-- 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.

-- ------- a tint, for the flat sprites
--
-- The 3D models get real recoloured texels. The 2D battle pics cannot: the
-- engine bakes a species palette into a cached image keyed by path and
-- palette name, and that cache has no idea which INDIVIDUAL is being drawn.
-- What is available per-draw is the draw colour, which multiplies.
--
-- So the pic is tinted, and the tint is derived from the species' OWN shiny
-- slide rather than being a generic gold: run a spread of reference colours
-- through the real transform, take the mean ratio out to in, and that is
-- the multiply that best stands in for it. A shiny Golbat leans green, a
-- shiny Charizard goes dusky, and neither is a costume.
--
-- ITS ONE LIMIT, stated plainly: a multiply can only darken. Where a species'
-- shiny is LIGHTER than its normal, the honest ratio is above 1 and gets
-- clamped, so those come out under-shifted -- present, but quieter than the
-- model. The floor keeps the darkest cases readable rather than muddy.
