the convention actually wants it -- an incoming
error context being inspected, as in akgl_get_json_with_default(e, ...) -- which
is why that function was left alone.
25/25 pass, reindent --check clean.

Closes internal-consistency items 16 and 17.
Ten *_RETURN macros sat inside ATTEMPT blocks, which return past CLEANUP and
skip every release in it. The one that mattered was the success path of
akgl_get_json_tilemap_property: it leaked two of the string pool's 256 entries
on every lookup that *found* what it was asked for, and a map load does that
several times per layer. tests/tilemap.c now runs each of its three paths --
found, absent, wrong type -- twice the pool size and asserts the pool is where
it started. Against the old code that test does not merely fail, it segfaults,
which is Defects item 30 seen from the outside: pool exhaustion arriving as a
NULL strncpy rather than as AKGL_ERR_HEAP.
Two of the conversions needed more than swapping the macro. In
akgl_get_json_tilemap_property a plain break would have fallen through to the
"property not found" FAIL_RETURN after FINISH, reporting a miss for something
found, so the success path sets a flag. In akgl_collide_rectangles the eight
early exits are followed by `*collide = false;`, which would have overwritten
the hit that broke out; each corner test writes the flag itself, so that line
is gone rather than moved. The same function also released its scratch string
once per loop iteration while continuing to use it, so the slot was free while
still live -- one claim now covers the whole scan.
akgl_controller_default is the other behavioural one: its SUCCEED_RETURN was
the last statement in the ATTEMPT block, so the path that falls out of FINISH
reached the closing brace of a non-void function.
scripts/check_error_protocol.py keeps both rules enforced -- a *_RETURN inside
ATTEMPT, and a return out of a HANDLE block -- as the error_protocol test.
Neither produces a compiler diagnostic and neither fails a test run until the
pool it drains is empty, which is why both have already shipped once.
For item 17: the eight typed JSON accessors that validated their container and
then wrote through dest unconditionally now check key and dest as the two
string accessors always did; the null physics backend checks its actors like
the arcade one; and akgl_render_2d_frame_start, _frame_end and _shutdown check
self, which the first two read straight through. tests/renderer.c calls all
three with NULL, which segfaulted before.
25/25 pass, memcheck clean, reindent --check clean.

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.

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.

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.

The ring held a keycode and dropped the rest of the event, so a line editor
built on akgl_controller_poll_key() could not reach a single shifted
character: no double quote, no colon, no parenthesis, and no lower case.
The modifier state was discarded two layers below the caller, and polling
SDL_GetModState() at read time cannot recover it -- the key is long
released by then, which is the point of a ring.
akgl_Keystroke carries the keycode, the modifiers and the UTF-8 text SDL
composed, and akgl_controller_poll_keystroke() hands back all three.
akgl_controller_poll_key() is unchanged for its callers: a game asking
whether the up arrow was pressed already gets what it wants.
The text comes from SDL_EVENT_TEXT_INPUT, which is the only correct way to
get a character out of SDL, and is attached to the press still waiting for
it -- tracked with a flag rather than by "whatever entry is newest", so a
press dropped by a full buffer cannot hand its text to an older key. Text
with no press behind it (an IME commit, a dead key) is buffered on its own
with keycode 0, and the keycode-only poller discards those on the way past.
Oversized text is cut on a code point boundary, and a sequence the string
ends in the middle of is dropped rather than read past its terminator.

The Doxygen comments were generated from the declarations, so 217 @throws
lines across 21 headers read "When the corresponding validation or operation
fails" and told a caller nothing beyond the status name. The @param lines were
the same shape: every output was "Output destination populated by the
function", every instance "Object to initialize, inspect, or modify".
Rewritten against the implementations, following the pattern libakstdlib
already uses:
- @throws names the condition. akgl_sprite_load_json separated AKERR_KEY
(absent) from AKERR_TYPE (present, wrong type) from AKERR_OUTOFBOUNDS
(filename too long, or array indexed past its end), and gained AKGL_ERR_SDL
and AKGL_ERR_HEAP, which it raises and never declared.
- Parameters say whether they are required, what a NULL means, and what is
written on a failure path. Where an argument is not checked, the doc says so:
akgl_heap_next_actor's dest is a crash on NULL, not an error, and
akgl_render_2d_frame_start dereferences self before testing it.
- The conventions move up to the file blocks so the per-function docs stay
short. json_helpers.h states once that absence is an error here and that
json_t * results are borrowed; heap.h explains the pool model and the
acquire asymmetry; physics.h carries the thrust/environmental/velocity table.
- Struct fields, enum values, macros and exported globals are documented,
including the dead ones - sprite_w/sprite_h, movetimer, p_scale and
timer_gravity are read by nothing, and say so.
Also fixes ten comments in error.h and audio.h that opened with /** rather
than /**<, so Doxygen attached them to the following entity and rendered the
text as part of the macro's value. Verified against the generated HTML.
Comments only - no declaration changed. Doxygen builds clean under
WARN_AS_ERROR, scripts/reindent.sh --check passes, 19/19 suites pass.

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.

Mechanical whitespace-only change across src/, include/, tests/, and
util/, applied with scripts/reindent.sh. No behavioral change.
Most files already conformed. The genuine outliers indented at 2 columns
(json_helpers.c, util.c from akgl_rectangle_points onward, assets.c,
staticstring.c, akgl_actor_add_child, util.h, staticstring.h) or used
spaces where the canonical form is a tab (draw.c). cc-mode also re-aligns
line-continuation backslashes in multi-line macros to its default
c-backslash-column, which is required for the tree to be a fixed point of
the indenter.
Verified whitespace-only: `git diff -w` over this change is empty apart
from three trailing blank lines removed at EOF in src/heap.c,
src/registry.c, and tests/tilemap.c. The build produces no new errors and
ctest is unchanged at 13/14, with `character` still the one intentional
failure.
The tree is now a fixed point of `scripts/reindent.sh --check`.
include/akgl/SDL_GameControllerDB.h is generated and excluded.

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
