# TODO

1. **Make character-to-sprite state bindings release their references symmetrically.**
   `akgl_character_sprite_add()` increments the sprite refcount for every state-map
   binding, but no corresponding removal API exists. Replacing a state binding
   also leaves the previous sprite's refcount incremented. When
   `akgl_heap_release_character()` drops the character refcount to zero, it clears
   the character registry entry and zeroes the structure without enumerating
   `state_sprites`, decrementing the bound sprites, or destroying the SDL property
   map. Implement binding removal/replacement so each removed binding releases
   exactly one sprite reference. On final character release, enumerate every
   remaining binding (the existing `akgl_character_state_sprites_iterate()` release
   path may be reusable), release each reference, destroy `state_sprites`, and then
   clear the character. Add tests for removal, replacement, duplicate sprite
   bindings across multiple states, and final character release.
