DramaticShape a3fb18a589 shiny Pokemon, on by default
Gen 1 has no shininess of its own, but it has the four DVs Gen 2 reads to
decide it -- and the engine already ships that reading (Stats.isShiny, its
own comment calling it "the RBY virtual shiny", allowlisted for mods
precisely so an indicator mod can call it). Nothing new is stored on a
Pokemon and nothing migrates: every save already contains the answer, and
this starts drawing it. Random DVs land on the pattern 1 in 8192, which is
the classic rate and the default the odds dial ships at.

Deriving rather than storing is what makes it survive a save, a box, a
trade and an evolution with no second copy of the truth to drift. mon.shiny
is a cache written from the DVs, never read as the source.

The roll goes in Pokemon.new -- every wild, gift, starter and traded mon is
built there, and it is before the battle bakes its sprite, which
battle.started is already too late for. It draws from the mod's own random
stream so installing this does not shift the sequence damage rolls and
encounter slots come out of. Trainers stay ordinary by themselves: the
engine pins their DVs, as the real games do.

The models are genuinely recoloured, as part of the extraction. Each
species is decoded once, packed as usual, then recoloured and packed again
as NNNs.dsm. The colours are Stadium's own HSL slide (hue in degrees,
saturation and lightness on a -8..+8 scale at 12.5% a step); five species
carry an explicit colour table instead, because Stadium gives them a real
alternate texture that no single slide reproduces -- Jigglypuff's body must
stay pink while its irises rotate to green.

Extraction is the right moment because StadiumFx's generated frames are
still marked there and the packer drops the marker: it is the last point a
flame is distinguishable from a hide. A shiny Charizard has a shiny hide
and an ordinary fire. The normal packs are written BEFORE the recolour, so
they come out byte-identical and stadium_extract_test still diffs all 151
against the Python oracle unchanged -- no format change, no DSM4, no second
implementation to keep in step. REV goes to 3 so an existing cache rebuilds.

Flat art is tinted instead, because the engine bakes a species palette into
a cache with no notion of which individual is drawn. The tint comes from
that species' own slide rather than a generic gold. A multiply can only
darken, so species whose shiny is lighter read quieter there than on the
model; the status page's star is the mode-proof mark.

Tests: 58 assertions in tests/shiny_test.lua, including the colour
transform against 640 real colour pairs lifted from the verified texture
set, the DV model, the read side, and the end-to-end through the engine's
own constructor. stadium_extract_test gains --mod (worktrees have neither
the ROM nor the packs, both gitignored) and now also checks that every
shiny pack is the same length as its twin and actually differs.

-- The shiny recolour: Stadium's own HSL slide, run over decoded texels.
--
-- THE COLOUR MODEL IS STADIUM'S, not an invention. The Stadium games do not
-- ship a second set of textures for a shiny Pokemon; they convert the
-- colours the model already has to HSL and slide them -- a hue rotation in
-- degrees, plus saturation and lightness on a quantized integer scale of
-- -8..+8 where 0 is no change. One step is 12.5%, so +-8 is +-100%: exactly
-- the range of GIMP's Hue-Saturation sliders, which is where the 12.5%
-- figure was measured. s = -8 is full greyscale, l = +8 is white.
--
-- That equivalence is why the maths below is GIMP's Hue-Saturation and not
-- a plain additive offset:
--
-- saturation s' = s * (1 + k) multiplicative
-- lightness l' = l * (1 + k) k < 0 scale toward black
-- l' = l + k * (1 - l) k > 0 blend toward white
--
-- The multiplicative saturation is the reason this is safe to run over a
-- whole texture rather than a masked region: a pixel with no saturation --
-- an eye white, a tooth, a grey shadow -- is immune to BOTH the hue
-- rotation and the saturation step, for free and by construction. Only the
-- lightness step touches achromatic pixels, which is why the species
-- carrying big l values (Golbat and Slowpoke at -6, Moltres at +5) are the
-- ones worth looking at with human eyes.
--
-- FIVE SPECIES CANNOT BE SLID. Clefairy, Clefable, Jigglypuff, Wigglytuff
-- and Gyarados get a real alternate texture in Stadium, because their shiny
-- moves one region a long way and leaves another alone -- Jigglypuff's body
-- stays pink while its irises go green -- and a single rotation moves
-- everything or nothing.
--
-- Those five carry `lut` instead: an explicit before/after colour mapping,
-- sampled from the verified texture pairs, listing only the colours that
-- actually move. A first attempt drove them from a handful of per-region
-- anchors and picked the nearest one per pixel, which is wrong in a way
-- worth recording: with regions as far apart as Clefairy's pink body and
-- its green ear tips, a dark red shadow pixel is "nearest" to the green and
-- gets rotated 150 degrees the wrong way. The fixture caught it at a
-- 124/255 channel error. An exact table is a few tens of kilobytes and has
-- no such failure mode, so these five are data rather than algorithm.
--
-- WHY THIS RUNS AT EXTRACTION. The textures are already decoded to RGBA in
-- memory at that moment (StadiumFragment.decodeTexture), and -- the part
-- that matters -- generated effect frames are still distinguishable there.
-- StadiumFx marks them `generated = true`, and the packer drops that field,
-- so at runtime an additive flame can only be inferred back from the prim
-- table. Recolouring a flame is wrong: a shiny Charizard has a shiny hide
-- and an ordinary fire. Doing the work while the marker still exists means
-- the discrimination is exact rather than reconstructed.
--
-- THE MEMO IS WHAT MAKES IT AFFORDABLE. These are N64 textures: a few
-- hundred distinct colours across tens of thousands of texels. Converting
-- per DISTINCT COLOUR instead of per pixel turns the inner loop into a
-- table lookup, which is the difference between a pass that is felt during
-- the install and one that is not.
-- the mod namespace (see main.lua): V.require loads a sibling module
