+# AI Disclosure
+
+This is a disclosure of the use of AI in this project.
+
+## AI Use
+
+Anyone who demands the dislosure of how AI was used in an engineering project,
+has no idea what AI is, or how it works. 
+
+AI was used in this project as a tool. Several contributors used AI in their
+commits, and so you will see like 7 commits by Claude or Codex or Cursor.
+
+However those commits were reviewed by human beings, and it was declared that
+the exact same fix would have been done by a human, so they were accepted.
+
+AI was not used to make decisions, or to create the project.
+

+Each entry is a version id (`"red"`, `"blue"`, `"yellow"`, `"gold"`), a
+generation (`"gen1"`, `"gen2"`) or `"all"`;
+`src/mods/ModTargets.lua` resolves them off `GameVersion.ORDER` so nothing
+restates the game list. `python3 tools/modkit.py scaffold my_mod --games
+gen1,gen2` writes the key for you. The mod still installs to one directory,
+`mods/<id>/`, shared by every game -- targeting is declared, never filed.
+
+Absent means Gen 1 only, which is what every mod written before the key existed
+was tested as. `"gen2compat": true` is the legacy spelling, still accepted and
+purely additive (it *adds* the Gen 2 games), so no manifest can lose a game it
+already ran on. On a Gold boot a mod claiming no Gen 2 game is not loaded at
+all: the manager lists it as `ENABLED (NOT THIS GAME)` and says why, because a
+mod that half-applies reads as a broken mod. Claim Gen 2 once you have actually
+run your mod on Gold.
+
+Every token is enforced, per game: the loader gates on the same
+`ModTargets.supports` answer both mod surfaces draw, so `"games": ["blue"]`
+really does not load on Red and the skip line is the launcher's line, `For
+Blue, not Red`, and `"games": ["gold"]` alone does not load on Red either. A
+manifest with neither key still covers every Gen 1 game, so nothing written
+before the key existed changes behavior; list both generations or say `"all"`
+when you mean everywhere.
+
+`docs/mod-api-gen2-compat.md` is the compatibility matrix: what works on Gold
+today (40 of the 46 registries, 40 event and 43 hook names shared with Gen 1,
+and 24 Gen 2-only ones), which registries have no Gen 2 home and drop their
+writes with a report, and which hooks and events are still to come.
+`docs/preparing-your-mod-for-gen2.md` is the step-by-step migration guide for a
+Gen 1 mod, and it is the one to start from.
+
+Two consequences worth knowing before you claim Gen 2.
+
+**Dependencies are contagious.** A mod whose hard dependency does not run here
+is left out too, with the dependency's own wording (`depends on X, which does
+not run here (For Blue, not Red)`). It is reported as a skip, not as a failure,
+and neither mod lands on the boot error list, but the mod does not run, so
+every hard dependency has to cover the same games.
+
+**The player can override you.** The claim is yours, and a mod written before
+the key existed can never carry one, so the manager's detail pane offers
+`TRY HERE ANYWAY` for any mod that does not claim the game being played. It
+persists per game in `options.modsGen2[id][version]` and takes effect on the
+next boot; forcing a mod onto Red does not force it onto Gold. A forced mod
+loads normally and keeps a note saying its author never verified it here.
+
+**Prefer the API on Gold, but the Gen 1 names still work.** Gen 2 is a
+parallel module tree behind `src/core/Game2.lua`. In new code take the live
+game from `mod.game` (or the `game.ready` payload, or any `ui.*` hook's first
+argument) and the world from `mod.world`; both resolve per generation, and
+neither needs `engine_internals`.
+
+For the mods written before Gold existed, a require made from a mod's own file
+is answered on a Gold boot by an adapter presenting the Gen 1 API over Gen 2
+internals. Fifteen names are served -- `src.core.Game`,
+`src.world.OverworldController`, `src.world.Map`, `src.world.NPC`,
+`src.world.Collision`, `src.world.WorldAPI`, `src.world.PikachuFollower`,
+`src.world.FieldDefaults`, `src.pokemon.Boxes`, `src.script.ScriptRunner`,
+`src.ui.PartyMenu`, `src.ui.StartMenu`, `src.ui.OptionsMenu`, `src.ui.BoxMenu`
+and `src.battle.BattleState`. `src/mods/Gen2Compat.lua` is the full table and
+publishes what it covers through `Gen2Compat.coverage(name)`, whose members are
+`backed`, `warned` or `absent`. A name with no adapter (`src.script.Commands`,
+`src.ui.OptionRows`) is reported against the mod that required it, and a member
+an adapter cannot back is absent or logs once rather than answering wrongly.
+
+Things no adapter can fix, all mod-side: a hardcoded version allow-list
+(`GameVersion.get() == "red" or ...`) excludes you from Gold by construction;
+Gold's builtin screen ids carry a `Gen2` prefix, so a string match on
+`"BoxMenu"` matches nothing there; a write to a field on a live Gen 2 menu
+instance is inert; and `map.warpAt` is a table on Gen 1 and a method on Gold,
+so indexing it raises. Each has a route that works on both generations, in
+`docs/preparing-your-mod-for-gen2.md`.
+
+Check it statically, then load it headless:
+
+```sh
+python3 tools/modkit.py gen2check mods/my_mod
+```
+
+```lua
+local run = T.sdk.loadMod("mods/my_mod", { generation = 2 })
+T.eq(run.mod and run.mod.state, "loaded",
+  "runs on gen 2: " .. tostring(run.mod and run.mod.skipReason))
+T.eq(#run.errors, 0, "and loads with no boot errors")
+```
+
+Assert the state, not only the error count: a gate skip is deliberately not an
+error, so `#run.errors == 0` passes for a mod that never ran a line.
+
+`gen2check` answers `will load`, `will load but degrade` or `will not work`,
+with a `MK4xx` finding per site and an `unresolved:` note, with a file and a
+line, for every reach a static scan could not follow. Neither substitutes for a
+real Gold boot.
+
+### 5. What a mod's code can reach
+
+Your code runs in a sandbox (`src/mods/Sandbox.lua`), not against the
+engine's globals. Every chunk you author gets it: `main.lua`, your
+`options_schema`, and anything you `load()` yourself.
+
+The globals the sandbox took away are still *reachable*, as compat
+stand-ins (`src/mods/LegacyCompat.lua`) that answer with the new API
+underneath. A mod written before the sandbox keeps working; it logs one
+warning per call it should migrate, and the mod manager lists them. What
+each stand-in actually does:
+
+| Pre-sandbox call | What it does now | Migrate to |
+| --- | --- | --- |
+| `io.open`, `io.lines`, `love.filesystem.read`/`lines`/`newFile` | reads your own shipped files, then your overlay, then `mod.storage` | `mod:read`, `mod.storage` |
+| `love.filesystem.write`/`append`, `io.open(…, "w")`, `os.remove`, `os.rename` | writes to a private per-mod overlay under `mod_compat/<your id>/` | `mod.storage` |
+| `love.filesystem.getDirectoryItems`/`getInfo` | your own directory plus your overlay | `mod:list`, `mod:info` |
+| `love.filesystem.getSaveDirectory` and friends | a virtual root; anything joined to it lands in your overlay | `mod.storage` |
+| `os.getenv` | `nil`, except home-like names, which answer with that same virtual root | nothing |
+| `love.filesystem.load`, `dofile`, `loadfile` | compiles the chunk into your sandbox | `require`, `mod:read` plus `load` |
+| `love.system` | `getOS`/`getPowerInfo`/`getProcessorCount` read through; clipboard and `openURL` do nothing | `mod.device:powerInfo()`, `mod.steps` |
+| `love.event` | passes through, except `quit`, which does nothing | `mod.events`, `mod.hooks` |
+| `love.mousemoved = fn` and the other callbacks | installs on the real `love` table, the way it always did | `mod.hooks`, `mod.events` |
+| `package` | an inert stub, so `package.path = …` does not crash | `require` |
+
+What has no stand-in, because there is nothing honest to reroute it to:
+
+| Still refused | Why |
+| --- | --- |
+| `love.thread` | a LÖVE thread is a fresh Lua state with the full standard library, which no environment-based sandbox in this state can reach. Use `mod.fetch` for background HTTP (`network`) or `mod.job` for background compute (`background`) — both run your code inside the sandbox instead of outside it |
+| `require("ffi")` | arbitrary C |
+| `debug`, `getfenv`, `setfenv` | each one undoes the sandbox from inside |
+| `io.popen`, `os.execute` | spawning a process |
+| `love.run`, `love.errorhandler` | the engine's own loop and its crash path |
+| replacing a `love` module table (`love.filesystem = {}`) | the engine reads those tables too |
+
+The rest of `love` passes through unchanged, so graphics, audio, timers and
+input work as they always have.
+
+Three consequences worth knowing before you write against it:
+
+- **Your globals are yours.** `_G` inside a mod is that mod's own table. Two
+  mods no longer share a namespace, and neither can reach the engine's. To
+  publish something to another mod, put it on `mod.exports` and let them
+  `mod.find("your_id").exports` — the channel that was always the intended
+  one. The same goes for the standard library: `string`, `table` and `math`
+  are per-mod copies, so patching one is a local decision.
+- **Paths cannot climb.** `mod:read`, `mod:list`, `mod:info`, `mod.assets:path`
+  and `mod.assets:image` join to your own directory, and `..`, absolute paths
+  and drive letters are refused. So are `entry` and `options_schema` in your
+  manifest. `mod:list("assets")` is the sandboxed `getDirectoryItems` for a
+  folder you shipped; `mod:info` tells file from directory so a walk can
+  recurse.
+- **Ship source, not bytecode.** A precompiled entry file is refused.
+
+`permissions` in the manifest is still a disclosure the manager shows the
+player. `network` gates `require("socket")` and friends plus `mod.fetch`
+(non-blocking HTTP), and `background` gates `mod.job` (compute on a worker
+thread). Those two are the sanctioned ways to work off the main thread now
+that `love.thread` is refused. There is no
+permission that grants raw filesystem access, because no mod needs one:
+everything a mod legitimately writes is already scoped by
+`mod.storage` or the asset-transform derived root.
+
+If your mod used one of the rerouted globals, the fix is almost always
+`mod.storage`. The overlay is a compatibility floor, not a second storage
+system: it is not scoped per playthrough, it does not migrate, and it is
+the first thing that will be dropped once the mods on the index have
+moved off it. Open an issue if you have a case `mod.storage` does not
+cover.
+
+### 6. `mod.card`

 The manifest is the *engine's* contract: identity, load order, dependencies,
-permissions, profile. The card is the *human-facing* one: who made this,
+permissions, profile (see [Manifest specification](docs/modding.md#manifest-specification-manifestjson)).
+The card is the *human-facing* one: who made this,
 what it changes, what it does not do yet. It is never read by the loader's
 merge — only by tooling and the manager's detail pane — so an absent or
 malformed card can never break a load.

+## gen1recomp-sbc (Linux ARM SBC / PortMaster)
+
+Native LÖVE 11.5 aarch64 PortMaster port of gen1recomp for compatible Linux ARM SBC handhelds, including H700-class devices. This pack was built from source release **__SOURCE_TAG__**.
+
+### Install
+
+1. Install PortMaster for your handheld firmware.
+2. Unzip so `gen1recomp-sbc.sh` and the `gen1recomp-sbc/` folder are siblings in the device's PortMaster ports directory.
+3. Copy a legal US Pokémon Red or Blue `.gb` into `gen1recomp-sbc/lovegame/`.
+4. Refresh the launcher and launch **gen1recomp-sbc** from Ports.
+
+### Controls
+
+| Input | Action |
+|--|--|
+| D-pad | Move cursor |
+| A | Click |
+| L1 / R1 | Switch tabs |
+| Start / Select | Play or choose ROM |
+
+Controls use the normal PortMaster / SDL pad map. Device-specific power/suspend behavior is supplied by the firmware and PortMaster runtime.
+
+### First run
+
+Put the `.gb` in `lovegame/`, then press **Choose ROM**. After import, the ROM-derived cache and saves stay beside the game (`portable.txt`).
+
+### Thanks
+
+LÖVE runtime binaries from [PortMaster](https://portmaster.games/). PortMaster device support and runtime integration are maintained by the PortMaster team.

-# Behavior porting notes
-
-What was ported from pokered's engine code and where it came from.
-
-## Overworld
-
- **Collision rule** (`home/overworld.asm` tile-in-front checks): a 16x16
-  cell is passable when its bottom-left 8x8 tile is in the tileset's
-  `coll_tiles` list. Verified against Pallet Town's fences/houses/water
-  and Oak's Lab furniture.
- **Warp activation** (`home/overworld.asm` CheckWarpsNoCollision /
-  ExtraWarpCheck): a warp fires when arriving on a warp whose standing
-  tile is in the tileset's door or warp tile list, or when standing on a
-  warp and walking off the map edge (interior exit mats). Both paths are
-  data-driven from `door_tile_ids.asm` / `warp_tile_ids.asm`.
- **LAST_MAP warps** return to the remembered outdoor map/position, like
-  `wLastMap`.
- **Connections** (`map_header` connection directives): crossing an edge
-  places the player at `destCoord = curCoord - offset*2` cells on the
-  destination's opposite edge.
- **Movement**: tile-by-tile, 1 px/frame at 60 fps (16 frames per step),
-  tap-to-turn without stepping, hold-to-walk, input locked mid-step.
- **Wild encounters** (`engine/battle/wild_encounters.asm`): per grass
-  step, encounter iff `rand(0..255) < rate`; slot picked via the
-  cumulative buckets 51/102/141/166/191/216/229/242/253/256.
- **Initial object visibility** from `toggleable_objects.asm` (e.g. Oak
-  hidden in his lab), with `show_object`/`hide_object` script commands
-  persisting to the save like the missable-object bits.
-
-## Pokémon math (`engine/pokemon/calc_stats.asm`, `experience.asm`)
-
- `stat = floor(((base + DV)*2 + floor(sqrt(statExp)/4)) * L / 100) + 5`
-  (HP: `+ L + 10`); HP DV from the low bits of the other four DVs.
- Growth curves use the exact cubic coefficients (MEDIUM_SLOW =
-  1.2n^3 - 15n^2 + 100n - 140, etc).
- Exp gain = `floor(baseExp * level / 7)` (x1.5 for trainer battles);
-  defeated species' base stats accumulate as stat experience.
-
-## Battle core (`engine/battle/core.asm`)
-
- Damage: `floor(floor(2L(x2 crit)/5 + 2) * power * atk / def / 50)`
-  capped at 997, `+2`, STAB x1.5, per-matchup type multipliers applied
-  sequentially (x10 fixed point), then `rand(217..255)/255` when
-  damage > 1.
- Critical hits: `rand(0..255) < baseSpeed/2` (x4 for Karate Chop, Razor
-  Leaf, Crabhammer, Slash, capped 255); crits double level and ignore
-  stat stages (gen1_faithful ruleset).
- Accuracy: `rand(0..255) < floor(acc*255/100)` after accuracy/evasion
-  stages,  including the 1/256 miss at 100% accuracy (toggleable via the
-  `modern_clean` ruleset).
- Stat stages use the 25/28/33/40/50/66/100/150/.../400 multiplier table
-  (`data/battle/stat_modifiers.asm`).
- Physical/special split by type (special = Water/Grass/Fire/Ice/
-  Electric/Psychic/Dragon).
- Status: paralysis speed/4 and 25% full para, burn halves physical
-  attack, poison/burn residual = maxHP/16, sleep 1-7 turns waking on the
-  lost turn, freeze permanent (as in Gen 1).
- Turn order: effective speed, coin-flip ties; Quick Attack first,
-  Counter last (Gen 1's only priorities).
- Run formula (`TryRunningFromBattle`): always escape if faster,
-  otherwise `floor(pSpd*32 / (eSpd/4)) + 30*attempts` vs `rand(0..255)`.
- Catching (`ItemUseBall`): ball-specific rand ranges (255/200/150),
-  status bonus 25/12, second roll `floor(maxHP*255/ballFactor) /
-  floor(HP/4)` capped 255.
- Prize money: class base money x last defeated mon's level
-  (`pic_pointers_money.asm`).
-
-## Battle move effects (engine/battle/core.asm, move_effects/*)
-
- Mimic via Metronome (effects.asm:1203-1273): MimicEffect's
-  .letPlayerChooseMove branch snapshots wCurrentMenuItem before the
-  copy-picker menu opens and restores it afterward as the write index
-  into wBattleMonMoves. Since SelectMenuItem always writes
-  wCurrentMenuItem/wPlayerMoveListIndex together at the FIGHT-menu
-  confirm and nothing (including MetronomePickMove) touches either
-  variable during mid-move resolution, the reused value is always the
-  calling move's own slot,  BattleState.lua's applyMimic fallback uses
-  self.moveIndex, frozen the same way, so a called Mimic (e.g. from
-  METRONOME in slot 3) overwrites the calling move's own slot, keeping
-  its PP, matching the Gen 1 quirk exactly.
- Multi-hit distribution 2/2/2/3/3/3/4/5 over rand(0..7); all hits reuse
-  the first damage roll (faithful).
- Recoil = damage/4 (Struggle /2); drain/Dream Eater heal = damage/2;
-  Dream Eater requires sleep.
- Fixed damage: SonicBoom 20, Dragon Rage 40, Seismic Toss/Night Shade =
-  level, Psywave rand(1 .. 1.5xlevel-1).
- OHKO deals 65535, fails against faster targets; Swift skips accuracy;
-  Jump Kick crash = 1 damage on miss; Explosion halves defense and
-  faints the user even on a miss; Hyper Beam skips recharge if it KOs.
- Charge moves (incl. Fly's invulnerable turn), trapping moves locking
-  the victim out of its turns, Thrash's 3-4 turn lock ending in
-  confusion, Bide's 2-3 turn store-and-double, Rage's permanent lock
-  with attack-up on being hit, Counter/Quick Attack priority.
- Side-effect chances: 26/256 (10%), 77/256 (30%), stat-down side
-  effects 85/256; Twineedle 20% poison.
- Substitute costs 1/4 max HP, absorbs damage, blocks status/stat/side
-  effects; screens double effective defense (bypassed by crits); Focus
-  Energy keeps the Gen 1 quarter-rate bug under gen1_faithful.
- Status: sleep 1-7 turns (wake turn is lost), freeze permanent, burn
-  halves physical attack, paralysis speed/4 + 25% full para, Toxic's
-  rising counter, Leech Seed transfer, confusion 2-5 turns with 50%
-  40-power typeless self-hit.
- Trainer Pokémon use fixed DVs 9/8/8/8 (TrainerAI.asm convention).
-
-## Items (engine/items/item_effects.asm)
-
- Potion family 20/50/200/full; drinks 50/60/80; status heals per item;
-  Revive half HP; Rare Candy = exact next-level exp with HP delta kept;
-  evolution stones use the extracted evos data; TMs single-use / HMs
-  reusable, gated by the species' real tmhm list; Repel 100/200/250
-  steps blocking wilds below the lead's level; Escape Rope returns to
-  the last heal point.
- Snorlax (Route 12/16) only wakes via `ItemUsePokeFlute` (item-use
-  menu, adjacent to it, not yet beaten),  talking to it with the POKé
-  FLUTE merely in the bag has no effect (`engine/items/item_effects.asm`,
-  `scripts/Route12.asm`/`Route16.asm`).
- Mart inventories come from the script_mart lists per clerk; selling
-  pays half price; TM prices from tm_prices.asm.
-
-## Overworld field systems
-
- Ledges from ledge_tiles.asm (facing + standing tile + ledge tile +
-  input direction -> two-cell hop).
- Counter talk-through uses the tileset's counter tiles
-  (tileset_headers.asm), which is how mart clerks and nurses work.
- Trainer sight (`home/trainers.asm` CheckFightingMapTrainers +
-  `engine/overworld/trainer_sight.asm`): extracted per-trainer range,
-  inclusive tiles along the facing line; detection runs only on
-  tile-aligned frames, before input handling, so on detection the d-pad
-  is dead (wJoyIgnore) and the player freezes on the spotted tile; the
-  "!" holds 60 frames (EmotionBubble), then the trainer walks
-  distance−1 steps to the adjacent tile (none if already adjacent) and
-  uses the real battle/won/after dialogue from the trainer headers.
-  Sight is a pure screen-coordinate comparison with no line-of-sight
-  obstruction check (TrainerEngage / CheckSpriteCanSeePlayer): an
-  aligned in-range trainer engages through interposed NPCs and
-  unwalkable tiles, and the walk-up (TrainerWalkUpToPlayer, a fixed
-  distance−1 MoveSprite_ script) has no collision either, so the
-  trainer simply walks/overlaps through anything on the line,  as OAM
-  sprites overlap on hardware.
- Elevator rides (`engine/overworld/elevator.asm` ShakeElevator →
-  `src/world/ElevatorShake.lua`): choosing a floor stops the music,
-  bounces the BG scroll ±1 px around rest for 100 two-frame cycles with
-  SFX_COLLISION retriggered every cycle, restores the scroll, plays
-  SFX_SAFARI_ZONE_PA to completion, and restarts the map theme before
-  the floor warp. Lead-in delays kept per script: 9 frames of Delay3s
-  inside ShakeElevator (Celadon farjps in), 12 with the Silph/Rocket
-  scripts' extra Delay3. The offset applies to the BG layer only, 
-  sprites are OAM and stay put. After the ride the port no longer
-  jump-cuts: choosing a floor rewrites the car's own exit-warp entries
-  to that floor (`engine/events/elevator.asm` DisplayElevatorFloorMenu
-  .UpdateWarp, per scripts/SilphCoElevator.asm /
-  CeladonMartElevator.asm / RocketHideoutElevator.asm), then the player
-  is walked out through the doorway onto that warp (ow:scriptMove →
-  ow:takeWarp), like the original.
- Field-move gates (engine/overworld/field_move_messages.asm +
-  start_sub_menus.asm): IsSurfingAllowed ported exactly,  SURF refuses
-  with _CyclingIsFunText while the Cycling Road's BIT_ALWAYS_ON_BIKE is
-  armed (save.forcedBike: set on the Route 16/18 forced-bike tiles,
-  cleared by the gates, Fly, dungeon/blackout warps; the forced mount
-  itself is silent, as in CheckForceBikeOrSurf) and with
-  _CurrentTooFastText on Seafoam B4F's stairs square (7,11) until both
-  EVENT_SEAFOAM4 boulders are down. Re-selecting SURF while surfing is
-  ItemUseSurfboard's dismount attempt: steps ashore silently if the
-  facing tile is land-passable and unoccupied, else "There's no place
-  to get off!",  and the menu closes either way (wActionResult stays 1).
-  STRENGTH's first page auto-advances after the cry + Delay3 (no
-  prompt); "can move boulders." prompts. The GBPalWhiteOutWithDelay3
-  white blink plays on every .goBackToMap closer: Strength, surf
-  mount/dismount/no-place, Flash (after its text), and Dig/Teleport
-  (Cut closes without a blink, per the asm).
- Wild slot table + rate per map; water encounter tables used while
-  surfing.
- Cut-tree block swaps from cut_tree_blocks.asm; surfable tilesets from
-  water_tilesets.asm (water tile $14, plus $32 on SHIP_PORT).
-
-## Story events (data/scripts/story.lua and friends)
-
- Every hand-ported script cites its scripts/*.asm source and reuses the
-  real extracted text and event-flag names.
- Custom flag names (audited equivalent): three port-internal flag
-  families have no pokered EVENT constant but mirror the original's
-  state exactly. EVENT_TRADED_* are per-trade names for
-  wCompletedInGameTradeFlags bits (engine/events/in_game_trades.asm:
-  FLAG_TEST before the offer → after-trade text, FLAG_SET on completion;
-  dialogset text families, party-menu pick, the received mon joins the
-  end of the party, ConnectCable→anim→TradedFor→Thanks all ported).
-  EVENT_GOT_EEVEE is bookkeeping alongside the real guard,  the hidden
-  ball object (scripts/CeladonMansionRoofHouse.asm HideObject, ≡
-  save.objectToggles),  and self-heals older saves; a full party+box
-  keeps the ball claimable (_BoxIsFullText). EVENT_BEAT_SS_ANNE_RIVAL
-  stands in for scripts/SSAnne2F.asm's saved wSSAnne2FCurScript NOOP
-  progression, including the lose-and-retrigger path (flag only set on
-  victory). Names are kept for save compatibility. Coverage:
-  tests/parity_trade_gift.lua.
- The Pallet Town intro follows pokered exactly: the trigger is
-  PalletTownDefaultScript's wYCoord==1 check, Oak appears at (8,5) and
-  takes FindPathToPlayer's zigzag to one tile below the player, and the
-  escort is RLEList_ProfOakWalkToLab against the reverse-order playback
-  of RLEList_PlayerWalkToLab (the 17th simulated press is eaten by the
-  door-warp frame), followed by the OaksLab walk-in and choose-mon
-  exchange with map music deferred like BIT_NO_MAP_MUSIC. Oak's speech
-  ends with the real shrink: RedPicFront collapses through the extracted
-  ShrinkPic1/ShrinkPic2 into the overworld walking sprite on
-  OakSpeech.asm's frame timings (SFX_SHRINK, 4/4/20/50-frame beats, fade
-  to white), with the closing text box held on screen. The escort's
-  scripted steps run 16 frames/tile (chained single-tile scriptMoves
-  start back-to-back, no idle frame); Oak marches in place on the door
-  mat for RLEList_ProfOakWalkToLab's trailing NPC_CHANGE_FACING beat
-  (movement.asm ChangeFacingDirection → zero-delta TryWalking); the "!"
-  EmotionBubble overlaps the still-shown "Hey! Wait!" box
-  (PalletTownOakText prints without a button wait, then DelayFrames 10 →
-  EmotionBubble before the box clears); and the shrink beat ramps the
-  music to silence over ~70 frames (wAudioFadeOutControl = 10;
-  home/fade_audio.asm FadeOutAudio steps rAUDVOL 7→0) rather than
-  hard-stopping.
- The 12 disguised static wild battles (Power Plant Voltorb/Electrode +
-  Zapdos, Articuno, Moltres, Mewtwo) follow TalkToTrainer/
-  EndTrainerBattle exactly: cry + battle text, after-battle text without
-  a rematch once EVENT_BEAT_* is set, and the flag/HideObject on any
-  non-blackout result (fleeing loses the legendary, as in Gen 1).
-  Snorlax hides before its battle and only shows the calmed-down/
-  returned line when not caught. Zapdos/Articuno/Moltres/Mewtwo's
-  battle text is a text_far string ending in a bare "...@" terminator
-  (no <DONE>/<PROMPT>) followed by text_asm PlayCry + WaitForSoundToFinish:
-  the box types with no ▼ prompt and auto-closes only once the cry
-  finishes, never on a button press,  ported via `Commands.play_cry`
-  stashing the pending cry for the following `Commands.show_text` to
-  consume as the TextBox's auto-close sound. Voltorb/Electrode's battle
-  text has no PlayCry call in the ROM at all and keeps the ordinary
-  button-wait close.
- Gym leader repeat dialogue (data/scripts/gyms.lua): each leader's
-  text_asm branches on EVENT_BEAT_<LEADER>,  pre-badge talk prints the
-  pre-battle text and engages the leader battle (badge/TM via
-  data/scripts/victories.lua); post-badge talk prints the leader's
-  post-battle advice text (Misty's is her TM11 explanation). The
-  originals' middle branch (beaten but TM not handed over,
-  CheckEventReuseA EVENT_GOT_TM*) is ported too: the victory's GiveItem
-  goes through the bag's capacity check, a full bag shows the leader's
-  "make room" text instead of the received lines and leaves
-  EVENT_GOT_TM* unset, and talking to the leader re-runs the ReceiveTM
-  script until the TM goes in (#797). Giovanni's
-  farewell (`ViridianGymGiovanniText` .afterBeat) hides him inside a
-  fade-to-black/fade-in Transition matching ViridianGym.asm's
-  GBFadeOutToBlack → HideObject → GBFadeInFromBlack, persisted
-  permanently via TOGGLE_VIRIDIAN_GYM_GIOVANNI in save.objectToggles.
- Cable Club receptionists (TX_SCRIPT_CABLE_CLUB_RECEPTIONIST →
-  CableClubNPC, all 12 Pokémon Centers): welcome, pre-Pokédex "making
-  preparations" brush-off, and the apply/save YES-NO are ported;
-  accepting saves the game and opens the link menu, declining prints
-  "Please come again!".
- Cinnabar fossil deposit follows GiveFossilToCinnabarLab: a menu of
-  carried fossils (FossilsList order), SeesFossilText with a Yes/No
-  confirm, ComeAgainText on either cancel.
- Hall of Fame induction: each party mon's front sprite scrolls in from
-  the left at 4px/frame, matching HoFShowMonOrPlayer's .ScrollPic
-  front-pic phase (engine/movie/hall_of_fame.asm); the back-pic's
-  enlarged/blurred pre-wipe is a VRAM-scroll-register trick not
-  replicated in this sprite-based renderer. The finale
-  (HoFDisplayPlayerStats) shows trainer name, play time, money, POKéDEX
-  seen/owned, and Prof. Oak's rating text (engine/events/
-  pokedex_rating.asm DexRatingsTable) from real save data.
- End credits + post-game reset (engine/movie/credits.asm,
-  scripts/HallOfFame.asm): screen-by-screen CreditsOrder pages (hlcoord
-  9,6 + signed columns), FadeInCredits' 4x5-frame ramp, 90/110/120/140-
-  frame holds, DisplayCreditsMon's 27-frame 8px/frame silhouette wipe,
-  LoadCopyrightTiles' three-row block, THE END at (4,8). While THE END
-  is up the HoF script autosaves (wLastBlackoutMap := PALLET_TOWN; the
-  player is saved in the HALL_OF_FAME room), waits 600 frames, then A/B
-  triggers `jp Init`,  the boot sequence replays into the title screen.
- Victory Road's boulder switches replicate the original's
-  ReplaceTileBlock data: 1F boulder at (17,13) -> block $1D at (4,6);
-  2F boulders at (1,16)/(9,16) -> $15 at (3,4) and $1D at (11,7); 3F
-  boulder at (3,5) -> $1D at (3,5), and the (23,15) hole drops the
-  boulder to 2F (hide/show toggle). Barriers are re-applied from flags
-  on map entry, exactly like the originals' map-load scripts.
- Item balls, static legendary encounters and trainer rewards
-  (badges + gym TMs, the Silph Giovanni flag) are generic systems driven
-  by the extracted object args and a hand-ported reward table
-  (data/scripts/victories.lua).
- In-game trades use the real data/events/trades.asm table (species in,
-  species out, original nickname).
-
-## Safari game (engine/events/hidden_events/safari_game.asm + engine/battle)
-
- ¥500 buys 30 SAFARI BALLs and 502 steps (scripts/SafariZoneGate.asm
-  sets `wSafariSteps = 502`); steps count down on the four outdoor zone
-  maps and hitting 0 (or throwing the last ball) ends the game at the
-  gate.
- Safari battles offer BALL / BAIT / ROCK / RUN; no player Pokémon
-  acts.  The working catch rate starts at the species rate; BAIT halves
-  it and adds 1-5 to the bait factor (zeroing the escape factor); ROCK
-  doubles it (cap 255) and adds 1-5 to the escape factor (zeroing bait)
-  -- ItemUseBait/ItemUseRock in engine/items/item_effects.asm.
- Each turn one factor decays ("is eating!" / "is angry!"); when the
-  escape factor decays to 0 the catch rate resets to the species rate
-  (PrintSafariZoneBattleText, engine/battle/safari_zone.asm).
- Flee check (engine/battle/core.asm): `b = 2 * (speed % 256)`; the mon
-  always flees when speed > 127; while eating `b /= 4`, while angry
-  `b = min(255, 2b)`; it flees when `rand(0,255) < b`.
- The SAFARI BALL rolls the ULTRA_BALL rand range (0-150) in the Gen 1
-  catch formula, against the BAIT/ROCK-modified rate.
-
-## Slot machines (engine/slots/slot_machine.asm)
-
- The three reels are the extracted 18-symbol wheel sequences
-  (data/events/slot_machine_wheels.asm); bet 1 plays the middle row,
-  bet 2 adds top+bottom, bet 3 adds both diagonals.
- Payouts: 7-7-7 = 300, BAR = 100, CHERRY = 8, MOUSE/FISH/BIRD = 15
-  (SlotRewardPointers).
- Per-wheel stop/slip rules ported exactly: wheel 1 spends up to 4 slip
-  charges, slipping past a centred CHERRY (in seven-and-bar mode it
-  always slips all 4 via pokered's `cp HIGH(SLOTS7)` bug); wheel 2 stops
-  as soon as wheels 1+2 line up any potential match (pairs checked b/b,
-  b/m, m/m, t/m, t/t) or, in seven-and-bar mode, on 7/BAR; wheel 3 rolls
-  past forbidden matches free and burns wSlotMachineRerollCounter
-  charges on winnable no-match spins, animated tile-by-tile. Luck flags
-  (SetFlags): seven-and-bar mode is sticky across spins; r==0 arms 60
-  allow-matches charges; a BAR win clears flags; a 300 win zeroes the
-  counter and clears flags with probability 128/256; 8/15 wins burn one
-  charge. Lines are checked in asm order with the first match taken;
-  A-presses are ignored while a prior wheel's slip counter is nonzero.
-  Machine and COIN CASE texts are byte-identical
-  (_GameCorner*Text; AbleToPlaySlotsCheck's no-coins gate included).
- Flow brackets: PromptUserToPlaySlots "A slot machine! Want to play?"
-  (YesNoChoice) and MainSlotMachineLoop's "One more go?" (TwoOptionMenu);
-  the x3/x2/x1 coin menu (CoinMultiplierSlotMachineText) defaults its
-  cursor to x3, bet = 3 - menu item. Static frame: the real
-  SlotMachineMap (gfx/slots/slots.tilemap, 20x12 tile ids < $25) blitted
-  from red_slots_1.png, extracted as field.slotSymbols.tilemap
-  (tools/extract/gfx.py extract_slots). Win flash:
-  SlotMachine_CheckForMatches.flashScreenLoop flips rBGP (shade 3->2) b
-  times at 5 frames each, b = 20/8/4/2 for the 300/100/15/8 rewards
-  (SlotReward{300,100,8,15}Func). Payout drip:
-  SlotMachine_PayCoinsToPlayer credits one coin every 8 frames (4 for a
-  7/BAR), SFX_SLOTS_REWARD per coin, rOBP0 symbol flicker every 5 coins.
-
-## Spinner arrow tiles (scripts/*.asm arrow movement tables)
-
- Viridian Gym and Rocket Hideout B2F/B3F keep per-coordinate RLE
-  movement lists (map_coord_movement); each list executes backwards
-  from its terminator (DecodeArrowMovementRLE), sliding the player and
-  chaining onto further arrows.
-
-## Cries (data/pokemon/cries.asm, audio/engine_1.asm)
-
- Each species = a base cry (one of 38 SFX_CryXX streams) + a frequency
-  modifier added to every note's frequency register
-  (Audio1_ApplyFrequencyModifier) + a tempo modifier
-  (`sfx tempo = $80 + length`, Audio1_SetSfxTempo).  All 151 cries are
-  rendered offline with those modifiers applied and play on battle
-  entry and Pokédex pages.
-
-## Hidden events & facility puzzles
-
- Card key doors (engine/events/card_key.asm): door tiles $18/$24
-  (SILPH_CO_11F: $5e) replaced with block $0e ($03 on 11F).
- Vermilion trash cans
-  (engine/events/hidden_events/vermilion_gym_trash.asm): the first-lock
-  can re-rolls on every Vermilion City map load (VermilionCity_Script's
-  Random & $e, even cans) and after every failed second-can guess; the
-  second lock uses the GymTrashCans table verbatim, including the
-  underflow bug that can place it in can 0 regardless of adjacency; a
-  wrong pick resets EVENT_1ST_LOCK_OPENED and re-rolls immediately; only
-  SuccessText3 prints on completion; the gym door block at (2,2) is
-  $24 closed / $5 open (scripts/VermilionGym.asm). SuccessText1/
-  SuccessText3/FailText play SFX_SWITCH/GO_INSIDE/DENIED from each
-  text's text_asm tail after the text prints (DisplayTextID's
-  WaitForTextScrollButtonPress then holds the box), so the port fires
-  them from an onDone on the TextBox, landing the beep as the box
-  closes rather than as it opens.
- Menu close-keys follow pokered's per-menu wMenuWatchedKeys mask, not
-  a single global rule: the shared Menu base (src/ui/Menu.lua) closes
-  on B only, and START-close is opt-in via opts.startCloses. Only the
-  start menu sets it, matching engine/menus/draw_start_menu.asm's
-  PAD_DOWN|PAD_UP|PAD_START|PAD_B|PAD_A; OptionsMenu also closes on
-  START via its own loop, matching engine/menus/main_menu.asm
-  DisplayOptionMenu's explicit B_PAD_B/B_PAD_START checks. Every other
-  menu (bag/PC item lists PAD_A|PAD_B|PAD_SELECT, party menu /
-  BUY-SELL-QUIT / USE-TOSS submenu / PC menus / Pokedex side menu
-  PAD_A|PAD_B) leaves PAD_START unwatched, so START does not close
-  them. START never replays SFX_PRESS_AB (HandleMenuInput_ beeps only
-  for the PAD_A|PAD_B branch).
- Old man tutorial hollow cursor: the item list is itself scripted in
-  pokered (DisplayListMenuID's old-man branch, home/list_menu.asm:65-91)
- ,  no input is read; the filled '▶' hovers POKé BALL for 80 frames,
-  auto-presses A, then PlaceUnfilledArrowMenuCursor leaves the hollow
-  '▷' on that row until ItemUseBall tears the list down for the throw.
-  Ported via ListMenu's opts.script hook (src/ui/ListMenu.lua) and
-  BattleState:openOldManBag driving the same beats. The MissingNo./
-  wGrassRate side effects of the OLD MAN name swap are not modeled, 
-  see docs/gameboy-hardware-limitations.md.
- Gym statues (gym_statues.asm): plaque with the city/leader from each
-  gym's script; the player joins WINNING TRAINERS with the badge.
- Route 22 gate / Route 23 guards: real trigger rows, badge order
-  (EARTH down to CASCADE) and EVENT_PASSED_*_CHECK skip flags.
- Game Corner poster (scripts/GameCorner.asm): block (8,2) $2a -> $43
-  on EVENT_FOUND_ROCKET_HIDEOUT.
- Seafoam Islands (scripts/SeafoamIslandsB3F/B4F.asm): reversed-RLE
-  current paths, Seafoam4HolesCoords boulder holes setting the
-  EVENT_SEAFOAM*_BOULDER*_DOWN_HOLE pairs, the forced pool exit rows.
- Rock Tunnel darkness: wMapPalOffset = 6 on entry, cleared by Flash
-  (BOULDERBADGE) or leaving (home/overworld.asm).
-
-## Battle extras
-
- GROWL/ROAR (GetMoveSound/IsCryMove, engine/battle/animations.asm
-  ~2196): the move's own MoveSoundTable tempo byte (Growl $c0, Roar
-  $40, both pitch $00) layers onto the cry via `Sound.playMoveCry`'s
-  `Source:setPitch(256/(128+tempoMod))`. Transform (engine/gfx/
-  palettes.asm DeterminePaletteID, bit TRANSFORMED): the swapped-in pic
-  is tinted PAL_GRAYMON via `PaletteFX.monPal(data, species,
-  transformed)`, not the copied species' own palette, in
-  `BattleState:speciesSprite`. Growl (DoGrowlSpecialEffects,
-  animations.asm ~928): AnimPlayer's GROWL frame-block branch keeps a
-  `growlNoteTrail` snapshot so each block's emitted sprites include the
-  previous block's note copy alongside the current one (GROWL skips
-  AnimationCleanOAM between blocks per the `cp GROWL` check ~line 145);
-  ROAR is unaffected since the asm never applies this quirk to it.
- Master/Ultra ball tosses flicker the OBJ palette: DoBallTossSpecial
-  Effects (engine/battle/animations.asm:685) XORs rOBP0 with %00111100
-  after every frame block while wCurItem <= ULTRA_BALL, so the 11 toss
-  blocks alternate the $F0/$CC shade maps starting normal; PlayAnimation
-  pushes/pops rOBP0 around each subanimation row, so the ambient
-  palette returns when the toss ends. GREAT/POKE/SAFARI balls never
-  flicker, and the toss arc always follows wCurItem via
-  TossBallAnimation, including the ghost-dodge throw.
- Anim-layer OBJ colorization is per 8x8 attribute cell: the SGB's
-  ATTR_BLK regions color the composited DMG picture per cell, not per
-  OAM entry, so an anim sprite overlapping a zone boundary takes each
-  cell's palette on the pixels inside it,  AnimPlayer samples the zone
-  under every cell an 8x8 tile touches and repaints differing cells
-  through a cell-clipped scissor (aligned tiles stay one draw).
- Ball wobbles (ItemUseBall): Z = X*Y/255 + status2 with
-  Y = rate*100/ballFactor2; <10/<30/<70 -> 0/1/2 shakes, else 3, with
-  the matching ItemUseBallText01-04 lines.
- Trainer class AI (data/trainers/ai_pointers.asm +
-  engine/battle/trainer_ai.asm): per-class item/switch routines with
-  wAICount uses per Pokémon, ported to data/scripts/ai_classes.lua.
- Exp (engine/battle/experience.asm): baseExp*level/7 divided by the
-  participant count, x1.5 for trainers, x1.5 for traded mons; stat exp
-  in full to each participant.
- Move sounds: data/moves/sfx.asm (sound + pitch/tempo per move). The
-  pitch/tempo modifiers are applied at synthesis time
-  (Audio2_ApplyFrequencyModifier adds pitch to every frequency write;
-  Audio2_SetSfxTempo scales tone-channel note lengths, noise skips it), 
-  128 variant WAVs keyed "<sfx>@<pitch><tempo>" that Sound.playMove
-  selects, exact rather than a playback-rate approximation. Per-row
-  sounds fire as PlayAnimation does; GROWL/ROAR (IsCryMove) play the
-  attacker's cry. Hit sounds by effectiveness (Damage/Super/NotVery).
- Screen-effect animations (engine/battle/animations.asm +
-  engine/gfx/screen_effects.asm): every SE_* is implemented per-routine, 
-  FlashScreen/FlashScreenLong (the FlashScreenLongSGB 12-entry table),
-  Dark/Light/DarkenMon/Reset palette ops (shade-map permutations of the
-  SGB zone palettes), all SlideMon variants, ShakeBackAndForth,
-  BoundUpAndDown, SquishMonPic, Minimize (real MinimizedMonSprite),
-  spiral/shoot-balls/water-droplets/leaves emitters compiled from the
-  asm trajectories, per-animation-id frame-block flashes (Explosion,
-  Rock Slide's rumbles, Blizzard's cadence...), AnimationWavyScreen with
-  true per-scanline offsets, PredefShakeScreenHorizontally/Vertically
-  and ShakeEnemyHUD. SE rows carry the faithful blocking durations.
- SGB battle colorization (SetPal_Battle, BlkPacket_Battle,
-  SetAnimationPalette): the battle screen is colorized by zone,  player
-  HUD, enemy HUD, player mon + message box, enemy mon; trainer front
-  pics and the player/old-man back pics take PAL_MEWMON (both species
-  IDs are zero at the intro, so MonsterPalettes[0]); the ghost keeps the
-  disguised species' palette; attack animation sprites and thrown balls
-  are colored through the OBJ palettes (wAnimPalette $F0 on SGB, ambient
-  $E4, OBP1 $6C). Headless/no-shader environments fall back to the flat
-  pipeline.
- Mimic resolves mid-move (MimicEffect): accuracy first, then the
-  player's copy menu (enemy/link copy a random slot); the copy
-  overwrites only the slot's move ID,  PP is shared with Mimic's slot, 
-  and reverts on switch/battle end.
- Old man tutorial (DisplayBattleMenu's BATTLE_TYPE_OLD_MAN branch): the
-  real scripted cursor,  ▶ beside FIGHT for 80 frames, beside ITEM for
-  50, ITEM force-selected into the POKé BALL x50 list; the throw always
-  catches at full HP (item_effects.asm jumps straight to .captured, 3
-  shakes, no party/dex add, no ball consumed); backing out of the bag
-  replays the script. The old man never attacks,  the original tutorial
-  is menu navigation + a guaranteed catch, nothing more.
-
-## Link battles (lockstep)
-
- Both sides simulate with a shared Park-Miller RNG stream (host deals
-  the seed), identical pack/unpack-clamped party copies, no badge
-  boosts, and a mirrored speed-tie roll (the guest inverts it); a
-  canonical host-side-first state hash is exchanged per turn and any
-  mismatch ends the match as a draw.
-
-## Music (audio/engine_1.asm)
-
- Note duration: `frames = length * speed * tempo / 0x100` with
-  fractional carry, at 60 fps (Audio1_note_length / CalculateDelay).

-# ROM Extraction Notes
-
-There are two ROM-only extraction paths:
-
- The packaged app uses `src/import/RomImporter.lua` and
-  `src/import/RomExtractor.lua` on first boot.
- Developers can run `tools/build_data.py --rom <path> [--clean]` to generate
-  data in the source tree for audit and parity work.
-
-Both paths read only the supplied ROM and the checked-in
-`tools/rom_manifest.json`. Neither invokes RGBDS, Git, or a disassembly.
-
-## Validation
-
-Only the canonical US Pokemon Red ROM is supported. SHA-1 is checked before
-any cached output is removed or written.
-
-## Decoded Data
-
-| Area | ROM data |
-| --- | --- |
-| world | map headers, block maps, connections, warps, signs, objects |
-| tiles | tileset graphics, blocksets, collision, door and warp tile lists |
-| text | 2,584 text command streams and RAM/number substitutions |
-| Pokemon | names, stats, evolutions, learnsets, Dex data, compressed pictures |
-| battle | moves, detailed animations, OAM frames/tiles, effects, type chart, palettes, trainer parties/AI/pictures |
-| inventory | item names, prices, key-item flags, TM/HM data |
-| encounters | grass and water wild tables |
-| UI | fonts, icons, title/intro, trainer card, town map, slots, field effects |
-| audio | music, SFX and cry headers, channel programs, wave instruments |
-
-The Python and Lua picture decompressors implement the Gen 1 `pic` format.
-Graphics are converted to RGBA PNGs. OAM artwork uses transparent color 0;
-battle pictures use edge-connected white matting so white interior details
-remain visible.
-
-The in-app importer stores three audio ROM banks as a 48 KiB
-`programs.bin`. `src/core/ChipAudio.lua` interprets the channel bytecode and
-synthesizes music as a queueable stream; SFX and cries are synthesized on
-demand. This avoids shipping or generating a large WAV/OGG tree.
-
-## Metadata Boundary
-
-Names, dimensions, enum ordering, Lua script hooks, and hand-ported field
-behavior do not survive compilation in a form the Lua runtime can infer.
-Those relationships are bundled in `rom_manifest.json`. The manifest stores
-no dialogue strings, images, audio samples, or ROM bytes.
-
-`tools/make_rom_manifest.py` and `tools/verify_rom_data.py` are developer audit
-tools. They are not used by the packaged game.

-## Reimplemented unused Prof. Oak and Rocket Chief battles
-
-The original ROM defines trainer data for `PROF_OAK` and `CHIEF`
-(`data/trainers/parties.asm`) but never attaches either to an NPC, so
-both battles are unreachable in the real game. This project makes them
-fightable after the Hall of Fame:
-
- Prof. Oak battles you in Pallet Town once `EVENT_BEAT_CHAMPION_RIVAL`
-  is set, using `ProfOakData`'s three starter-matched teams (the team is
-  picked by the type that counters your starter, mirroring the rival).
- The Celadon Game Corner Chief battles you in his house post-game.
-  `ChiefData` is empty in the ROM, so `OPP_CHIEF` is given a
-  reconstructed party.

-This is an intentional divergence: neither battle can be triggered in the

-## Reimplemented unused Silph Co. card-key doors
-
-`engine/events/card_key.asm` and the unused `CardKeyTable1/2/3` coordinate
-lists (`data/events/card_key_coords.asm`) describe locked doors for Silph
-Co. floors 2F-11F, but no retail `.blk` map layout ever places the closed
-door block at those coordinates, so the card key check is dead code in
-the original game. This project stamps the closed door block (`$54`/`$5f`
-on floors 2F-10F, `$20` on 11F) over each of the 20 door coordinates on
-map load, and swaps it for the open block once that door's
-`EVENT_SILPH_CO_n_UNLOCKED_DOORn` flag is set (using the key from a Team

-# Launcher
-
-The launcher is `src/import/RomImporter.lua`, the first-run / title screen
-that runs before `Game:load`. Besides ROM import (see the file's own header)
-it hosts a tabbed shell covering per-game save slots and a mod manager. This
-file documents the runtime model; the visual spec lives separately.
-
-## Android multi-ROM / mod / save import
-
-On Android, `love.system.pickFile([kind])` opens the Storage Access Framework
-picker (`GameActivity.showFilePicker`); the chosen file is copied into the app
-save directory as:
-
-| `kind` | Destination |
-| --- | --- |
-| nil / `"rom"` | `picked_rom.gb` (open) |
-| `"mod"` | `picked_mod.zip` (open) |
-| `"sav"` / `"save"` | `picked_save.sav` (open) |
-
-Export uses a separate API: `love.system.createFile(suggestedName)` →
-`GameActivity.showCreateDocument` (`ACTION_CREATE_DOCUMENT`), which copies
-staged `pending_export.sav` to the user-chosen URI and writes `export_done.flag`
-for the launcher to acknowledge on refocus.
-
-`RomImporter` then imports on refocus / Choose:
-
- **ROMs** via `findPendingRom`: only a 1 MiB `.gb` whose SHA-1 maps to a
-  version that is **not** yet ready counts as pending. A leftover
-  `picked_rom.gb` from Red therefore cannot block Blue's Choose (issue #167).
- **Mods** via `findPendingMod`: Prefer `picked_mod.zip`, or (on Choose) any
-  other `.zip` at the save-dir root (USB copy).
- **Saves** via `findPendingSav`: Prefer `picked_save.sav`, or (on Choose) any
-  other `.sav` at the save-dir root.
-
-After a successful import the consumed save-dir file is removed.
-
-**Manual check (device/emulator):** import Red → switch to Blue → Choose →
-system file picker must appear (not a silent Red re-extract) → pick Blue →
-Blue becomes ready beside Red. On the MODS tab, Import mod .zip must open the
-same system picker and install the chosen archive on return.
-
-## Tab structure
-
-`self.tab` is one of `"red"`, `"blue"`, `"yellow"`, `"mods"`. The tab bar
-draws one chip per game plus a MODS chip and rebuilds `self.tabRects` every
-frame so `mousepressed` can dispatch clicks; switching tabs mid-import is
-allowed (a dropped ROM still routes by SHA-1 regardless of which tab shows).
-On **NX**, **Scan again** is stricter: it only starts an import whose SHA-1
-matches the open game tab, so a shared `imports/` folder with Red+Yellow
-cannot jump Yellow → Red.
-
- A game tab (`_drawGamePanel`) shows the ROM card, the SAVE FILES card, the
-  Play button, and the SAVE SLOT card in a responsive two-column grid (see
-  Responsiveness). The MODS tab (`_drawModsPanel`) shows the mod list instead.
- The self-updater banner (`self.Check`, see `docs/updater.md`) draws as a
-  centered pill in a reserved band just above the footer, on every tab. That
-  position is unchanged by this redesign, so `docs/updater.md` needed no edits.
-
-## Save slot model
-
-All slot I/O lives in `src/core/SaveData.lua` and goes through the same fs
-abstraction (`persistFs`) every other save/options call uses, so portable
-mode (an `io.*` filesystem used when `portable.txt` marks the install)
-keeps working unchanged.
-
- **Files.** A version's playthroughs live under `saves/<version>/`, one file
-  per slot: `saves/<version>/slot1.lua` plus a rolling `.bak` and staged
-  `.tmp` witness (`slotNames`), mirroring the write/recovery discipline
-  `SaveData.save`/`load` already use for the flat legacy file. Slot ids match
-  `slot%d+`; `createSlot` allocates one past the highest existing number so a
-  reused id can never collide with a lingering file.
- **Registry.** The ordered slot list and which one is active persist in
-  `options.lua` (via the existing `SaveData.loadOptions`/`saveOptions`):
-  `options.saveSlots = { [version] = { list = {"slot1", ...}, active = "slot1" } }`.
-  Custom slot labels (#205) live alongside them in the same registry:
-  `options.saveSlots[version].names = { slot1 = "Nuzlocke" }`, written by
-  `SaveData.renameSlot` (trimmed; an empty label clears it) and surfaced on
-  each `listSlots` row as `label` (the launcher row shows `label`, falling
-  back to the player name). `deleteSlot` drops the label with the slot.
-  Renaming never touches the save file, so an empty slot can be labeled.
-  On desktop, right-clicking a slot row opens the inline rename modal
-  (Enter commits, Esc cancels); touch has no secondary button, so the
-  affordance is desktop-only.
- **Active slot resolution.** `saveNames(version)`, the function every
-  existing caller (`TitleState` hasSave/load/save, recovery order) already
-  goes through, now resolves the *active* slot instead of a fixed flat name.
-  Resolved once per version per process (`ensureVersionSlots`, cached in
-  `activeSlotCache`/`slotsChecked`): a registry entry wins; otherwise a lazy
-  legacy migration may create one; otherwise the flat legacy path is used
-  (`save.lua` / `save_blue.lua`), so a pre-slots install keeps working as before.
- **Legacy migration.** One-time per version, lazy on first
-  `listSlots`/`load`/`saveNames` call (`tryMigrateLegacy`): if a flat legacy
-  file exists and no `saves/<version>/` registry does, its main + `.bak` are
-  copied into `saves/<version>/slot1.lua(.bak)`, verified readable
-  (`decodeSlot`: main, then `.tmp`, then `.bak`), and only then are the
-  originals removed and `slot1` registered as active. A copy that fails to
-  verify leaves the originals in place; migration never loses data.
-
-The launcher-facing API:
- `SaveData.listSlots(version)` -> array of `{id, exists, name, meta}` for
-  every registered slot. `name` is the save's player name, or `nil` for an
-  empty slot; `meta` is `{badges, timeText, dexCount}` (the same fields the
-  title screen's `ContinueInfo` shows) or `nil`. The pure part,
-  `SaveData.slotSummary(save)`, is unit-testable with no filesystem.
- `SaveData.setActiveSlot(version, slotId)` registers the id if new, persists
-  it as active, and updates the process cache so the very next save/load
-  lands there. The launcher calls this the moment a slot row is clicked
-  (`RomImporter:_selectSlot`); pressing Play needs no signature change, since
-  `Game.lua`/`main.lua` still just call `SaveData.load()`/`save()`.
- `SaveData.createSlot(version)` -> new slot id, registered but with **no
-  save file written**. An empty slot means the title screen offers NEW GAME
-  only, which needs no further changes.
- `SaveData.deleteSlot(version, slotId)` removes the slot's
-  main/`.bak`/`.tmp` files, drops it from the registry, and if it was active
-  points active at another remaining slot (or clears active when the list is
-  empty). The launcher's SAVE SLOT panel Delete control calls this.
-
-## Launcher mod manager
-
-`src/mods/LauncherMods.lua` is a launcher-only read of the mod set. It runs
-before `Game:load`, so **it never loads a mod's entry chunk**; only
-`manifest.json` is read and validated (`src/mods/Manifest.validate`), the way
-`Loader:_discover` finds mods without running them. The real loader
-(`src/mods/Loader.lua`) still owns the actual load at boot.
-
- `LauncherMods.list()` scans `mods/` one level deep (first id wins on a
-  duplicate) and returns one row per mod:
-  `{id, name, version, badge, description, enabled, status, statusDetail}`.
-  `badge` is the manifest's `category`, falling back to `profile`, then
-  `"MOD"`, uppercased. `enabled` reads `options.mods[id]` (missing means
-  enabled, matching the loader's own default).
- `status` is `"ok"`, `"warn"`, or `"conflict"`, computed by the pure
-  `LauncherMods.deriveList`/`statusFor` against `ManagerState.resolveToggle`
-  and the validated manifests: `conflict` when enabling this mod collides
-  with another enabled one; `warn` for an out-of-range `game_version` or an
-  absent/disabled/wrong-version hard dependency; `ok` otherwise. Having no
-  `love.*` calls, this half is table-driven by the test suite on its own.
- `LauncherMods.setEnabled(id, bool)` persists `options.mods[id]` as a plain
-  boolean, the exact shape `Loader:_saveState` writes, so the running game
-  and the in-game `ManagerState` see the change on next boot. The mods panel
-  calls this on every toggle and re-derives the list right away
-  (`RomImporter:_refreshMods`) so a status change (e.g. a new conflict)
-  shows without waiting for a reload.
- `LauncherMods.installZip(path)` mounts the archive with
-  `love.filesystem.mount`, locates the mod root via `locateRoot` (manifest at
-  the zip root, or inside one top-level folder), validates its manifest, and
-  copies the tree into the save-dir `mods/<id>/` before unmounting. Rejects a
-  duplicate of an already-installed mod id, and accepts either an external
-  path string or a LOVE `DroppedFile`, staging a dropped file into a save-dir
-  temp first (mount only reaches save-dir-relative paths), the same way
-  `RomImporter` handles a dropped ROM. A failed copy rolls its partial tree
-  back, and every path unmounts and clears the staged temp file.
- `LauncherMods.uninstall(id)` removes `mods/<id>/` and clears
-  `options.mods[id]` so a later reinstall starts from the loader's default
-  (enabled). The mods panel Delete control calls this and re-derives the list.
- A mod that declares `github` shows its total GitHub downloads (every
-  release's summed asset `download_count`, from the same cached release
-  fetch the update check uses) as a highlighted body line like "12,345
-  downloads across all releases - Released 2024-05-31 - Updated 2026-07-01"
-  (first and latest `published_at`). Old cache entries written before the
-  counts existed show no line rather than a wrong zero; a manual check
-  refreshes them.
- The MODS panel sorts its rows by Name, Popularity (downloads),
-  Release date (first release), or Last updated, chosen by chips under the
-  header and persisted in `options.modSort`. Mods without release data
-  (no `github` field, or a stale cache) sink to the bottom of data sorts.
-
-## Import / Export save
-
-The SAVE FILES card wires a raw Gen1 `.sav` battery image to the save slots
-through `src/import/SaveFileIO.lua`, which sits on top of
-`src/save_convert/SaveConvert.lua` and the slot API in `SaveData`.
-
- **Import save** is live once the game's ROM is imported (playable).
-  On desktop it opens a native `.sav` picker (`chooseSav`); on Android,
-  `love.system.pickFile("sav")` → `picked_save.sav`, same SAF path as ROMs.
-  On **NX (Switch)** there is no picker: copy a `.sav` into
-  `getSaveDirectory()/imports/saves/<red|blue|yellow>/` via MTP / SD / FTP
-  (one folder per game), then press **Import save** on that game’s tab to
-  ensure the inbox and rescan (same pattern as the ROM `imports/` and mod
-  `imports/mods/` inboxes). Hidden `._*.sav` AppleDouble sidecars are skipped.
-  `SaveFileIO.importToSlot` reads the bytes (an absolute path, a save-dir
-  relative name, a dropped LOVE file, or raw bytes),
-  guards the 32768-byte size, runs `SaveConvert.importSav` (which also rejects
-  a bad main-data checksum), then registers a fresh slot (`SaveData.createSlot`),
-  writes it (`SaveData.writeSlot`), and makes it active (`SaveData.setActiveSlot`).
-  The meta stamp is re-stamped off `gen1_import` to the current numeric format
-  so `SaveData.load`'s migration pass accepts the slot. On success the SAVE SLOT
-  panel is refreshed with the new slot selected. On **NX**, a successful inbox
-  import retires the file to `*.sav.imported` and records a content hash in
-  `imports/saves/<game>/.imported-sha1` so a second **Import save** (or the same
-  bytes under a new name) does not clone slots; failures leave the original
-  `.sav`. Only that game’s folder is scanned.
- **Export save** is live only when the active slot actually holds a save
-  (checked against `listSlots`). `SaveFileIO.exportActiveSlot` loads the active
-  slot, encodes it back with `SaveConvert.exportSav` (a slot never keeps
-  `rawImport`, so this is a zero-filled template export, which is valid), and
-  writes `exports/<version>/gen1recomp-<version>-<slotId>.sav` under the same
-  root `persistFs` writes slots to: the portable game folder when `portable.txt`
-  marks the install, otherwise the save directory (`exports/` and
-  `exports/<version>/` are created as needed; #752). On desktop it returns the
-  absolute path (`SaveData.portableBaseDir()` when portable, else
-  `love.filesystem.getSaveDirectory()`), which the notice line shows with an
-  "Open folder" affordance (`love.system.openURL("file://" .. dir)`).
-  On Android the bytes are also staged as `pending_export.sav` and
-  `love.system.createFile(suggestedName)` opens `ACTION_CREATE_DOCUMENT` so the
-  player can save to Downloads / Drive / etc.; on return `export_done.flag`
-  makes focus show "Save exported."
-  On **NX**, export success sets a notice with the `exports/<game>/` path and an
-  MTP-oriented hint — no `openURL` / Open folder (pull the file via MTP /
-  SD / FTP instead).
- **Drag-drop.** `filedropped` routes a `.sav` to the import path for the
-  currently active game tab; when a non-game tab (mods, or the locked yellow
-  placeholder) is showing it defaults to red, the always-present first game
-  (`_savedropTarget`). `.gb` (ROM) and `.zip` (mod) routing is unchanged.
- **Failure UX.** Every error path (wrong size, bad checksum, write failure,
-  nothing to export, ROM not imported yet) surfaces as a red notice line on the
-  card. Nothing raises and nothing silently no-ops.
-
-`SaveFileIO` is love-free enough to unit-test through the same in-memory
-filesystem stub the slot backend uses (`tests/engine/save_file_io_tests.lua`).
-
-## Responsiveness
-
-Every measurement derives from `love.graphics.getDimensions()` each frame
-plus the existing global scale `s = clamp(height / 768, 0.7, 1.6)`; nothing
-assumes a fixed window size. The game panel's two-column grid (ROM/SAVE
-FILES/Play on the left, SAVE SLOT on the right) collapses to one stacked
-column, slot card below Play, when the window is too narrow for both
-`~300 * s`-wide columns. The save-slot list and the mod list both scroll
-(wheel, or drag on touch/desktop) clamped to their own content extent,
-recomputed every draw. The tab bar labels only the active chip so it stays
-narrow-safe, and content caps out at `~1440 * s` wide, centered.
-
-The desktop window has a floor of 480x360 (`conf.lua` `minwidth`/`minheight`),
-under which the cards stop being readable at all. Mobile ignores it: those
-windows are fullscreen.
-
-### Page scroll
-
-Two columns fit any window the launcher is likely to open in; one stacked
-column does not. On a phone-shaped window the ROM card, SAVE FILES, Play and
-SAVE SLOT together run past the bottom, and a footer pinned to the window
-bottom painted over them with the overflow unreachable.
-
-So the whole column under the tab bar -- panel, updater banner, footer --
-scrolls as one page whenever it is taller than the room below the tab bar:
-
- The strip, logo and tab bar stay pinned, so navigation is always on screen.
-  Everything else draws at `contentTop - pageScroll` inside a scissor, and the
-  footer is laid out downward from `footerTop` right after the content instead
-  of upward from the window bottom.
- `RomImporter.pageScrollFor(naturalH, viewportH, scroll)` is the whole
-  decision, pure and pinned by `tests/engine/launcher_page_scroll.lua`. A
-  window that grows back drags the offset down with it, so the page can never
-  stay parked past its own end.
- The panels report their natural height as they draw (`_drawGamePanel` and
-  `_drawModsPanel` return it), so the decision reads the previous frame's
-  measurement -- the same one-frame settle the two lists already rely on.
- **One scroll axis at a time.** While the page scrolls, the panels draw
-  `paged`: the slot and mod lists take their natural height, keep no inner
-  scroll region and report a max of 0, so the wheel, the right stick and a drag
-  all move the page and never fight a list for the same gesture. Two-column
-  layouts do not overflow, `paged` stays false, and every one of these behaves
-  exactly as it did before.
- Hit testing follows the clip: `inside` (clicks) and `_ptIn` (hover) reject a
-  rect that scrolled out of the viewport, so a control that slid under the tab
-  bar cannot be clicked through it. Tab chips carry `pinned = true` and are
-  exempt. `pageScroll` resets on a tab change, each tab being a different
-  length.
- A press on empty background pans the page, resolved in `_updateSlotDrag` like
-  every other drag here.
-
-### Dragging on Android
-
-The launcher is handed no move events on any platform: `main.lua` forwards
-neither `touchmoved` nor `mousemoved` while it is up, which is why every drag
-here is resolved by polling inside `draw` instead. Desktop polls the mouse;
-Android used to poll nothing at all ("no reliable pointer polling" meant its
-mouse emulation), so it had no scroll gesture whatsoever -- fine while every
-scroll region was an inner list with a wheel alternative, useless the moment
-the page itself became the thing that scrolls, since a phone is exactly where
-it overflows.
-
-`love.touch` is pollable, so `_pointerHold` reads the first active touch there
-and hands `_updateSlotDrag` the same (held, y) pair the mouse gives on desktop.
-Consequences:
-
- Slot rows and mod toggles ARM on press and commit on release on Android too,
-  matching desktop, so a swipe that starts on a card scrolls instead of
-  selecting the row it started on.
- `touchPollable` (set once in `new`) gates all of it. Where `love.touch` is
-  missing, every Android path is exactly what it was: act on press, never arm,
-  no drag.

+# Link play: threat model and what the code actually guarantees
+
+Link play is the only part of this game that reads bytes written by
+somebody else. This is what it defends against, what it does not, and
+where each guarantee lives.
+
+## The boundary
+
+Everything a peer or the relay sends arrives as one JSON object per line.
+There is exactly one place it becomes a message:
+
+    src/link/Net.lua        reads bytes, frames lines, decodes JSON
+    src/link/Wire.lua       rebuilds each line as a typed message
+    src/link/Session.lua    the only path from a transport into a mode
+
+`Session:update` runs `Wire.sanitize` on every message before anything
+else sees it. A schema returns a **new** table holding only the fields it
+names, at the Lua types it names, so the rest of `src/link/` can read
+`msg.slot`, `msg.parts.actives` or `msg.mons[i].dvs.hp` directly and be
+right by construction. A message with no schema (a mod's, or a future
+build's) keeps a bounded, scalar-only copy of its payload instead of
+being dropped.
+
+A message that fails its schema is **dropped and logged**, never fatal.
+Latching a terminal failure would hand a hostile peer a cheaper
+disconnect than sending nothing at all.
+
+### Why the bounds are loose
+
+Wire's numeric bounds are deliberately wider than the game's own clamps in
+`Protocol.unpackMon`. Both peers run identical clamps over identical
+packets; a bound that bit an honest value would change one side's copy of
+a mon and desync the lockstep. Wire's job is types and sizes. Rules are
+`Protocol`'s job, and it keeps its own clamps for the callers that reach
+it without a Session (the mod API, `tests/`).
+
+### Containment behind it
+
+Assume something still gets through:
+
+- `Game:step` pcalls the link pump, and pcalls `stack:update` **only
+  while a link session is active**. On a throw, `Game:breakLink` closes
+  the connection, unwinds to the overworld and says "The link was
+  broken." Outside link play the stack is unguarded on purpose: a blanket
+  pcall would swallow real engine bugs and leave the game silently wrong
+  instead of loudly broken.
+- `Net` caps `rxBuf` at 256KB and its per-frame read at 512KB, so a peer
+  that never sends a newline ends as a clean disconnect.
+- `Json.decode` refuses documents nested past 64 levels, and takes an
+  optional length cap that the link path passes and the mod-manifest path
+  does not.
+
+## The relay (`../pokeserver`)
+
+- A line that is not a JSON **object** with a string `type` is dropped
+  before any handler runs, and `onLine` is wrapped in try/catch.
+  `server.js` installs `uncaughtException`/`unhandledRejection` handlers:
+  one bad packet must never take every live match down with the process.
+- Line buffers are capped, lines per second are capped, connections per
+  IP and in total are capped, and an unbound connection that never hosts
+  or joins is swept after 30s.
+- `SERVER_ONLY` is the set of message types the server is the only
+  legitimate author of (`peer_gone`, `bracket_update`, `match_start`,
+  `tournament_over`, `spectate`, ...). A peer that sends one has them
+  dropped rather than forwarded, so a bracket opponent cannot forge a
+  tournament result or fake "your opponent left".
+- Trainer names are reduced to a printable subset and capped at the same
+  10 characters the game enforces, on the way in, because they are
+  rendered by the dashboard and broadcast to every participant.
+
+`pokeserver/test/hostile.js` is the regression net for all of that.
+
+## What is NOT defended
+
+**Party legality is trust-the-client.** Online play meets strangers, and
+`Handshake.onlineAllowed` is a Lua function in the same VM the mods load
+into. It cannot be made tamper-proof in-process, and pretending otherwise
+would only cost honest mod authors. What lockstep and
+`Protocol.unpackMon`'s recompute-from-species-data *do* guarantee is that
+a cheater cannot invent stats, moves, or a shiny: every derived value is
+rebuilt locally from real species data. They can send a legal party they
+farmed or edited. That is the honest boundary.
+
+What the relay does instead is **observe and record**. It already sees
+every `hello`, so it keeps each connection's self-reported
+`engineVersion`, `fingerprint` and `linkModified`, compares the two sides
+of a room or a live tournament match, and logs and surfaces a
+`modded` / `fingerprint_mismatch` / `version_skew` flag on the dashboard.
+A patched client can still lie; what it cannot do is lie without the
+tournament organizer having a record of it.
+
+Client-side attestation is deliberately not built. This is an
+open-source Lua game: it would be theater, and it would break honest
+mods.
+
+**The relay has no TLS.** Port 7778 is plaintext, so party contents,
+trades and trainer names are visible to anyone on the network path. There
+is nothing secret in a Pokemon party, but it is a real property of the
+system and not an oversight. Fixing it means a TLS terminator in front of
+the relay and a client that speaks it, which is a version break for every
+shipped build.
+
+**The dashboard has no default password.** `DASHBOARD_PASSWORD` is
+required; with it unset the relay runs and the dashboard simply does not
+start. It is still Basic Auth over plain HTTP, so it belongs behind an
+IP restriction or an SSH tunnel (`pokeserver/DEPLOY.md`).
+
+## Tests
+
+    luajit tests/link_hostile.lua        every message type x every wrong type
+    luajit tests/link_desync_fuzz.lua    lockstep fuzz, plus a mutation mode
+    luajit tests/run_link_tests.lua      both of the above, plus the rest
+    cd ../pokeserver && npm test         relay smoke, 16-player bracket, hostile
+
+`tests/link_hostile.lua` builds its corpus from a template per message
+type, replaces each field (and several nested ones) with every wrong Lua
+type, and drives the survivors through the real trade session, a real
+lockstep battle, a real spectator battle, and the tournament screen
+**including its draw** -- because the two nastiest payloads are
+delayed-fuse ones that crash on render rather than on receipt.

+# Linux ARM SBC Handhelds (PortMaster)
+
+Download `gen1recomp-*-sbc-portmaster.zip` from the [Gen1Recomp releases](https://github.com/bryanthaboi/gen1recomp/releases). This build targets 64-bit Linux ARM handhelds with PortMaster, including compatible H700 devices.
+
+## Install
+
+1. Unzip the release. It contains `gen1recomp-sbc.sh` and a `gen1recomp-sbc/` folder.
+2. Copy both as siblings into your device's PortMaster ports directory, commonly `Roms/Ports (PORTS)/` or `Roms/PORTS/`.
+3. Install PortMaster for your firmware and refresh the Ports list.
+4. Copy your legally owned canonical US Red or Blue `.gb` file into `gen1recomp-sbc/lovegame/`.
+5. Launch **gen1recomp-sbc** from Ports and choose the ROM.
+
+The pack includes `portable.txt`, so saves and ROM-derived cache remain beside the game on the SD card. The build never ships ROM-derived bytes.
+
+Canonical US cart SHA-1 values:
+
+- Red: `ea9bcae617fdf159b045185467ae58b2e4a48b9a`
+- Blue: `d7037c83e1ae5b39bde3c30787637ba1d4c48ce2`

+## Controls
+
+| Input | Action |
+| --- | --- |
+| D-pad | Move cursor |
+| A | Click / confirm |
+| L1 / R1 | Switch tabs |
+| Start / Select | Play or choose ROM |
+
+In-game controls use the normal PortMaster/SDL mapping and can be rebound in **OPTIONS → CONTROLS**.
+
+## Runtime and suspend
+
+The package bundles PortMaster's LÖVE 11.5 aarch64 runtime. The launcher sources `control.txt`, calls `get_controls`, applies an optional CFW override, invokes `pm_platform_helper`, and calls `pm_finish` on exit. Paths are relative to the launcher, allowing different firmware mount points.
+
+Suspend/resume uses the existing LÖVE focus/visibility lifecycle: input is reset on focus loss and the game resumes when the window becomes visible again. Exact power-button behavior remains firmware-dependent; hardware validation has been performed on the TrimUI Brick, not every SBC or H700 device.
+
+## Building
+
+Release workflows build this automatically. Standalone builds resolve the latest published Gen1Recomp release by default:
+
+```sh
+./build-linux-arm-sbc.sh --version 0.1.75
+```
+
+For development, package a local checkout explicitly:
+
+```sh
+GEN1RECOMP_SOURCE_DIR="$PWD" ./build-linux-arm-sbc.sh --version 0.1.0
+# or: ./build-linux-arm-sbc.sh --source "$PWD" --version 0.1.0
+```
+
+The generated `port.json` records the source release tag. `install-linux-arm-sbc.sh` is a macOS helper for copying a built pack to a mounted SD card.
+
+PortMaster device support and runtime integration are maintained in the [PortMaster](https://github.com/PortsMaster/PortMaster-New) ecosystem.

+# Mods and Gen 2 (Gold)
+
+The mod API is one API across both generations. Hook names, event names,
+registry names and the `mod.*` facade are shared on purpose: a mod that runs on
+Red should be able to run on Gold without learning a second vocabulary.
+
+What differs is how much of it Gold can actually serve, and that is why Gen 2
+support is something a mod **declares** rather than something it inherits.
+
+## What you can rely on today
+
+The short version, for an author deciding what to write:
+
+- **Every registry name, hook name and event name means the same thing in both
+  games.** Nothing is prefixed, renamed or repurposed per generation. Where Gen
+  2 genuinely carries more, the record or the payload gains a *field*.
+- **40 of the 46 registries are available on Gold.** 17 keep their Gen 1 target
+  outright (`commands`, `tokens`, `growth_rates`, `battle_sprite_scales` and
+  `render_pipelines` among them), 16 route to a Gen 2 table under the same
+  name, 6 are Gen 2-only systems Red has no counterpart for, and `migrations`
+  is a code registry with no data target in either game. The other 6 are gated,
+  and are listed below with the consumer change each one still needs.
+- **A registry with no home in a generation is reported, never silently
+  merged.** The write is taken, dropped, and named once per mod in the same
+  error feed the mod manager shows -- in both directions, so a Red boot writing
+  to `decorations` is told exactly as a Gold boot writing to `map_scripts` is.
+- **40 event names and 43 hook names have a call site in both generations**, so
+  one subscription serves both games. `tests/engine/gate_gen2_mod_api.lua`
+  reads those names back out of the source and fails if a site is renamed or
+  deleted on either side, and fails again if a new shared site appears without
+  being listed here.
+- **24 further names are Gen 2-only** (friendship, breeding, the Pokegear, the
+  radio, Pokerus, the roamers, Kurt, the Bug Contest, the Unown puzzle, mail,
+  held items, shininess, gender, and the five cards of the GS boot cinema).
+  They are plain names, not a `gen2.` namespace, so if Red ever grows the
+  system the name is already right.
+- **Every Gen 2 seam is guarded** by `Runtime.wants` / `Runtime.wantsHook`, so
+  a boot with no mod subscribed allocates nothing at any of them.
+- **A mod is loaded on Gold only if it says so.** See `gen2compat` below.
+
+`src/mods/Schemas.lua` is authoritative for routing;
+`tests/engine/gate_gen2_mod_api.lua` holds this document to it.
+
+## Declaring which games a mod is for
+
+```json
+{
+  "id": "my_mod",
+  "name": "My Mod",
+  "version": "1.0.0",
+  "entry": "main.lua",
+  "api": 2,
+  "games": ["gen1", "gen2"]
+}
+```
+
+`games` is an optional array of version ids (`"red"`, `"blue"`, `"yellow"`,
+`"gold"`), generations (`"gen1"`, `"gen2"`, case-insensitive) or `"all"`.
+`src/mods/ModTargets.lua` resolves the tokens off `GameVersion.ORDER` and
+`GameVersion.generation`, so nothing anywhere restates the game list.
+`Manifest.validate` stores the resolved, ORDER-sorted ids on `manifest.games`
+and **derives** `manifest.gen2compat` from them, which is the one field the
+loader's gate reads.
+
+Nothing moves on disk for any of this. A mod is installed once, into
+`mods/<id>/`, and that directory serves every game: there is no `mods/gen1/`
+and no per-generation copy. Targeting is declared, not filed.
+
+`"gen2compat": true` is the legacy spelling and is still accepted. It is purely
+additive -- it *adds* the Gen 2 games to whatever `games` says -- so no shipped
+manifest can lose a game it already ran on. A manifest with neither key is Gen
+1 only, which is exactly what it always meant. An unknown token warns and is
+dropped under `api` 1 and refuses the manifest under `api` 2; a `games` array
+that names no game this engine knows falls back to the default rather than
+orphaning the mod; a non-array `games` is a hard error.
+
+Every token is enforced, per game. `Loader:_gateGeneration` gates on
+`ModTargets.supports(manifest, version, generation)`, the same call both mod
+surfaces make, so `"games": ["blue"]` really does not load on Red and the
+loader's skip line is the launcher's line, `For Blue, not Red`. A manifest with
+no `games` and no `gen2compat` still covers every Gen 1 game, so nothing
+written before the key existed changes behavior.
+
+On a Gold boot, a mod claiming no Gen 2 game is **not loaded at all**: no
+registrations, no subscriptions, no entry chunk. The manager still lists it,
+showing `ENABLED (NOT THIS GAME)` and the reason, and the player's enable flag
+is left alone so it comes straight back on Red.
+
+Both mod surfaces derive what they show from `ModTargets` rather than from
+their own copy of the rule. The launcher's mod panel carries a `Show for:` game
+chip row and a per-mod tag (`GEN 1`, `GEN 1+2`, `RED/GOLD`), greyed with `Not
+for this game` and the detail `For Gen 1, not Gold` when the mod does not run
+on the selected game; the in-game manager shows the same verdict as
+`ENABLED (NOT THIS GAME)` plus an inert `FOR GEN 1+2` row on the detail screen.
+The launcher asks the same question of a mod's dependencies: one whose hard
+dependency does not run on the selected game reads `Needs <id> (not for Gold)`,
+matching the loader's contagious skip.
+
+A separate overlay, `options.modsByVersion[version][id]`, holds each game's
+enable flag. The launcher shows a coloured Red / Blue / Yellow / Gold checkbox
+for every installed mod, and the loader and in-game manager read the same
+game-specific answer on the next boot. On the first launch after this feature,
+the existing shared state is copied to every game, so a mod that was enabled
+remains enabled everywhere; after that, changing one checkbox affects only
+that game. New mods still default to enabled on every game (experimental mods
+retain their explicit opt-in default).
+
+That is deliberate. Gold reimplements the battle engine, the overworld, the
+script VM and the save format, so a Gen 1 mod dropped into a Gold boot would
+find a small fraction of its call sites live. A mod that half-applies reads to
+a player as a broken mod. Not running is the honest state, and naming a Gen 2
+game is the author saying "I have tested this there".
+
+Adding a Gen 2 game does not opt out of anything on Gen 1, because `games` is a
+union: `["gen1", "gen2"]` covers everything it covered before. What does change
+is that the gate now runs on a Gen 1 boot too, so a manifest that names *only*
+Gen 2 games no longer loads on Red, Blue or Yellow. Say `["all"]` or list both
+generations if you want both.
+
+Two riders. **A hard dependency that does not run here takes the dependent down
+with it** (unless scoped to specific games, e.g.
+`dependencies: [{ id = "x", games = ["gen2"] }]`), as a skip rather than a
+failure and carrying the dependency's own wording (`depends on X, which does not
+run here (For Blue, not Red)`), so the whole chain has to cover the same games.
+And **the claim is yours, not the last word**: it is the manager's `TRY HERE ANYWAY` row that lets a player run a mod
+whose author never opted in, which is the only route for a mod written before
+the field existed. The override is per game -- `options.modsGen2[id]` is a
+`{ [version] = true }` table, so forcing a mod onto Red does not force it onto
+Gold, and a legacy `options.modsGen2[id] = true` reads as "the Gen 2 games",
+the only set it could ever have affected. It applies on the next boot; a forced
+mod loads normally and keeps a note saying it was never verified here. Where
+the choice cannot be persisted the manager says `COULD NOT SAVE` instead of
+promising a restart.
+
+If you are writing new code, still prefer the API: take the live game from
+`mod.game` (or the `game.ready` payload, or a `ui.*` hook's first argument) and
+the world from `mod.world`. Those are the names that mean the same thing in
+both games. What follows is for the mods that were written before Gold existed
+and reach past it.
+
+## Gen 1 module facades
+
+A mod with `engine_internals` reaches engine modules by name, and under Gold
+those names used to resolve to Gen 1 modules nothing instantiates -- so the
+patch landed on dead code and the mod was inert with no symptom but silence.
+
+On a Gen 2 boot, **a require made from a mod's own chunk is answered by an
+adapter**: the Gen 1 API, backed by Gen 2 internals. `src/mods/Gen2Compat.lua`
+is the table, `src/mods/Loader.lua`'s require shim is where the swap happens,
+and `tests/engine/gate_gen2_mod_facade.lua` holds both to it. Engine code is
+not affected -- the shim only substitutes when the calling chunk is outside the
+engine tree, so `src/render/PaletteFX.lua` still gets the real Gen 1 module on
+both generations.
+
+Fifteen names are served. **alias** means the adapter *is* the Gen 2 module, so
+a monkey-patch, a `rawset` sentinel and a `getmetatable(x) == M` check all land
+on the table Gold runs; **facade** means a translating wrapper over it.
+
+| the Gen 1 name a mod requires | kind | what it gets on Gold |
+| --- | --- | --- |
+| `src.core.Game` | facade | a live proxy onto the Game2 instance |
+| `src.world.OverworldController` | facade | over `src/world/gen2/World.lua`; `World:step` / `:interact` / `:interactBody` dispatch through it |
+| `src.world.Map` | alias | `src/world/gen2/Map.lua`, grown Gen 1's statics and instance methods |
+| `src.world.NPC` | alias | `src/world/gen2/Npc.lua`; `NPC.new` sniffs the Gen 1 argument order |
+| `src.pokemon.Boxes` | facade | over `src/core/gen2/Boxes.lua`, plus Gen 1's `COUNT` / `CAPACITY` / `ensure` / `active` / `deposit` |
+| `src.battle.BattleState` | facade | over `src/ui/gen2/BattleState.lua`, write-through |
+| `src.ui.PartyMenu` | facade | over `src/ui/gen2/PartyMenu.lua`, write-through |
+| `src.world.WorldAPI` | alias | `src/world/gen2/WorldAPI.lua` |
+| `src.world.PikachuFollower` | alias | `src/world/gen2/Follower.lua` |
+| `src.script.ScriptRunner` | facade | over `src/script/gen2/Vm.lua` |
+| `src.ui.OptionsMenu` | facade | over `src/ui/gen2/OptionsMenu.lua`, write-through |
+| `src.world.FieldDefaults` | facade | the `playerSprites` answer, and a named refusal for the rest |
+| `src.world.Collision` | facade | `DELTA` / `target` / `occupied` / `canMove` |
+| `src.ui.StartMenu` | facade | over `src/ui/gen2/StartMenu.lua`, write-through |
+| `src.ui.BoxMenu` | alias | `src/ui/gen2/PcMenu.lua` |
+
+Two entries in that table are not the pairing they look like.
+`src.ui.BoxMenu` resolves to `PcMenu`, not to `src/ui/gen2/BoxMenu.lua`: Gen 1's
+`BoxMenu` is Bill's PC *top menu*, whose Gold counterpart is `PcMenu`, while
+Gold's `BoxMenu` is the withdraw/deposit *list* Gen 1 builds inline. And
+`src.script.ScriptRunner` is served narrowly rather than fully: `scanLabels`
+and `validate` forward verbatim, with the default verb lookup swapped to
+`game.data.commands` so a script of Gen 1 built-ins cannot validate clean and
+then run as nothing, while the lifecycle half is a thin handle onto the one
+`world.vm` with `resume` and `update` refused rather than double-driving it.
+The `script.started` / `script.ended` / `script.command` seams are the
+supported route and already work on Gold.
+
+`src.script.Commands` and `src.ui.OptionRows` have **no** adapter and are the
+two names a require of which still lands in the boot error feed the manager
+shows, with the module named. Both load fine under Gold and both are traps: the
+first hands back 61 Gen 1 verbs none of which Gold can run, the second paints
+Red's four-box options chrome over Gold's single 18x16 one.
+
+`docs/preparing-your-mod-for-gen2.md` is the migration guide for an author
+working through this, and `python3 tools/modkit.py gen2check <id>` reports a
+mod's own findings against the coverage table below.
+
+Three rules the adapters keep, because a plausible wrong answer is worse than
+the module being missing:
+
+- **Live, never a snapshot.** A mod captures `require("src.core.Game")` at file
+  scope, before a save or a world exists. The facade is a proxy that reads the
+  live instance on every touch, so `Game.save` is nil during the entry chunk
+  and correct forever after. It aliases the two names Gold spells differently
+  (`Game.overworld` is `Game2.world`, `Game.writeOptions` is
+  `Game2:persistOptions`) and the one data table that was renamed
+  (`game.data.sprites` is `data.gen2Sprites`).
+- **A member with no backing says so.** `game.data.field` does not exist on
+  Gold, so it reads nil *and* logs once, naming the mods holding the facade.
+  `BattleState.newWild` is absent rather than invented, because a `newWild`
+  that took a species and a level would be a lie about what Gold's battle
+  screen is.
+- **One stable table for the run.** Where the Gen 2 arm can serve the name
+  outright the adapter *is* that module, so a mod's monkey-patch, its
+  `rawset` sentinel and its `==` idempotency check all land on the table Gold
+  actually runs.
+
+### What the adapter says it covers
+
+The adapter publishes its own coverage, versioned by
+`Gen2Compat.COVERAGE_VERSION` (1), and `modkit gen2check` consumes that table
+rather than a second copy of the same knowledge:
+
+```lua
+Gen2Compat.modules()                            -- the 15 names, sorted
+Gen2Compat.serves(name)                         -- boolean
+Gen2Compat.memberStatus(name, member)           -- "backed" | "warned" | "absent" | nil
+Gen2Compat.coverage(name)                       -- a fresh table per call:
+--   { module, kind = "facade"|"alias", target, members = { [name] = status },
+--     notes = { [name-or-topic] = "one line" } }
+```
+
+The status vocabulary is frozen at three values, and a member listed as both
+resolves to the weaker claim:
+
+| status | means |
+| --- | --- |
+| `backed` | present, and it does the Gen 1 job on Gold |
+| `warned` | present, answers nil or degrades, and names itself once with the mod attributed |
+| `absent` | deliberately not served; a nil read is the honest failure |
+
+Today that is 291 backed, 32 warned and 161 absent across the fifteen modules.
+`notes` keys are documentation topics rather than a member list -- dotted paths
+(`save.money`), field names (`warpAt`), hook names (`hook ui.pc.items`) and
+bare topics (`identity`, `iteration`, `rawset`) all appear there. `members` is
+the authoritative set, and a member it does not record is not a promise either
+way: on an alias it resolves to whatever the Gen 2 module has, on a
+write-through facade it falls to the Gen 2 class, on the `src.core.Game` facade
+it reads nil and says so, and on the `src.world.OverworldController` facade it
+reads nil silently.
+
+**The follower.** Gold's cart has no trailing companion at all, so
+`src/world/gen2/Follower.lua` is new Gen 2 code rather than a facade: the
+entity, the trail loop, and a `shouldSpawn` a mod replaces. `World:step` calls
+`Follower.update(game, world)` once per logic frame after the body, and
+`World:setMap` calls `Follower.onMapEntered` before it emits `map.entered` --
+the same two call sites `src/world/OverworldController.lua` gives the Gen 1
+arm, which is what makes a Gen 1 follower mod's wrappers tick.
+
+Vanilla never spawns one: `shouldSpawn` answers false until something replaces
+it. `Follower.setShouldSpawn(fn)` is the supported way, and it writes the same
+file-local the Gen 1 mods reach through `debug.setupvalue` on the upvalue named
+`shouldSpawn`, so the two cannot disagree.
+
+Two Gen 2 engine changes came with it, both general rather than follower-only:
+an entity with `passable` set never blocks a step (the Gen 1 name and meaning,
+`src/world/Collision.lua`), and `World:rebuildPeople` now preserves **guests** --
+anything in the people list it did not put there. A rebuild runs on every zoom
+and every time-of-day roll, so without that a follower vanished at the top of
+the hour.
+
+**What the facades cannot fix.** A mod that allow-lists version strings
+(`GameVersion.get() == "red" or ...`) excludes itself from Gold by construction,
+and no adapter should special-case it. Neither is a Gen 1 screen id: Gold's
+builtins carry a `Gen2` prefix, so a mod matching `id == "BoxMenu"` matches
+nothing. A write to a field on a live Gen 2 menu instance is inert where Gen 1
+read it back (`menu.onSwitch`, `menu.swapFrom`, `StartMenu`'s box geometry),
+and `map.warpAt` is a name collision rather than a rename -- Gen 1's is a table
+keyed by cell, Gold's is a method, so indexing or iterating it raises. All of
+these are mod-side edits, each with a route that works on both generations;
+`docs/preparing-your-mod-for-gen2.md` walks through them.
+
+## What works on Gold today
+
+**Screens.** The `screens` registry serves both generations. Gold's screens
+are registered under `Gen2`-prefixed ids so a mod that replaces Gold's party
+menu does not also replace Red's; `Screens.GEN2_IDS` in `src/ui/Screens.lua`
+is the full list. Every screen Gold opens goes through an id, including the
+boot cinema and the START menu.
+
+**Asset overrides.** `overrides/` shadowing and asset transforms work
+unchanged: Gold's screens load art through `src/render/Assets.lua`, the same
+choke point Gen 1 uses.
+
+**Content registries at the shared path.** `pokemon`, `moves`, `items`,
+`type_chart`, `strings`, `font`, `screens`, `commands`, `tokens`,
+`growth_rates`, `battle_sprite_scales`, `render_pipelines`, and the audio
+family (`audio`, `music`, `sfx`, `cries`, `map_songs`). These keep their Gen 1
+target path, so one mod source targets both generations.
+
+The last two are the newest and each carries one caveat worth stating before
+you write against it:
+
+- **`battle_sprite_scales`.** `src/ui/gen2/BattleState.lua:imageScale` walks
+  the merged table for a record whose `path` matches the pic being drawn,
+  skipping the registry's own `_owners` row, and `picScale` falls through to
+  the species record's `battleScaleFront` / `battleScaleBack` after it -- the
+  same image-then-species-then-default order Gen 1 resolves in. Because the key
+  is the asset path it also reaches the pics that are nobody's species: the
+  player's trainer back, the DUDE's, an opponent's frontpic. The **default**
+  differs and is not a registry record either side: Red's 32x32 back pics draw
+  at 2x, Gold's 48x48 ones fill their 6x6 box at 1x, so a scale that looks
+  right on Red is twice as large on Gold. At any scale the pic stays centred in
+  its box and standing on the same ground line.
+- **`render_pipelines`.** `src/core/Game2.lua:load` installs
+  `src/render/Pipelines.lua` on Gold's dataset *after* `mods:load`, so the
+  merged table is the one it walks, and `Game2:draw` composites the
+  whole-frame half through `Pipelines.wantsPresent` / `Pipelines.present` with
+  the Gen 1 ctx keys (`width`, `height`, `scale`, `dpi`, `dpiX`, `dpiY`). The
+  **`drawWorld` half is inert on Gold**: its overworld draws straight to the
+  window rather than into a canvas the way `src/world/OverworldController.lua`
+  hands one to `Pipelines.drawWorld`. A drawWorld-only pipeline is not left
+  switched on and drawing nothing -- `Game2:load` retires a restored level for
+  one, leaving `options.pipelines` untouched so the mode comes back the day
+  Gold grows a world canvas. Gold also has no OPTION row for a pipeline
+  (`Pipelines.rows` is read only from `src/ui/OptionsMenu.lua`), so a Gold
+  player reaches one by its `hotkey`.
+
+**Content registries at a Gen 2 path.** `maps`, `tilesets`, `sprites`, `text`,
+`encounters`, `trainers`, `palettes`, `icons`, `battle_anims`, `constants`,
+`statuses`, `move_effects`, `item_effects`, `balls`, `ai_classes` and
+`evolution_methods`. Same registry name, same verbs, a Gen 2 table underneath
+(`data.gen2Maps`, `data.gen2Encounters`, `data.gen2Statuses`, ...).
+`src/core/Game2.lua` loads the extracted ones into `game.data` before it
+calls `mods:load`, and every consumer takes them by reference and never
+copies, so what a mod merges is what the game walks: a registered map is a map
+Gold can warp into, a patched tileset is the one `Map.new` reads, a patched
+encounter table is the one the grass rolls.
+
+The battle-rule six are the newer half and work slightly differently: there is
+no table on disk for them at all. They come into existence *as* the merge, and
+each consumer reads a record through a lookup that falls back to its own module
+records when no loader ran, so a mod-free Gold boot behaves identically:
+
+| registry | who reads it |
+| --- | --- |
+| `statuses` | `Battle.statusRecordFor` / `statusPenaltyFor`, `Catching.statusBonus`, `ItemEffects.healClassOf` |
+| `move_effects` | `Battle.moveEffectRecordFor` (`useMove`'s dispatch) |
+| `balls` | `Catching.recordFor` |
+| `ai_classes` | `Ai.layersFor` (the ten `scoring.asm` passes, plus mod layers) |
+| `evolution_methods` | `Evolution.methodFor` |
+| `item_effects` | `ItemEffects.recordFor` / `partyAction` |
+
+`src/mods/Builtins.lua` seeds those six with **Gold's** records under Gen 2
+rather than Red's. It has to: both games call it `GREAT_BALL`, and Red's record
+carries no `multiplier`, so seeding Red's would leave Gold's x1.5 reading nil.
+
+**Content registries that exist because Gold does.** Six systems Red has no
+counterpart for, so there is no Gen 1 table to share and none of these carries
+a Gen 1 target at all. The routed Gen 2 path is their only home, and
+`Schemas.GEN1` gates them on a Red boot the way `Schemas.GEN2` gates
+`map_scripts` on a Gold one -- reported, not silently merged.
+
+| registry | id space | who reads it |
+| --- | --- | --- |
+| `held_items` | item ids | `ItemEffects.heldItemFor`; the merged rows are written back onto `data.items` for `Battle:itemDef` |
+| `phone_contacts` | `PHONE_*` (`data.gen2Constants.phoneContactOrder`) | `Phone.useRegistry`, folded onto the contact table |
+| `decorations` | `"deco:<n>"` | `Decorations.attributes`, the single read point for an attribute row |
+| `apricorns` | apricorn item ids | `Apricorns.useRegistry`, which rebuilds all three lookups and Kurt's menu order |
+| `landmarks` | `LANDMARK_*` | `Nests.landmarkId` / `Nests.landmark`, which resolve a map header's landmark byte |
+| `radio_channels` | station ids | `MapRadio.channelRecord`, which puts a registered station on the dial |
+
+`Game2:load` calls `Phone.useRegistry`, `Decorations.useRegistry`,
+`Apricorns.useRegistry` and `ItemEffects.applyHeldItems` immediately after
+`mods:load`, so the merge is live before the first frame. `landmarks` and
+`radio_channels` need no such call: their consumers take `data` at call time.
+
+`landmarks` merges onto the cache's own `gen2Landmarks.landmarks` and
+`held_items` onto the view `Game2` builds from `data.items`, so both fold
+against the vanilla row -- a `register` for an existing id collides, a
+`patch` stacks. The other four come into existence as the merge, seeded from
+their module's literals by `src/mods/Builtins.lua`.
+
+Four honest limits on that surface:
+
+- `held_items` reaches the battle by being written back onto `data.items`, so a
+  held row for an id with no `data.items` record lands nowhere. To invent a
+  held item, register the `items` record too. The write-back is a diff against
+  a pre-merge snapshot, which is what lets `items` and `held_items` compose
+  instead of one reverting the other.
+- `decorations` ids are `"deco:<n>"`, not `DECO_*` names: the cart's decoration
+  constants are a bare `const_def` block with no name table behind them, so
+  there is nothing in the ROM to spell them by. `battle_anims` addresses its
+  unnamed rows the same way. `n` is the attribute row's index, which is
+  `wMenuSelection`.
+- `phone_contacts` does not register the four `PHONE_UNUSED` `const_skip` holes
+  (contact bytes 8, 9, 10 and 25). The manifest gives all four the same id, and
+  one id cannot key four rows. They stay copies of the wrong-number filler,
+  which is what the cart does with them.
+- `radio_channels` and `phone_contacts` register *content*, not new UI: a
+  registered station gets a dial position and a name, and a registered contact
+  gets a row the Pokegear indexes, but neither invents a screen.
+
+**Record shapes.** A registry whose Gen 2 records genuinely differ carries a
+Gen 2 schema beside its Gen 1 one (`gen2Fields` / `gen2Keys` / `gen2Write` in
+`src/mods/Schemas.lua`, resolved by `Schemas.shapeFor`). The registry name, the
+verbs and wherever possible the ids stay shared; only the record changes. The
+differences an author meets:
+
+- **`pokemon`.** Gen 2 splits `special` into `specialAttack` /
+  `specialDefense`, names the level-up table `levelMoves` and the pic size
+  `picSize`, has no separate `level1Moves`, and points an evolution at `into`
+  rather than `species`. It also carries the breeding block (`eggGroups`,
+  `eggMoves`, `eggSteps`, `genderRatio`) and the wild held-item pair.
+- **`encounters`.** The id is the encounter *kind*, not the map:
+  `mod.content.encounters:patch("grass", { ROUTE_29 = { rates = { NITE = 40 } } })`.
+  A map's row carries a `rates` set per time of day and one slot list.
+  `fishGroups`, `trees` / `treeSets`, `rocks`, `bugContest` and `roamMaps` are
+  ids of their own.
+- **`trainers`.** The id is the trainer *class*, and the record is
+  `{ name, index, attributes, baseMoney, encounterMusic, trainers, items }`,
+  with one entry per named trainer of the class. The registry writes one level
+  in, into `data.gen2Trainers.classes`, so the call shape is unchanged.
+- **`icons`.** Two id forms in one registry, routed by the `ICON_` prefix a
+  sheet name carries: a species id names an assignment (a string, the sheet's
+  name), an `ICON_*` id names a sheet.
+- **`palettes`, `battle_anims`, `constants`.** The id is a subtable of the
+  target: `pokemon` / `trainers` / `bg` / `objects` / `roofs` for palettes,
+  `scripts` / `moves` / `objects` / `framesets` / `oamsets` / `gfx` for
+  battle_anims, and one of Gold's 42 ordered ROM name lists (plus `mapGroups`,
+  `trainerClassMembers`, `types`) for constants. Those lists are ordered and
+  position *is* the id a script byte resolves through, so they replace rather
+  than append.
+
+Four more id-space notes, because the records at those paths came out of a
+Gen 2 ROM:
+
+- Gold's `text` ids are ROM pointer strings such as `"55:4067"`, not the
+  `TEXT_*` names Red uses. `override` them by pointer; there is no name table.
+- A Gen 2 tileset carries its walkability as `collision` where Gen 1 says
+  `walkable`. Both fields validate; only `collision` is read on Gold.
+- A Gen 2 warp row carries `destGroup` / `destMapNum` beside the `destMap` /
+  `destWarp` pair Gen 1 also has. Both are optional in the shared schema, so a
+  Gen 1 warp row and a Gen 2 one both validate, and patching one of Gold's own
+  maps does not mean restating the ROM's map-group numbers.
+- Gold writes `"burn"` / `"sleep"` into `mon.status` where Red writes `BRN` /
+  `SLP`. The `statuses` registry is the same registry; only the ids differ, and
+  they have to.
+
+**`mod.commands`.** Works on Gold. `src/script/gen2/Vm.lua` runs the cart's own
+bytecode, so there is no opcode byte to hand a mod -- the seam is a row the
+cart cannot write. `Opcodes.MOD_COMMAND` (`"modcommand"`) is an op *name* with
+no byte behind it, and the VM dispatches it through the same merged
+`data.commands` table Gen 1's runner resolves by name. Two row shapes reach it:
+
+```lua
+{ op = "modcommand", verb = "mymod:shake", args = { 4, 2 } }   -- native
+{ "mymod:shake", 4, 2 }                                        -- Gen 1 row
+```
+
+The second is the Gen 1 row shape verbatim, so one row list can serve both
+games as long as every row in it is the mod's own verb. The handler is called
+`fn(ctx, unpack(args))` with `ctx.vm` where Gen 1 has `ctx.runner`; it may
+block on `ctx.vm:showText` / `:waitFrames`, and its return value speaks Gen 1's
+control vocabulary (`"end"`, a row number, or nil). A missing or raising verb
+is warned once per name and the rest of the list still runs. The engine's own
+Gen 1 verbs are **not** seeded on Gold: a row-list verb handed Gold's ctx would
+find no runner on it, so `data.commands` under Gen 2 is the mod verbs alone.
+
+**`mod.save`, `mod.options`, `mod.log`, `mod.assets`, `mod.find`, exports.**
+Generation-agnostic; nothing to adapt.
+
+**`mod.world`.** Same method set, resolved against Gold's world
+(`src/world/gen2/WorldAPI.lua`). Two differences show through and are
+documented on the module: Gold's world is not a stack state, and Gen 2 event
+flags are numeric ids into `wEventFlags` rather than string keys.
+`mapOverview` returns the same read-only terrain, tile-shading, and marker
+shape, using Gold's live object masks and event flags to omit collected items.
+`spawnNpc` / `removeNpc` append onto the map def's own object list, the way the
+Gen 1 arm does, so a spawned actor is pooled, drawn, walked and talked to like
+an extracted one and survives a map reload; it is not serialized, so a mod
+respawns on `map.entered`. `queueScript` takes a small allowlist of verbs Gold
+has its own entry points for (`start_battle "wild" species level`, `warp`,
+`text`, `setflag`, `clearflag`) and refuses a list containing anything else
+**by name, before the first row runs**, so a mod never gets a half-run queue.
+`marchInPlace` still has no Gen 2 equivalent (the Gen 2 movement stream has no
+byte for it) and returns `nil, reason` rather than approximating one.
+`availableFieldActions` and `useFieldAction` expose the same contextual field
+item and move records in both games. Gold extends the shared ids with its own
+`headbutt`, `whirlpool`, `waterfall`, `sweet_scent`, and `squirtbottle`
+actions. Each engine keeps ownership of its inventory, badges, terrain,
+surfing, bike, fishing, and field-move rules.
+
+**Hooks and events that fire on Gold.** Every name below is the Gen 1 name
+carrying the Gen 1 payload keys, because Gold's call sites reuse them rather
+than defining a parallel vocabulary; where Gen 2 carries more, the payload
+gains a field instead of the name gaining a prefix.
+
+- *Engine-wide, from the shared modules:* `game.ready`, `screen.pushed`,
+  `screen.popped`, `screen.render_visible`, `music.started`, `music.stopped`,
+  `music.select`, `music.volume`, `sound.played`, `zoom.range`,
+  `assets.transformed`, `mods.loaded`, `mod.options_changed`.
+- *Overworld (`src/world/gen2/`):* `map.entered`, `map.exited`,
+  `map.reloaded`, `player.warped`, `world.stepped`, `world.interacted`,
+  `world.npc_spawned`, `world.trainer_engaged`, `world.blacked_out`,
+  `world.block_replaced`, `world.boulder_moved`, `world.tod_changed`,
+  `world.object_toggled`, `flag.changed`; hooks `warp.destination`,
+  `movement.collision`, `movement.speed`, `encounter.roll`,
+  `encounter.species`, `encounter.fishing`, `world.tod`, `map.palette`,
+  `fieldmove.eligibility`. `flag.changed` carries the numeric `wEventFlags`
+  id under Gen 1's `name` key, which is the one payload difference the
+  numeric flag space forces.
+- *Menus (`src/ui/gen2/`):* `ui.start_menu.items`, `ui.title_menu.items`,
+  `ui.options.rows`, `ui.party.submenu`, `ui.naming.grid`, `ui.pc.items`,
+  `ui.list_menu`, `transition.style`. `ui.list_menu` covers Gold's script
+  menus (`ScriptMenu.lua`); the `Chrome.List` widget the START and title
+  menus draw with does not raise it yet, so those two are composed through
+  their own hooks only.
+- *The Oak speech (`src/ui/gen2/OakSpeech.lua`):* `intro.oak_speech.started`,
+  `intro.oak_speech.step`, `intro.oak_speech.answered`,
+  `intro.oak_speech.finished`, and the `intro.oak_speech.build` hook. Gold has
+  a real Oak speech, so it is the same extension point rather than a second
+  one: same names, same payload keys, same moments in the sequence. The beats
+  are a data table with the same step vocabulary (`say` / `pic` / `name` /
+  `choice` / `yesno` / `shrink` / `fn`, plus Gold's own `initclock` and
+  `demo`), and the step *ids* match Gen 1's wherever the moment is the same --
+  `oak_welcome`, `demo_mon`, `world_spiel`, `ask_player_name`, `name_player`,
+  `legend`, `shrink` -- so `ModUI.insertStepBefore(steps, "name_player", ...)`
+  lands in the right place in both games. The two ids with no Gen 1
+  counterpart are Gold's own beats, `init_clock` (the `farcall InitClock` the
+  speech opens with) and `oak_study` (the return to Oak for `_OakText5`). Gold
+  has no rival-naming or name-confirmation beats, so it raises no anchors for
+  them: the rival is named by `CopScript` in `maps/ElmsLab.asm`, hours later.
+- *Battle (`src/battle/gen2/`):* `battle.started`, `battle.ended`,
+  `battle.turn_started`, `battle.turn_ended`, `battle.move_used`,
+  `battle.damage_dealt`, `battle.fainted`, `battle.status_inflicted`,
+  `battle.battler_switched`, `battle.ball_thrown`, `battle.exp_gained`,
+  `pokemon.level_up`, `pokemon.move_learned`; hooks `battle.damage`,
+  `battle.crit`, `battle.accuracy`, `battle.turn_order`,
+  `battle.enemy_action`, `battle.run`, `battle.exp_award`, `exp.gain`,
+  `catch.rate`, `trainer.party`, `battle.overlay`, `battle.low_health_alarm`,
+  `battle.catch_exp`, `battle.bottom_ui_visible`,
+  `battle.status_hud_visible` and `battle.move_grid_navigation`. One payload
+  difference: Gen 1's vanilla
+  `battle.low_health_alarm` link reads `ctx.battle.data`, and Gold's battle
+  screen has no `.data` field, so the Gen 2 site **adds** `ctx.data` beside the
+  Gen 1 keys. A mod that calls `nextFn` is unaffected; one that reaches through
+  `ctx.battle.data` instead gets nil on Gold.
+- *The catch and the evolution:* `pokemon.caught`, `pokemon.evolved`; hook
+  `evolution.check`. `src/ui/gen2/BattleState.lua:pushCaught` emits
+  `pokemon.caught` once the mon is in the party or the box, and
+  `src/core/gen2/Evolution.lua` emits `pokemon.evolved` from `apply` and wraps
+  each row's decision in `evolution.check`. The hook passes `data` where Gen 1
+  passes `game`; positions 2-4 (mon, row, trigger) match.
+- *The frame (`src/core/Game2.lua`):* hooks `input.step`, `input.pointer`,
+  `render.zones`, `render.compose`, `render.output_enabled`, `render.output`,
+  `render.letterbox`, `render.hud`, `render.viewport`, `render.window`. Each sits
+  at the same moment `src/core/Game.lua` and `src/render/Renderer.lua` raise it
+  -- the logic tick before the pad is read, a pointer the touch overlay gets
+  first refusal on, the palette zone list handed to the present pass, the
+  composed frame before GBCFX, the letterbox, and the finished playfield rect
+  -- and carries the same payload.
+  `render.hud`'s `gameX` / `gameY` really is where Gold's dialogue boxes and
+  menus land, because `Chrome.fitScale` / `fitOrigin` and `World:fitScale`
+  compute the same number. `render.zones` is handed `nil` in GBC mode (Gold
+  computes no zone of its own there) and the engine's own one-rect list in
+  CLASSIC mode; a rect that clamps to nothing is skipped rather than throwing,
+  which is what `src/render/Renderer.lua:scissorClamped` does on the Gen 1 side.
+- *Sprites (`src/pokemon/Sprites.lua`, shared):* `pokemon.sprite`,
+  `pokemon.icon` and `player.sprite`. `pokemon.icon` is reached from
+  `src/ui/gen2/PartyMenu.lua` through the shared module, so it is one call site
+  serving both games. `player.sprite` is raised by `Sprites.playerPic`, which
+  Gold's battle back pic (`src/ui/gen2/BattleState.lua`), Hall of Fame and
+  intro call with an already-resolved path: Gold's trainer art is not in
+  `field.playerPics`, so the path is found first and the hook raised over it,
+  with the Gen 1 `ctx` keys (`side`, `kind`, `demo`, `battle`, `data`)
+  unchanged. The Gen 2 trainer card is the one player-art read still outside
+  it: its portrait is a tile sheet that also carries the frame tiles, not a
+  swappable pic.
+  `pokemon.sprite` has a second site of its own in
+  `src/ui/gen2/BattleState.lua`, which adds `letter` (Unown) and `shiny` to the
+  Gen 1 ctx keys -- both concepts Red does not have.
+- *Save and the script VM:* `save.created`, `save.loaded`, `save.loading`,
+  `save.writing`; hooks `save.write`, `save.new_game`, `script.command`, and
+  the `script.started` / `script.ended` pair off `src/script/gen2/Vm.lua`.
+  `script.command` reports a mod's own row under the name `"modcommand"` with
+  the row's real operands, and may rewrite them, on the same path it wraps a
+  cart row.
+
+## New in Gen 2
+
+These have no Gen 1 analogue -- Red has no friendship byte, no day care egg,
+no Pokegear, no radio, no held items -- so they are the only places a new name
+is justified. They are **live**, guarded by `Runtime.wants` /
+`Runtime.wantsHook`, and each is driven through a real bus by
+`tests/engine/gen2_new_seams.lua`.
+
+### Events
+
+| event | raised from | payload |
+| --- | --- | --- |
+| `happiness.changed` | `Happiness` (`ChangeHappiness`, `StepHappiness`) | `mon`, `event`, `reason` (`"event"` / `"step"`), `delta`, `from`, `to` |
+| `breeding.egg_created` | `Breeding` (`DayCare_InitBreeding`) | `egg`, `mother`, `father`, `compatibility`, `stepsToEgg` |
+| `egg.hatched` | `Breeding` | `mon`, `egg`, `slot`, `species`, `nickname` |
+| `phone.call_received` | `PhoneRing.script` | `call`, `contact`, `name`, `className`, `special`, `scriptKey` |
+| `clock.day_changed` | `Clock` | `day`, `previous`, `reason` |
+| `pokerus.infected` | `Pokerus` | `party`, `slot`, `mon`, `strain`, `days`, `source` |
+| `roamer.moved` | `Roamers` | `index`, `slot`, `species`, `from`, `to`, `reason` |
+| `roamer.encountered` | `Roamers` | `index`, `slot`, `species`, `level`, `mapId` |
+| `apricorn.converted` | `Apricorns` (Kurt) | `apricorn`, `ball`, `event` |
+| `bug_contest.scored` | `BugContest` | `mon`, `score`, `place`, `results` |
+| `unown.unlocked` | `Unown` (`UpdateUnownDex`) | `letter`, `name`, `word`, `count` |
+| `radio.channel` | `MapRadio` | `station`, `channel`, `name`, `source` |
+| `mail.written` | `Mail` | `entry`, `slot`, `mon`, `message`, `author`, `source` |
+| `mail.read` | `Mail` | `entry`, `message`, `author`, `top`, `bottom` |
+| `intro.boot.copyright` | `CopyrightSplash:enter` | `screen`, `game` |
+| `intro.boot.gamefreak` | `GameFreakPresents:enter` | `screen`, `game` |
+| `intro.boot.movie` | `GoldSilverIntro:enter` | `screen`, `game` |
+| `intro.boot.movie_ended` | `GoldSilverIntro:finish` | `screen`, `game`, `skipped`, `frames` |
+| `intro.boot.title` | `TitleState:enter` | `screen`, `game` |
+
+The four `intro.boot.*` cards are the GS boot cinema, and they are the one part
+of Gold's intro with no Gen 1 moment to share a name with: Red boots into
+`IntroMovie` with no copyright card, no GAME FREAK splash and no attract movie.
+The Oak speech immediately after them is the opposite case and reuses
+`intro.oak_speech.*` verbatim (see the shared table above).
+
+Each card raises its name the frame it comes up, because that is the moment a
+mod can act on. Only the movie has an `_ended` name, and only because it
+carries a fact nothing downstream does -- `skipped` is the difference between a
+player who watched all 2335 frames and one who pressed START. The other three
+cards chain straight into the next card, whose own event is their end.
+
+`delta` on `happiness.changed` is `to - from`, not the table's column, because
+the 0 and $ff carry clamps are part of what the cart applied: a mon at 254
+gaining "5" gained 1.
+
+`clock.day_changed` compares against a process-local latch, so the first read
+after a boot has nothing to compare against and raises nothing. That is by
+design; it is a day *change*, not a day report.
+
+`unown.unlocked` is raised from `UpdateUnownDex` -- a form first entering the
+`#DEX` list -- not from the four `ENGINE_UNLOCKED_UNOWNS_*` puzzle flags. Those
+flags are written by the cart's own `setflag`, so there is no Lua transition at
+the puzzle solve to hang a second event on yet.
+
+`mail.read` rides `Mail.lines` with a per-struct latch, because the read page
+redraws every frame. The latch is re-armed by `Mail.get` / `Mail.mailbox`,
+which is how both readers pick the letter they are about to open, so reopening
+the same letter raises a second event.
+
+### Hooks
+
+| hook | wraps | ctx | vanilla answer |
+| --- | --- | --- | --- |
+| `held_item.trigger` | `Battle:heldEffect` | `battle`, `mon`, `item`, `def`, `effect`, `parameter`, `trigger` | `ctx.effect, ctx.parameter` |
+| `breeding.compatibility` | `Breeding.compatibility` | `data`, `mon1`, `mon2`, `dayCare` | the vanilla byte |
+| `phone.contact_list` | `Phone`'s `wPhoneList` read | called `(save, list)`, the shape the other list hooks use | the same list |
+| `shiny.roll` | `Mon` | `dvs`, `species`, `def`, `level` | the DV-derived boolean |
+| `gender.roll` | `Mon` | `def`, `dvs`, `ratio`, `species`, `level` | the DV-derived gender |
+
+`held_item.trigger` is one hook over eight call sites, because on the cart
+those eight *are* one routine (`GetUserItem` / `GetOpponentItem` loading b and
+c, and the caller comparing b against the `HELD_*` it cares about). `trigger`
+says which comparison is about to happen: `"priority"` (Quick Claw),
+`"damage"` (Scope Lens and the type-boost family), `"endure"` (Focus Band),
+`"flinch"` (King's Rock), `"accuracy"` (BrightPowder), `"confuse"`,
+`"residual"` (the end-of-turn Leftovers / Berry / cure arm), and `"check"` for
+any other read. Return nil to make the item do nothing at that trigger, or
+another `HELD_*` name to substitute one -- every call site compares against a
+name, so substitution is the whole mechanism.
+
+`held_item.trigger` wraps the *read*, so a mod can suppress or substitute an
+effect from any item. Defining a **new** held item is the `held_items`
+registry's job, and the two compose: register the row, then steer it from the
+hook.
+
+`phone.contact_list` refuses an answer of the wrong length or with an unknown
+contact id (unknown ids blank to 0 on purpose, so the Pokegear never indexes a
+nil). It reorders and blanks the ten save slots; registering a contact id the
+game does not know is `phone_contacts`' job.
+
+`shiny.roll` does not override a forced-shiny battle (`opts.shiny`), which is
+how the cart's own scripted shiny Gyarados stays shiny.
+
+## Registries with no Gen 2 home
+
+Writing to one of these while Gold is running takes the write, drops it, and
+reports it once per mod into the same error feed the manager shows. It is not
+fatal: a mod that supports both generations registers its Gen 1 content
+unconditionally and still loads the half that applies. The report is worded
+from the boot's own generation, because the gating runs both ways.
+
+`rulesets`, `transitions`, `field`, `text_pointers`, `link_fields`,
+`map_scripts`.
+
+`Schemas.GEN2` in `src/mods/Schemas.lua` is the authoritative table, and
+`tests/engine/gate_gen2_mod_api.lua` holds it to the catalog.
+
+The list used to have three causes behind it and now has one. "No Data path
+exists" closed when the overworld tables stopped loading off disk into World
+fields. "The shape differs" closed when a registry gained the option of
+carrying a Gen 2 record schema beside its Gen 1 one. What is left is one cause:
+
+**Gold reimplements the system without reading a registry.** The Gen 1 target
+is still built and merged into, but nothing in a Gold boot ever looks at it, so
+routing the registry would be a merge into a table with no reader -- exactly
+the silent no-op the gate exists to prevent. Closing one of these is a consumer
+change in the Gen 2 module first and a routing row second:
+
+- `rulesets`: no Gen 2 ruleset dispatch exists.
+- `transitions`: Gold draws its own battle intro
+  (`src/ui/gen2/BattleTransition.lua`), and its `STYLES` is a boolean *set* of
+  the four cart wipes (`spin`, `speckle`, `zoom`, `sine`) rather than the
+  `{ frames, draw, sound, flash }` record this registry carries. There is no
+  styleDef lookup for a registered id to reach, so a mod style would fail the
+  `STYLES` membership test and fall back to vanilla -- routing it would be the
+  silent no-op, not the fix.
+- `field`: the Gen 1 overworld's data grab bag. Gold's equivalents live in
+  `data.gen2Maps` and the VM's own tables.
+- `text_pointers`: Gen 1's `TEXT_*` indirection. Gold's text *is* pointers.
+- `link_fields`: link play is Gen 1 only.
+- `map_scripts`: `data.gen2Scripts` is the cart's bytecode pool keyed by ROM
+  pointer, and a Lua row list merged into it is not something
+  `src/script/gen2/Vm.lua` can run. Routing it needs a Gen 2 side dispatcher in
+  `World`, not just the verb table `mod.commands` already has. The
+  `script.started` / `script.ended` / `script.command` seams do fire, so a mod
+  observes and can veto a script it cannot yet author whole.
+
+Four of this list closed after it was written, and how they closed is the
+pattern for the rest:
+
+- **`growth_rates`** now routes to the SHARED Gen 1 target. Gold's curves are
+  coefficient rows in the extracted `pokemon.lua`, so `src/mods/Builtins.lua`'s
+  Gen 2 registrant wraps each as the `{ expForLevel }` record Gen 1's registry
+  uses, and `src/battle/gen2/Mon.lua:growthFor` is the one accessor all six
+  readers go through (`Mon` twice, `BattleState`, `SummaryMenu`, `Breeding`,
+  `ItemEffects`). One record shape, one id space, one mod source for both
+  games. Because it is routed, the `pokemon` schema's `growthRate` reference is
+  now checked rather than skipped, and it resolves: both sides say
+  `GROWTH_MEDIUM_SLOW`.
+- **`tokens`** was on the list by mistake rather than by cause. `TextBox.new`
+  runs `TextBox.substitute` on every box in both generations and `substitute`
+  reads `game.data.tokens`, so the shared target was live on Gold the whole
+  time. A `{NAME}` a mod registers expands in the world, the menus and the VM's
+  pages alike.
+- **`battle_sprite_scales`** closed consumer-first, the `growth_rates` way:
+  `src/ui/gen2/BattleState.lua` grew `imageScale` / `picScale`, a faithful
+  mirror of Gen 1's `BattleState.imageBattleScale` / `resolveBattleScale` down
+  to skipping `_owners` and the image-then-species-then-default order, so the
+  registry now routes to the SHARED Gen 1 path and one record serves both
+  games. Only the default is generation-specific, and neither side reads that
+  from the registry.
+- **`render_pipelines`** closed because the reader moved, not the registry:
+  `src/core/Game2.lua:load` installs `src/render/Pipelines.lua` on Gold's
+  merged dataset after `mods:load` and `Game2:draw` composites `present`. The
+  `drawWorld` half is still inert, which is why this one is worth reading the
+  caveat above for -- it is routed on the strength of the half that works, and
+  Gold retires a drawWorld-only level rather than pretending.
+
+## Hooks and events Gold does not raise yet
+
+Gold has its own draw path, intro, evolution and sprite lookups, so the call
+sites in those Gen 1 modules are not on Gold's path. The names are not taken
+and not reserved for Gen 1: when a Gen 2 call site lands it uses the existing
+name and the existing payload, plus fields where Gen 2 genuinely carries more
+(the split special stats, held items on a trainer roster).
+
+The list is much shorter than it was. What is outstanding, in descending value:
+
+- `trainer.before_battle`: Gold constructs and pushes its trainer battle in
+  `src/world/gen2/World.lua:startBattle`, which does not yet expose a deferred
+  preparation boundary or a battle-local player-party view. Gen 1 mods can use
+  the hook documented in `docs/modding.md`; do not claim Gold compatibility
+  when that selection is required.
+- `pokemon.before_give` / `pokemon.received`: Gold has no give-mon seam of its
+  own yet.
+- `link.*` and `trade.completed`: a Gold boot offers no link menu at all. The
+  Gen 2 fingerprint and handshake exist (`src/link/Fingerprint.lua` hashes a
+  Gen 2 surface and a cross-generation pairing is refused by name), but nothing
+  in `src/ui/gen2/` opens onto the protocol, so these raise nowhere.
+
+Four groups that used to sit here have since landed and moved to the shared
+table above: the frame seams (`render.compose` / `render.hud` /
+`render.letterbox` / `render.zones`, `input.step` / `input.pointer`), the three
+battle seams (`battle.overlay`, `battle.low_health_alarm`,
+`battle.catch_exp`), the two sprite lookups (`pokemon.sprite`,
+`pokemon.icon`), and the catch/evolution trio (`pokemon.caught`,
+`pokemon.evolved`, `evolution.check` -- `src/ui/gen2/BattleState.lua` emits
+`pokemon.caught` from `pushCaught` once the mon is in the party or the box, and
+`src/core/gen2/Evolution.lua` emits `pokemon.evolved` from `apply` and wraps
+each row's decision in `evolution.check`).
+
+Three partial coverages worth knowing about, because "the hook exists" is not
+the same as "the hook sees everything":
+
+- `encounter.roll` / `encounter.species` are wired into the grass/water step,
+  `randomwildmon`, the Bug Contest and SWEET SCENT, but **not** into
+  `World:tryHeadbutt`, `World:rockMonEncounter` or `Roamers.checkEncounter`.
+  Those three read row shapes that are not `{ species, level }` slot lists, so
+  a mod that reskins encounters misses headbutt trees, rock smash and the
+  roamers.
+- `src/ui/gen2/BattleState.lua` builds a flat `opts` for `Catching.attempt`
+  with no `data` in it, so a mod-registered ball is readable through
+  `Catching.recordFor` but is not yet resolved at the real throw site.
+- Three Gold UI files carry their own copy of the status HUD labels the merged
+  `statuses` records now hold as `hudLabel`, so a mod status shows no label in
+  the battle HUD, the party menu or the summary page until they read
+  `Battle.statusRecordFor(data, status).hudLabel`. The values are identical
+  today, so nothing vanilla is affected.
+
+## Gen 2 tables with no registry
+
+`Game2:load` assigns 24 `data.gen2*` tables and 12 of them are registry-backed,
+so twelve sit in `game.data` on a Gold boot with no registry pointing at them:
+`gen2Marts`, `gen2Roofs`, `gen2StdScripts`, `gen2EventTables` (the phone book,
+in-game trades, elevator labels, decoration descriptions), `gen2InitialEvents`,
+`gen2Pokedex`, `gen2MenuGfx`, `gen2Intro`, `gen2Credits`, `gen2Diploma`,
+`gen2Trade`, and `gen2Scripts` (which the `map_scripts` registry does reach, so
+it is the one of the twelve that is not out of reach). Naming registries for the
+rest is new API surface rather than a routing change, so it is deliberately not
+done yet.
+
+## Testing a Gen 2 mod
+
+Static first. `gen2check` reads the manifest, scans every `.lua` the package
+carries and cross-references what it finds against the coverage table above:
+
+```sh
+python3 tools/modkit.py gen2check my_mod            # or a path
+python3 tools/modkit.py gen2check my_mod --notes    # + the caveat on each backed member
+```
+
+It reports one of `will load`, `will load but degrade` or `will not work`, with
+a `MK4xx` finding per site and an `unresolved:` note, carrying a file and a
+line, for every reach a static scan could not follow. Exit 0 clean, 1 on a
+fatal finding (or any finding under `--strict`), 2 on usage; `--json` emits the
+whole batch as one document, and `--quiet` prints the findings alone, so a
+clean mod prints nothing and the exit code is the answer. The rule ladder is
+`MK400`-`MK410` and is listed in `tools/modkit.py`'s section header.
+
+Then the headless harness, which takes the generation without booting Gold:
+
+```lua
+local run = T.sdk.loadMod("mods/my_mod", { generation = 2 })
+T.eq(run.mod and run.mod.state, "loaded",
+  "runs on gen 2: " .. tostring(run.mod and run.mod.skipReason))
+T.eq(#run.errors, 0, "and loads with no boot errors")
+```
+
+Everything else is the production path: same loader, same validate, same
+topological sort, same merge. Assert the state as well as the error count: a
+gate skip is deliberately not an error, so `#run.errors == 0` passes for a mod
+that never ran a line.
+
+Neither substitutes for a real Gold boot, and the two output channels there are
+not the same. The adapter's own warnings (`Gen2Compat.warnOnce`) go to the log
+only, each attributed to the mod holding the facade. The boot error feed the
+manager shows is `loader.errors`: a failed mod, a duplicate id, a registry with
+no Gen 2 target, a cross-validation problem, and a require for a Gen 1 module
+the adapter does not serve. A skipped mod and a degraded member are on neither
+list, by design.

+# RFC 0008 — Runtime mod option schema export
+
+## Status
+
+Proposed. Engine: `src/mods/Loader.lua`. Tests:
+`tests/mod_loader_tests.lua`. This RFC defines an optional filesystem
+contract; it does not require a native launcher or any other consumer.
+
+## Motivation
+
+A native launcher may want to present settings for installed mods before it
+starts the game. Running every mod's entry chunk in that launcher just to
+discover its settings would duplicate engine behavior and give the launcher
+an unnecessary code-execution surface. The engine already has the authoritative
+runtime schemas after mod loading, so it can publish a data-only snapshot for
+platform shells that want one.
+
+## The exact contract
+
+After the mod loader has finished running entry chunks, it may write
+`mod_option_schemas.json` beside `options.lua` in the same filesystem. The
+document is a snapshot of the current boot; it is not a second settings store
+and does not change how option values are read or written.
+
+Version 1 has this shape:
+
+```json
+{
+  "schema_version": 1,
+  "mods": {
+    "example": [
+      {"key":"enabled","type":"toggle","label":"Enabled","default":true},
+      {"key":"mode","type":"choice","label":"Mode","default":"safe",
+       "choices":[["Safe","safe"],["Fast","fast"]]},
+      {"key":"rate","type":"number","label":"Rate","default":5,
+       "min":0,"max":10,"step":1},
+      {"key":"name","type":"text","label":"Name","default":"","maxLen":12}
+    ]
+  }
+}
+```
+
+`mods` is keyed by mod id. Its rows come from the runtime
+`mod.options:define` schema, or from the legacy manifest `options_schema` file
+when the runtime schema is absent. The supported row types are `toggle`,
+`choice`, `number`, and `text`. Their optional fields retain the meanings
+established by the existing in-game option UI: choices are `[label, value]`
+pairs, numeric rows may provide `min`, `max`, and `step`, and text rows may
+provide `maxLen`. A row may also use
+`visible_if = {key = "mode", equals = "compact"}` or replace `equals` with
+`not_equals`. This only hides the in-game menu row; the schema and stored value
+remain available, and consumers that do not implement conditions may ignore
+the field.
+
+Only mods that are enabled and successfully loaded in the current boot are
+included. A disabled or failed mod must not contribute rows. If an older
+snapshot exists and the current boot has no schema-bearing mods, the producer
+overwrites it with `{"schema_version":1,"mods":{}}`; this prevents stale
+settings rows from surviving a disable or load failure. A fresh mod-free boot
+does not create the file, and a filesystem without write support is tolerated.
+
+The producer writes the snapshot after entry chunks and the final load set
+have been established. Consumers must treat the file as untrusted input and
+must not execute anything from it.
+
+## Compatibility and versioning
+
+The contract is optional on both sides. A native consumer may be absent, and
+the engine continues normally if the file cannot be written. A native
+consumer is not required to render, validate, or persist every supported row;
+it may ignore an unknown row type or optional field.
+
+For compatibility with files produced by the original unversioned prototype,
+a missing `schema_version` means version 1. Consumers must ignore documents
+with a newer version rather than guessing at their shape. Producers must bump
+the version whenever they change the document envelope or the meaning of an
+existing field. New optional row fields that older consumers can safely ignore
+do not require a bump. Version 1 is therefore the legacy unversioned format as
+well as the explicitly versioned format shown above.
+
+## Migration note
+
+Nothing. Existing mods, option values, and the in-game options UI are
+unchanged. Platforms that do not consume `mod_option_schemas.json` have no
+new integration requirement.
+
+## Parity tests
+
+`tests/mod_loader_tests.lua` verifies the explicit version, runtime and legacy
+row round-tripping, enabled/disabled filtering, failed-mod filtering,
+stale-snapshot clearing, and tolerance of a read-only filesystem.
+
+## Deprecation etiquette
+
+Nothing is deprecated. The unversioned file form remains readable as legacy
+version 1; new producers write the explicit `schema_version` field.

+### Manifest Fields
+
+| Field | Type | Description |
+| --- | --- | --- |
+| `id` | `string` | Unique identifier (lowercase alphanumeric, underscores, hyphens). |
+| `name` | `string` | Human-readable title shown in launcher and manager. |
+| `version` | `string` | Semantic version string (e.g. `"1.0.0"`). |
+| `api` | `integer` | Mod API level (`2` for current standard, `1` for legacy). |
+| `entry` | `string` | Entry Lua file path relative to mod root (usually `"main.lua"`). |
+| `profile` | `string` | Mod profile: `"content"`, `"overhaul"`, or `"total_conversion"`. |
+| `category` | `string` | Categorization chip (e.g. `"GAMEPLAY"`, `"CONTENT"`, `"UI"`, `"AUDIO"`). |
+| `games` | `array` | Supported game versions: `["gen1"]`, `["gen2"]`, `["red"]`, `["blue"]`, `["yellow"]`, `["gold"]`, or `["all"]`. |
+| `game_version`| `string` | Semver range of required engine version (e.g. `">=0.0.0-dev <2.0.0"`). |
+| `priority` | `integer` | Load priority order (lower numbers load earlier; dependencies always precede dependents regardless of priority). |
+| `dependencies` | `array` | Hard required dependencies. A mod will not load if a required dependency is missing or disabled for the active game. |
+| `optional_dependencies` | `array` | Soft dependencies. Guarantees that if the target mod is present and active, it loads *before* this mod without blocking load if absent. |
+| `required_imports` | `array` | User-supplied files required by this mod. The launcher validates and copies each file into this mod's `baseroms/` directory; the mod does not load while one is missing. |
+| `optional_imports` | `array` | User-supplied files that unlock optional mod functionality. They use the same validation and private-copy flow but never block the mod from loading. |
+| `conflicts` / `incompatible` | `array` | List of mod IDs that cannot run concurrently with this mod. |
+| `permissions` | `array` | Requested privileges (e.g. `["engine_internals"]`, `["network"]`, `["filesystem"]`). |
+| `log_url` | `string` | Optional https URL for `mod.postLog` log reporting (api 2; requires the `network` permission). |
+| `github` | `string` | GitHub repository (`"owner/repo"`) used for update checks and dependency download links. |
+
+### Declaring Dependencies & Scoping
+
+Dependencies in `dependencies` and `optional_dependencies` can be declared in several formats:
+
+1. **Simple string**: `"mod_id"`
+2. **Version-pinned string**: `"mod_id@^1.2.0"`
+3. **Repository-hinted string**: `"mod_id#owner/repo"` or `"mod_id@^1.2.0#owner/repo"`
+4. **Structured object**:
+   ```json
+   {
+     "id": "mod_id",
+     "range": "^1.2.0",
+     "games": ["gen2"],
+     "github": "owner/repo"
+   }
+   ```
+
+#### Version-Scoped Dependencies
+When a mod supports multiple games (`"games": ["gen1", "gen2"]`), a dependency can specify `"games": ["gen2"]` to indicate it is only required when booting Gen 2. When booting Gen 1, the engine will ignore the dependency, preventing unnecessary boot blocks on games that do not need it.
+
+### Required user-supplied files
+
+`required_imports` and `optional_imports` keep copyrighted or otherwise user-owned source material
+out of mod archives while giving every platform the same installation flow.
+Each object requires a stable `id`, a display `name`, a destination `file`
+(a filename, never a path), and one MD5 digest or an array of accepted MD5
+digests. `format` is either `"raw"` (the default) or `"n64"`. An optional
+`description` gives players dump or region guidance in the import panel.
+`size` declares the exact canonical byte length; `max_size` declares a smaller
+per-import ceiling when an exact size is not appropriate. Every import also
+has an engine-enforced 128 MiB ceiling and is rejected before hashing when its
+filesystem reports an invalid size.
+
+For `"n64"`, the launcher recognizes `.z64`, `.v64`, and `.n64` byte orders,
+strips a recognized 512-byte copier header, converts the bytes to canonical
+big-endian `.z64` order, and then checks MD5. The canonical bytes are written
+to `mods/<mod-id>/baseroms/<file>`. Each selection is a private grant to that
+mod: the launcher never scans or copies another mod's imported files merely
+because its manifest names the same digest. Mods read the result with their existing scoped `mod:read` API, for
+example `mod:read("baseroms/stadium2.z64")`; no host path or new filesystem
+permission is exposed. Missing `required_imports` block the mod before its
+entry chunk runs; missing `optional_imports` remain visible in the same
+launcher panel but do not block loading.
+
+MD5 here identifies a known dump because ROM databases commonly publish it;
+it is not a security or authenticity guarantee. Do not paste the SHA-1 used by
+Gen1Recomp's own game-ROM importer into an import's `md5` field. Mod archives
+must not include anything beneath `baseroms/`. The engine records a validation
+receipt keyed by file size and modification time so launcher refreshes and
+later boots do not repeatedly hash an unchanged imported ROM.
+
+New mobile code should call `love.system.pickFile("required_import")`. The
+older iOS-only `"stadium"` picker kind remains temporarily for compatibility.
+Android now returns `false` for unknown picker kinds instead of treating them
+as game-ROM picks.
+
+### Platform import flow
+
+The same per-mod validation and private `mods/<mod-id>/baseroms/` destination
+applies on every supported platform. Windows, macOS, and Linux use the
+launcher file chooser. Android uses the Storage Access Framework, and iOS uses
+the Files document picker; both stage the choice as `picked_required_import.bin`
+before validation. Xbox/UWP uses its native picker and hands the launcher a
+temporary path. Switch/NX has no host picker, so the player copies a file to
+`imports/baseroms/` over MTP and chooses the import again. No platform grants
+the mod a host filesystem path or bypasses the manifest's size, format, and MD5
+checks.
+
+## Mods and Gold (Gen 2)
+
+The mod API is one API across both generations, but Gold runs its own battle
+engine, overworld, script VM and save format, so a mod says which games it is
+for and Gold serves a declared subset of the surface.

+## Party ordering
+
+Companion UIs and alternate party screens can call
+`mod.world:canReorderParty()` before offering a reorder action, then
+`mod.world:reorderParty(fromSlot, toSlot)` with one-based party slots. The
+operation is accepted only during idle overworld play; menus, movement,
+scripts, battles, and transitions leave the party untouched.
+
+## Contextual field actions
+
+`mod.world:availableFieldActions()` returns the field items and moves that can
+start at the player's current position. Both games expose `bicycle`, `fish`,
+`cut`, `surf`, `strength`, `flash`, `dig`, and `teleport`; Gold additionally
+exposes `headbutt`, `whirlpool`, `waterfall`, `sweet_scent`, and the
+contextual `squirtbottle` key item. Red additionally exposes `softboiled` with
+eligible `sources`; each source contains its eligible `targets`. Fishing rows
+include the owned rods that are valid choices. The list is empty while the
+world is busy, and omits an action whenever its item, move, badge, terrain, or
+engine state forbids it.
+The optional second return is `"world is busy"` during transient input locks
+or `"no overworld"` before a playable world exists.
+
+Call `mod.world:useFieldAction(id, opts)` to perform a listed action through
+the active game's own field-item path. Fishing accepts `{ rod = "OLD_ROD" }`
+and chooses automatically when only one rod is available. Red's `softboiled`
+accepts one-based `{ sourceSlot, targetSlot }` values copied from its action
+record. Invalid, stale, and busy requests return `nil` plus a reason without
+changing game state. Mods do not need generation-specific badge, terrain,
+bike, fishing, or field-move
+logic. Action lists are extensible; callers should render the records they
+understand and ignore unknown ids rather than assuming a fixed list length.
+
+Red exposes FLY separately because it requires a destination picker:
+`mod.world:canFly()` reports whether FLY is eligible at the current location,
+and `mod.world:flyTo(mapId)` accepts only a visited destination from the native
+Fly town list. Gold does not expose these two methods yet.
+
+## Read-only battle snapshots
+
+`mod.battle:snapshot()` returns `nil` outside a battle and a copied battle
+record while one is active. Gen 1 (Red, Blue, and Yellow) and Gold expose the
+same core fields:
+`revision`, `kind`, `catchable`, `prompt`, `message`, `turn`, `player`,
+`enemy`, `party`, `moves`, and `items`. Pokémon, moves, messages, and items in
+the result are detached records; changing them cannot change the battle.
+`revision` stays stable while the visible battle context is unchanged and
+advances when it changes, so a UI can skip rebuilding an identical view.
+
+Pokémon records contain `species`, `name`, `level`, `hp`, `maxHp`, `status`,
+and `active` (plus `slot` in `party`). Move records contain `slot`, `id`,
+`name`, `pp`, `maxPp`, `type`, `power`, `accuracy`, and `disabled`. Gen 1 also
+reports the actual ruleset-aware `displayPower`, `hitChance` percentage, and
+`effectiveness` multiplier (`10` neutral, `20` super-effective, `5`
+resisted). Item rows contain `id`, `name`, `count`, `ball`, `needsTarget`, and
+an optional stock `catchChance` percentage.
+
+`prompt` describes the currently visible choice (`menu`, `moves`, `party`,
+`advance`, `safari`, or `mimic`) and is `locked` when another screen or battle
+phase owns input. Generation-specific features remain optional: Gen 1 includes

+## Battle menu intents
+
+`mod.battle:submit(intent)` applies a validated choice to the snapshot the mod
+just read. Every intent needs a mod-owned, strictly increasing positive
+integer `id` and the latest snapshot `revision`. Stale, replayed, covered, or
+invalid choices return `nil` plus a reason without changing the battle.
+
+The shared Red, Blue, Yellow, and Gold intents are:
+
+- `{ kind = "menu", choice = "fight" }` (`party`, `item`, and `run` are the
+  other accepted choices)
+- `{ kind = "move", slot = 1..4 }`
+- `{ kind = "back" }` while the move menu is active
+
+Red, Blue, and Yellow also expose their generation-specific choices:
+
+- `{ kind = "safari", action = "ball" }` (`bait`, `rock`, and `run` are the
+  other accepted actions)
+- `{ kind = "mimic", index = 1 }` using an entry's snapshot `index`
+
+Menu choices and moves use the same engine methods as the native controls;
+`party` and `item` open the native screens rather than exposing or duplicating
+their mutable logic. Tutorial, link, forced, stale, and covered battle states
+refuse core intents. Use `mod.input` for ordinary text advance.

+at the current player cell so it cannot immediately reopen; moving one cell or

+full save party; passing
+`{ playerPartyIndices = { 2, 4, 5 } }` uses those ordered, one-based party
+members for initial send, switching and forced replacement, exhaustion,
+experience traversal, and battle party displays. The continuation is one-shot.
+An empty, duplicate, out-of-range, or otherwise malformed list safely falls
+back to the full party. The view references the original Pokemon records and

+## Shared date and time presentation
+
+The global Options menu owns `DATE FORMAT` (`DEVICE`, `DD-MM-YYYY`,
+`MM-DD-YYYY`, `YYYY-MM-DD`) and `TIME FORMAT` (`DEVICE`, `24 HOUR`, `12 HOUR`).
+These preferences live in `options.lua`, so checkpoint restore never rewinds
+them. `DEVICE` uses the process time locale when the platform provides one;
+the portable fallback is `DD-MM-YYYY` plus 24-hour time.
+
+Mods format captured timestamps through the read-only public facade:
+
+```lua
+local date = mod.datetime:date(game, createdAt)
+local time = mod.datetime:time(game, createdAt)
+local both = mod.datetime:dateTime(game, createdAt)

+`"----"`.

+## Device power information
+
+Sandboxed mods can read the host's battery state without receiving the rest

+
+`state` follows LÖVE's values: `"unknown"`, `"battery"`, `"nobattery"`,
+`"charging"`, or `"charged"`. `percent` is `0` through `100`, or `nil` when
+the platform cannot report it. The facade is read-only and does not expose
+URL launching, clipboard access, or other system operations.
+
+## Real-world steps
+
+On iOS and Android the game counts the player's real-world steps natively
+(HealthKit / the hardware step counter). A mod reaches that bridge through
+the `steps` permission in `manifest.json`, which the player sees in the
+mod manager like every other permission:
+
+```lua
+if mod.steps:available() then
+  mod.steps:sync()                -- async; OS consent sheet on first use
+end
+-- later, at a quiet moment:
+local walk = mod.steps:poll()     -- { steps = n, from = ?, to = ? } or nil
+```
+
+`available()` is `false` on builds without the bridge (desktop) and for
+mods without the permission, so a probe is always safe. `sync()` asks the
+platform to refresh its count and returns whether there was a bridge to
+ask. `poll()` returns the next delivery for this mod — the engine consumes
+the native side's pending file itself, each permissioned mod receives its
+own copy of a delivery, and steps are anchored natively so the same walk
+is never delivered twice. Without the permission, `sync` and `poll` raise
+an error naming it.
+
+## Background HTTP
+
+`mod.fetch` is how a mod does work off the main thread. It is behind the
+`network` permission in `manifest.json`, the same one that gates
+`require("socket")`, and the player sees it in the mod manager.
+
+```lua
+-- somewhere once
+local job = mod.fetch:get("https://example.com/data.json")
+
+-- in a hook or update, every frame -- poll never blocks
+if job then
+  local r = mod.fetch:poll(job)
+  if r.status ~= "pending" then
+    if r.status == "ok" then use(r.body) else warn(r.err) end
+    mod.fetch:release(job)
+    job = nil
+  end
+end
+```
+
+`get(url, opts)` returns an opaque handle, or `nil` plus a reason. `opts`
+takes `accept` (a request Accept header) and `maxSeconds` (clamped to 30).
+`poll(handle)` returns `{ status, body, err, progress }` where `status` is
+`"pending"`, `"ok"`, `"error"` or `"cancelled"`; it is a copy, and it never
+blocks, so calling it every frame is the intended use. `release(handle)`
+frees a finished job — do it, or you will hit the ceiling. `cancel(handle)`
+drops a result you no longer want. `available()` is `false` when the build
+has no transport and for mods without the permission, so a probe is safe.
+
+The rules worth knowing before you design around it:
+
+- **http and https only.** The underlying transport also speaks `file://`,
+  `ftp://` and `scp://`; those are refused, on the initial URL and on any
+  redirect. `mod.fetch` is not a way to read a local file.
+- **Four requests in flight per mod.** The worker pool is shared with the
+  launcher's own downloads, so one mod cannot fill it. Over the ceiling,
+  `get` returns `nil` and a reason until you release something.
+- **Handles are yours alone.** A handle from another mod, a fabricated
+  table, or a guessed number all poll as `"error"`.
+- **Your mod id is in the User-Agent**, so a server operator can see who is
+  calling and a mod cannot pose as the launcher.
+- Jobs are released when your mod unloads.
+
+This is deliberately not `love.thread`. A LÖVE thread is a fresh Lua state
+with a full standard library that the sandbox cannot reach, so handing one
+to a mod would undo every other rule; `mod.fetch`'s workers run engine
+code, so a mod gets asynchrony without gaining any new reach.
+
+## Log reporting
+
+`mod.postLog(body, opts)` is the one-way exception to the rule that a mod
+decides where it talks. It reports a debug/crash log to the https URL the
+manifest declares in `log_url`, and it is the only API that may not be
+pointed at a caller-chosen address:
+
+```json
+{
+  "permissions": ["network"],
+  "log_url": "https://logs.example.com/receive"
+}
+```
+
+The URL is validated at load: it must be `https://`, and declaring it
+without the `network` permission is a load violation for api 2 mods. The
+destination is reviewed when the mod ships, not chosen per call, so a mod
+cannot aim this at arbitrary hosts or read back anything a server replies.
+
+```lua
+-- fire and forget; poll() never blocks, same shape as mod.fetch
+local job = mod:postLog("session crashed at 0x1f3a\n" .. logText)
+```
+
+`postLog(body, opts)` returns the same opaque handle as `mod.fetch:get`,
+polled and released through `mod.fetch:poll` / `mod.fetch:release`. `opts`
+is a closed list with one switch: `format`, either `"text"` (the default)
+or `"json"`. `json` wraps the body in an envelope of `{ ts, mod, format,
+body }` so a server can attribute and sort reports; any other key or value
+is refused before a job is submitted. The body is capped at 64 KB, the
+transfer is bounded by the same worker ceilings as `mod.fetch`, and the
+response body is never returned to the mod.
+
+## Background jobs
+
+`mod.fetch` covers work waiting on a server. `mod.job` covers work waiting on
+the CPU — generating a map, crunching a table, anything that would otherwise
+stall a frame. It is behind the `background` permission in `manifest.json`.
+
+Ship the job as its own file inside your mod:
+
+```lua
+-- mods/your_mod/jobs/crunch.lua
+local arg = ...
+local total = 0
+for i = 1, arg.n do total = total + i end
+return { total = total }
+```
+
+```lua
+-- in your entry file
+local job = mod.job:run("jobs/crunch.lua", { n = 1e6 })
+
+-- later, in a hook -- poll never blocks
+local r = mod.job:poll(job)
+if r.status == "ok" then
+  use(r.result.total)
+  mod.job:release(job)
+end
+```
+
+`run(script, arg, opts)` returns an opaque handle, or `nil` plus a reason.
+`opts.maxSeconds` sets the job's time budget (default 5, clamped to 30).
+`poll(handle)` returns `{ status, result, err }` with `status` one of
+`"pending"`, `"ok"`, `"error"` or `"cancelled"`. `release(handle)` frees it.
+`available()` is `false` on a host without threads and for mods without the
+permission, so a probe is always safe.
+
+**A job is pure compute.** This is the part to design around, not a detail:
+
+- **Plain data in, plain data out.** Numbers, strings, booleans and tables of
+  them. A function, userdata, a cycle or a table key that is not a string or
+  number is refused at your `run` call with a reason. Nothing is shared —
+  your argument is snapshotted, and mutating the original afterwards does not
+  reach the job.
+- **No engine API, no game state, no storage.** `require` is refused inside a
+  job, and there is no `mod` object. A job cannot read the party, write
+  `mod.storage`, or touch a registry. Get what it needs into the argument and
+  act on the result back on the main thread.
+- **Your script is a file in your mod folder.** The path goes through the same
+  rules as `mod:read`; `..`, absolute paths and drive letters are refused.
+- **Two jobs per mod, four on the machine.** Over the limit, `run` returns
+  `nil` and a reason until you release one.
+- **The budget bounds how long YOU wait, not how long the work runs.** Past
+  `maxSeconds`, `poll` reports an error and the result is dropped if it ever
+  arrives — but the thread runs to its own end. There is no way to stop a
+  LÖVE thread from outside, and every attempt to stop one from inside was
+  worse than the disease (a debug hook does not reliably interrupt LuaJIT,
+  and raising from one wedged the whole process). `cancel(handle)` is the
+  same deal: it drops the result, it does not stop the work.
+
+  So **write jobs that terminate.** A job with an infinite loop will keep one
+  core busy until the game closes. It will not freeze the game — the main
+  thread stays responsive and quitting still works — but nothing will reclaim
+  that core in the meantime.
+
+Your job script runs in the same sandbox your entry file does, so `io`, `os`,
+`debug`, `ffi`, `package` and `love.filesystem` are absent there too. That is
+the whole reason this exists rather than `love.thread`: a raw LÖVE thread is a
+fresh Lua state with a full standard library that the sandbox cannot reach, so
+handing one to a mod would undo every other rule. Here the worker builds your
+sandbox first and loads your chunk into it.
+
+## Pre-sandbox globals (compat)
+
+A mod written before the sandbox landed does not have to be updated to
+load. `io`, `package`, `dofile`, `loadfile`, `os.getenv`, `love.filesystem`,
+`love.system` and `love.event` are all present again as compat stand-ins
+(`src/mods/LegacyCompat.lua`), and assigning a LÖVE callback
+(`love.mousemoved = fn`) installs on the real table the way it always did.
+Every stand-in call logs one warning naming its replacement, and
+`loader:legacyReport(modId)` returns the same list with call counts, which
+is what a "needs updating" badge should read.
+
+The stand-ins are not the old globals. Paths are classified rather than
+passed through:
+
+- A path inside your own mod directory reads the file you shipped.
+- Anything else, including an absolute path, resolves into a private
+  per-mod overlay at `mod_compat/<your id>/` under the save directory.
+  Two mods naming the same path never see each other's bytes, and nothing
+  is written outside the game tree.
+- A read misses through the overlay to your shipped file, then to
+  `mod.storage`, so a half-migrated mod sees both.

+`love.errorhandler`. A mod that needs real background work needs an
+engine-owned facility, not a compat shim -- for HTTP that facility is
+[`mod.fetch`](#modfetch), which runs on the engine's own worker pool.

+# Preparing your mod for Gen 2 (Gold)
+
+You have a mod that works on Red, Blue or Yellow, and you want it to work on
+Gold. This is the migration guide: what breaks, what the engine papers over
+for you, what it refuses to paper over, and the order to do the work in.
+
+`docs/mod-api-gen2-compat.md` is the reference for *what Gold serves*. This
+document is the procedure for *getting your mod there*. Read that one when you
+need to know whether a registry or a hook exists; read this one first.
+
+## What actually breaks, and why
+
+Gold is not a skin over the Gen 1 engine. It is a second engine living beside
+the first one: `src/core/Game2.lua` owns the boot, `src/world/gen2/World.lua`
+is the overworld, `src/battle/gen2/Battle.lua` is the battle, and
+`src/script/gen2/Vm.lua` runs the cart's own bytecode instead of a Lua row
+list. A Gold boot never loads `src/core/Game.lua`,
+`src/world/OverworldController.lua` or `src/battle/BattleState.lua` at all.
+The mod API on top is deliberately one API -- the same registry names, the
+same hook names, the same event names, the same `mod.*` facade -- so a mod
+that stays on that surface mostly moves across unchanged. What does not move
+is everything underneath it.
+
+The failure that motivated all of this is quiet, which is what makes it worth
+a whole document. A mod with `engine_internals` writes
+`local Game = require("src.core.Game")` and patches a method on it. Under Gold
+that require used to succeed: the file is on disk, `require` finds it, hands
+back a perfectly good module table, and your patch lands on it. Nothing ever
+instantiates that table, so the patch runs zero times and the only symptom is
+that your mod does nothing. No error, no warning, no crash to bisect. Two
+things fixed that. First, a mod is not loaded on a Gold boot unless it says it
+is for Gold, so the default outcome is "not running" rather than "running
+wrong". Second, when it does say so, a require made from your own file is
+answered by an adapter (`src/mods/Gen2Compat.lua`) that presents the Gen 1 API
+over Gold's internals, and a member the adapter cannot honestly back reads nil
+instead of reading plausibly-wrong.
+
+## Step 1: run the checker before you change anything
+
+`modkit gen2check` reads your manifest, statically scans every `.lua` the
+package carries, and cross-references what it finds against the adapter's own
+coverage table. Run it first, because it tells you the size of the job in a
+few seconds.
+
+```sh
+python3 tools/modkit.py gen2check <id-or-path> [<id-or-path>...]
+```
+
+Real output, against a follower mod written for Yellow:
+
+```
+-- PokePCFollowers_VoxelMerge: api 1, profile content, no games declared, permissions engine_internals, 0 dependencies, game_version unset

+FAIL PokePCFollowers_VoxelMerge on gen 2: will not work (3 errors, 3 warnings)
+```
+
+Three kinds of line, and the difference matters:
+
+- **`MK4xx ERROR` / `MK4xx WARN`** are findings with a file and a line. Errors
+  set the exit code; warnings do not unless you pass `--strict`.
+- **`modkit:` notes** are things the tool derived rather than found, or could
+  not decide at all. They never change the exit code. The `shouldSpawn` note
+  above is the tool resolving that member through the adapter on a Gen 2 boot,
+  enumerating the function's real upvalues, and confirming the surgery lands;
+  the `unresolved:` notes are the tool naming, with file and line, every reach
+  it saw and could not follow.
+- **The verdict**: `will load`, `will load but degrade`, or `will not work`.
+
+The rule ladder:
+
+| rule | what it means |
+| --- | --- |
+| `MK400` | the manifest claims no Gen 2 game, so a Gen 2 boot skips the mod |
+| `MK401` | a dependency claims no Gen 2 game, which takes you down with it |
+| `MK402` | you require a Gen 1-only module the adapter does not serve |
+| `MK403` | a Gen 2 boot runs a `gen2/` sibling of the module instead |
+| `MK404` | a member you touch has no Gen 2 backing (the adapter's own reason is quoted) |
+| `MK405` | a member you touch degrades and says so once |
+| `MK406` | the signature moved under an alias |
+| `MK407` | `debug` upvalue surgery the Gen 2 arm cannot take: the member is not a function there, or the function does not close over that local |
+| `MK408` | upvalue surgery the scan could not resolve either way |
+| `MK409` | a version allow-list, or a Gen 1 screen id |
+| `MK410` | the entry chunk reads a member of a game that is not up yet |
+
+Flags: `--strict` promotes warnings to failures, `--notes` prints the adapter's
+note for every *backed* member you touch (worth reading once per mod, because
+several backed members are backed with a caveat), `--json` emits one document
+for the whole batch, `--quiet` drops everything except the findings -- no
+header, no notes, no verdict line, so a clean mod prints nothing at all and the
+exit code is the whole answer. Exit code is 0 clean, 1 on a fatal finding, 2 on
+usage.
+
+Name several mods in one invocation and they are read as one install set, so a
+mod and its dependencies can answer each other's `MK401`.
+
+**What the checker cannot see, and now says so.** It is a static scan, not a
+run. It follows more than it used to -- a require made through your own
+`tryRequire`-style wrapper, `local ok, M = pcall(require, "...")`, an inline
+`require("src.world.Map").waterTiles(...)`, a bracket index `M["member"]`, a
+local hop `local F = M` -- so reaches that used to be invisible now produce
+real findings, and a mod that passed before can fail now.
+
+Two places where it used to answer confidently and wrongly now do not.
+`local A, B = require("src.world.Map")` is read as binding `A`, which is what
+Lua does; it used to take the name nearest the `=` and pin the module on `B`,
+so every reach off `A` went unchecked and every reach off `B` was checked
+against a module that was never there. And a helper of your own is only read as
+upvalue surgery when the scan can see it forward its own `(function, name)`
+pair into the `debug` call; a helper that merely mentions `upvalue`, or that
+finds the slot by walking `debug.getupvalue`, no longer has its call sites
+read as naming an engine local, because they do not.
+
+What it still cannot follow it names instead of ignoring. Every unfollowed
+reach comes back as an `unresolved:` note carrying a file and a line. The scan
+side raises one for:
+
+- a require name built at runtime, whether handed in whole or concatenated
+  (`require("src.world." .. name)` is as unfollowable as `require(name)`);
+- an engine module name handed to a call the scan does not follow;
+- an engine module name spelled in a literal with no require attached;
+- a require whose result is neither bound to a name nor indexed on the spot;
+- a require in a multiple assignment whose value it cannot pair to a name;
+- a name bound to a *member* of a module rather than the module;
+- an engine module indexed with a computed key;
+- `rawget` or `rawset` on a bound module: that goes straight to the table the
+  require shim hands back, so on a Gen 2 boot it reads or writes the
+  Gen2Compat facade and not the module behind it;
+- an engine module read as a value rather than indexed, so where it goes from
+  there (a table field, a call argument, a metatable's `__index`) is not
+  followed;
+- a `debug` upvalue call whose target function could not be tied to a module;
+- a call through one of your own upvalue helpers that the scan could not
+  confirm carries an upvalue name through to the `debug` call.
+
+Four more come from the coverage side rather than the scan: a dependency that
+is not installed beside your mod, a required name that is neither an adapter
+nor a module in this checkout, a module with no coverage row at all, and a Gen
+1 member the coverage table does not classify.
+
+The practical consequence is worth stating plainly: an empty finding list
+*plus* no `unresolved:` notes now means the scan followed everything it saw,
+and an empty finding list on its own does not.
+
+It is still silent on any member the adapter's coverage table does not record:
+the table lists 481 members across the 15 served modules, which is a large
+majority of what real mods touch and is not the whole Gen 1 API. A clean
+`gen2check` means "nothing known-broken was found", not "this works". Boot it.
+
+## Step 2: declare which games the mod is for
+
+Nothing moves on disk. A mod is installed once, into `mods/<id>/`, and that one
+directory serves every game. There is no `mods/gen1/`, no `mods/gen2/`, and no
+per-generation copy: targeting is something the manifest *declares*, not
+something the filesystem encodes.
+
+```json
+{
+  "id": "my_mod",
+  "name": "My Mod",
+  "version": "1.0.0",
+  "entry": "main.lua",
+  "api": 2,
+  "games": ["gen1", "gen2"]
+}
+```
+
+`games` is an optional array. Each entry is one of:
+
+| token | means |
+| --- | --- |
+| `"red"`, `"blue"`, `"yellow"`, `"gold"` | that one game (a version id from `GameVersion.ORDER`) |
+| `"gen1"`, `"gen2"` | every game of that generation (case-insensitive; `"gen 2"` also parses) |
+| `"all"` | every game this engine has |
+
+`src/mods/ModTargets.lua` is the one place those tokens are resolved, and it
+derives the list from `GameVersion.ORDER` rather than restating it, so a game
+added later needs no edit there. The scaffold writes the key for you:
+
+```sh
+python3 tools/modkit.py scaffold my_mod --games gen1,gen2
+```
+
+**Omitting `games` keeps the old meaning exactly.** No `games` key means Gen 1
+only, plus Gen 2 if the legacy `"gen2compat": true` flag is set. Every manifest
+written before the key existed means precisely what it always meant.
+`gen2compat` is still accepted and is purely additive: it *adds* the Gen 2
+games to whatever `games` says, so no manifest can lose a game it already ran
+on. `Manifest.validate` (`src/mods/Manifest.lua:210-224`) resolves the two
+into one ORDER-sorted `manifest.games` array and derives `manifest.gen2compat`
+from it, which is why `"games": ["gen2"]` is honoured by the loader's gate
+today with no other change.
+
+An unknown token warns and is dropped under `api` 1 and refuses the manifest
+under `api` 2 (the normal `violation()` rule). A `games` array that names no
+game this engine knows falls back to the default rather than orphaning the mod.
+A non-array `games` is a hard error.
+
+### What you are claiming
+
+Adding a game to `games` is you saying *I have run this there*. It is not a
+request for best-effort support and the loader does not treat it as one: a mod
+that claims a game is loaded on that boot in full, with its registrations, its
+subscriptions and its entry chunk, exactly like a mod written for it. If it is
+half-working, the player sees a broken mod, not a partially-supported one. That
+is the whole reason the key exists rather than being inferred.
+
+**Every token is enforced, per game.** `Loader:_gateGeneration`
+(`src/mods/Loader.lua:447`) gates on `ModTargets.supports(manifest, version,
+generation)` -- the same call both mod surfaces make -- so `"games": ["blue"]`
+really does not load on Red, and the skip line is the launcher's line, `For
+Blue, not Red`. `"games": ["gold"]` alone no longer loads on Red either: it
+names one game, and that game is Gold. A manifest with no `games` and no
+`gen2compat` still covers every Gen 1 game, so nothing written before the key
+existed changes behavior; what changed is that a version-id token is now a
+statement the boot keeps rather than a label the UIs draw. If you want a mod
+everywhere, say so: `["gen1", "gen2"]` or `["all"]`.
+
+**Dependencies are contagious.** A mod whose hard dependency does not run here
+is left out too, carrying the dependency's own wording (`depends on X, which
+does not run here (For Blue, not Red)`). It is reported as a skip rather than a
+failure and neither mod lands on the boot error list, but the mod does not run.
+Every hard dependency in the chain has to cover the same games; `MK401` is the
+checker's version of this question for the Gen 2 half of it.
+
+**The player can overrule you, in one direction only.** The in-game mod
+manager offers `TRY HERE ANYWAY` on the detail pane for any mod that does not
+claim *this* game (`src/mods/ManagerState.lua:386`), which now includes a Gen 1
+boot: a Blue-only mod is genuinely skipped on Red, so that row is the only way
+to run it there. The choice is **per game**: `options.modsGen2[id]` is a
+`{ [version] = true }` table, so forcing a mod onto Red does not force it onto
+Gold. A stored legacy `options.modsGen2[id] = true` from before the key was
+per-game reads as "the Gen 2 games", which is the only set it could ever have
+affected, and it is expanded in place the next time the player answers. A
+forced mod loads normally and keeps a note saying its author never verified it
+here; the launcher shows it as `Forced onto Gold by you (untested)`. If the
+override cannot be persisted the manager says `COULD NOT SAVE` rather than
+promising a restart that would change nothing.
+
+### What the player sees
+
+All three surfaces read the same derivation -- the two UIs and the loader --
+so they cannot disagree about your mod. The launcher's mod panel carries a
+`Show for:` chip row (All games / Red / Gold / ...) and a per-mod tag from
+`ModTargets.chip` -- `GEN 1`, `GEN 1+2`, `RED/GOLD`, `BLUE` -- greyed out when
+the mod does not run on the selected game, with the line `Not for this game`
+(`src/import/LauncherView.lua:320`) and the detail from `ModTargets.detail`,
+`For Gen 1, not Gold`. The in-game manager shows the same thing as
+`ENABLED (NOT THIS GAME)` with the skipped glyph, plus an inert `FOR GEN 1+2`
+row on the detail screen. The launcher's dependency verdict asks the same
+question of your dependencies: a mod whose hard dependency does not run on the
+selected game reads `Needs <id> (not for Gold)` rather than `Ready`.
+
+### Scoping dependencies per game / generation
+
+For mods targeting multiple generations (`"games": ["gen1", "gen2"]`), a hard
+dependency can be scoped to specific games so that it is only enforced when
+booting those games:
+
+```json
+"dependencies": [
+  { "id": "pokegear_cards", "games": ["gen2"], "range": "^1.0.0", "github": "1jamie/pokegear_cards" }
+]
+```
+
+When booting a Gen 1 game (Red, Blue, Yellow), the engine loader sees that
+`pokegear_cards` is scoped to `"gen2"` and will not skip or block the parent mod
+on Gen 1. When booting Gen 2 (Gold), `pokegear_cards` is strictly required.
+
+For conditional integrations where the dependency is optional across the board,
+`optional_dependencies` remains the standard pattern.
+
+### One limit worth knowing
+
+**Enablement is per game.** The overlay
+`options.modsByVersion[version][id]` is read and written through
+`SaveData.modEnabled` / `SaveData.setModEnabled` by the launcher, in-game
+manager, and loader. Existing shared settings are copied to every game the
+first time this version sees the installed mods; from then on, each coloured
+game checkbox changes only that game's next boot. Nothing about this affects a
+mod author; it affects what a player can express.
+
+Targeting is a different question from enablement and *is* enforced per game,
+as above. The two do not share a switch.
+
+## Step 3: prefer the API over the modules
+
+Before doing any adapter work, check whether you need the modules at all. In
+new code, take the live game from `mod.game` and the world from `mod.world`.
+Both resolve per generation inside the loader (`src/mods/Loader.lua:1021`):
+`mod.game` is `src/core/Game.lua`'s singleton under Gen 1 and the `Game2`
+*instance* Gold injected under Gen 2, read on every touch rather than cached;
+`mod.world` is `src/world/WorldAPI.lua` or `src/world/gen2/WorldAPI.lua` behind
+one method set. Neither needs `engine_internals`. The `game.ready` payload and
+every `ui.*` hook's first argument carry the same live game.
+
+Anything you can express as a registry write, a hook or an event subscription
+is generation-agnostic already and needs nothing from this document. The
+adapter exists for the code that was written before Gold did, and for the small
+number of things the API genuinely does not reach.
+
+## Step 4: the adapter, module by module
+
+On a Gen 2 boot with mods present, `require` is interposed
+(`Loader:_installDevShim`, `src/mods/Loader.lua:184`) and a require *made from
+a mod's own chunk* for one of fifteen Gen 1 names is answered by
+`src/mods/Gen2Compat.lua`. Engine code is unaffected: the shim compares the
+caller's chunk name against the engine tree, so `src/render/PaletteFX.lua`
+requiring `src.core.Game` still gets the real Gen 1 module on both generations.
+This is not a dev-mode feature; it installs on any Gold boot that has mods.
+
+| the name you require | kind | what you get | backed / warned / absent |
+| --- | --- | --- | --- |
+| `src.core.Game` | facade | a live proxy onto the `Game2` instance | 70 / 9 / 12 |

+| `src.battle.BattleState` | facade | over `src/ui/gen2/BattleState.lua` | 16 / 2 / 39 |
+| `src.ui.PartyMenu` | facade | over `src/ui/gen2/PartyMenu.lua` | 15 / 2 / 16 |
+| `src.world.WorldAPI` | alias | `src/world/gen2/WorldAPI.lua` | 15 / 2 / 0 |
+| `src.world.PikachuFollower` | alias | `src/world/gen2/Follower.lua` | 10 / 0 / 11 |
+| `src.script.ScriptRunner` | facade | over `src/script/gen2/Vm.lua` | 10 / 7 / 1 |
+| `src.ui.OptionsMenu` | facade | over `src/ui/gen2/OptionsMenu.lua` | 8 / 0 / 1 |
+| `src.world.FieldDefaults` | facade | the `playerSprites` answer and named refusals | 5 / 2 / 3 |
+| `src.world.Collision` | facade | `DELTA` / `target` / `occupied` / `canMove` | 4 / 1 / 0 |
+| `src.ui.StartMenu` | facade | over `src/ui/gen2/StartMenu.lua` | 4 / 0 / 0 |
+| `src.ui.BoxMenu` | alias | `src/ui/gen2/PcMenu.lua` | 1 / 0 / 0 |
+
+**Alias means the adapter *is* the Gen 2 module.** Your monkey-patch, your
+`rawset` sentinel and your `==` idempotency check all land on the table Gold
+actually runs, and `getmetatable(npc) == NPC` is true. Five names are aliases
+because nothing less would work: mods set their own trailer's metatable to
+`src.world.NPC`, a mod is handed `world.map` rather than building one, the
+loader builds every `mod.world` out of `src.world.WorldAPI` so a copy would
+give two, `src.world.PikachuFollower` is reached with `debug.setupvalue` on a
+file-local, and `Screens` caches `src.ui.BoxMenu` for `"Gen2PcMenu"` so a
+`.new` patch has to land there.
+
+Note that `src.ui.BoxMenu` points at `src/ui/gen2/PcMenu.lua`, not at
+`src/ui/gen2/BoxMenu.lua`. Gen 1's `BoxMenu` is Bill's PC *top menu*, whose
+Gold counterpart is `PcMenu`; Gold's `BoxMenu` is the withdraw/deposit *list*
+that Gen 1 builds inline.
+
+**Facade means a translating wrapper.** `.overworld` resolves `Game2.world`,
+`writeOptions` resolves `Game2:persistOptions`, `game.data.sprites` resolves
+`data.gen2Sprites`, `NPC.new(data, mapId, objDef)` is sniffed apart from
+`NPC.new(mapId, objDef, spriteDef)` and the movement vocabulary is translated
+with it. The four UI facades (`PartyMenu`, `StartMenu`, `OptionsMenu`,
+`BattleState`) are write-through: reads fall to the Gen 2 class and **writes go
+to the Gen 2 class**, so `PartyMenu.update = wrapper` still patches the live
+class Gold pushes. Your write also *reads back as your own value* -- after
+`PartyMenu.new = wrapper`, `PartyMenu.new` is `wrapper` and nothing else, so
+`rawequal` holds and an idempotency check works. That is what makes the ordinary
+capture-and-chain idiom safe: a wrapper that calls the value it captured reaches
+Gold's real constructor rather than re-entering the facade's own override.
+Writing `nil` clears the member instead of re-exposing the override underneath.
+
+The `src.world.OverworldController` facade is a facade over the live `World`,
+not over a class, so seven of its fields (`map`, `player`, `npcs`, `entities`,
+`ghosts`, `npcPool`, `camera`) read **and write** through to the running world:
+Gen 1's module *is* the singleton, so a write has to land somewhere real. A
+write made before a world exists is dropped with a warning rather than
+shadowing the world it would have applied to.
+
+### backed, warned, absent
+
+The adapter publishes what it covers, and the checker consumes that same table
+rather than a copy of it. Exactly three statuses, and a member listed as both
+resolves to the weaker one:
+
+- **`backed`** -- present, and it does the Gen 1 job on Gold. Read the note
+  anyway where there is one: several backed members are backed with a caveat
+  (`Boxes.COUNT` is 14 on Gold and not 12; `BattleState.say` ignores
+  `sayAuto`'s delay because Gold's messages always auto-advance;
+  `Collision.DELTA` is Gold's live table, so adding a key mutates Gold's own
+  movement).
+- **`warned`** -- present, answers nil or degrades, and names itself once in
+  the log with your mod attributed. `Game.renderer`, `Game.load`,
+  `Game.step`, `game.data.field`, `game.data.constants`,
+  `ScriptRunner.resume` / `.update` / `.parallel`, `PartyMenu.tmhm` and
+  `OverworldController.neighbors` / `.npcByIndex` are here. `neighbors` is the
+  shape of the whole category: Gold's rows are `{ id, ox, oy, image }` where
+  Gen 1's are `{ map = mapDef, ox, oy }`, so the field warns and answers nil
+  rather than handing back a list whose `nb.map` is nil on every row.
+- **`absent`** -- deliberately not on the table. It reads nil, which is the
+  honest failure. `BattleState.newWild`, `OverworldController.rollEncounter`,
+  `Map.warpPadOrHoleAt`, `PikachuFollower.shouldSpawn` and 157 others are
+  here. (`shouldSpawn` is absent as a *module member* on both generations: it
+  is a file-local, reached through `setShouldSpawn` or the upvalue of that
+  name, and the coverage table says so rather than implying a field exists.)
+
+"Absent" means *not served*, not *wrong*. Every one of them was left off for a
+stated reason, and the reason is in the coverage note. `BattleState.newWild` is
+the clearest case: Gold has no factory that returns an unpushed battle, because
+`World:startBattle` constructs and pushes in one call, so a `newWild` taking a
+species and a level would be a lie about what Gold's battle screen is. The
+route for the thing you were actually doing (rewriting the species of a wild
+encounter) is the `encounter.species` hook, which Gold raises under the same
+name with the same shape.
+
+A member the table does not record is not a guarantee of anything. What it does
+depends on the adapter: an alias hands you the Gen 2 module's own member,
+whatever that is; a write-through facade falls to the Gen 2 class; the
+`src.core.Game` facade names it in the log and reads nil; the
+`src.world.OverworldController` facade reads nil silently. The checker is
+silent about it too.
+
+### Reading the coverage yourself
+
+The table is queryable, and it is the same query the checker makes:
+
+```lua
+local Gen2Compat = require("src.mods.Gen2Compat")
+
+Gen2Compat.modules()                 -- the 15 served names, sorted
+Gen2Compat.serves("src.world.Map")   -- true
+Gen2Compat.memberStatus("src.battle.BattleState", "newWild")  -- "absent"
+
+local c = Gen2Compat.coverage("src.world.Map")
+-- { module, kind = "facade"|"alias", target, members = { [name] = status },
+--   notes = { [name-or-topic] = "one line" } }
+```
+
+`Gen2Compat.COVERAGE_VERSION` is 1 and `Gen2Compat.STATUS` carries the three
+status strings. `notes` keys are documentation topics, not a member list:
+dotted paths (`save.money`), field names (`warpAt`), hook names
+(`hook ui.pc.items`) and bare topics (`identity`, `iteration`, `rawset`) all
+appear there. `members` is the authoritative set.
+
+To dump the lot for one module:
+
+```sh
+luajit -e 'package.path="./?.lua;"..package.path
+local G=require("src.mods.Gen2Compat")
+local c=G.coverage("src.world.OverworldController")
+for m,s in pairs(c.members) do print(s,m) end
+for k,v in pairs(c.notes) do print("note",k,v) end'
+```
+
+## The patterns no adapter can fix
+
+Five shapes come up in nearly every real Gen 1 mod, and none of them can be
+fixed on the engine side without lying to you. Each one has a route that works
+on both generations.
+
+### 1. A hardcoded version allow-list
+
+```lua
+local v = GameVersion.get()
+if v ~= "red" and v ~= "blue" and v ~= "yellow" then return false end
+```
+
+This excludes you from Gold by construction, and it does so *after* everything
+else in your mod has been made to work, which is why it produces the most
+confusing possible outcome: the adapter resolves, your patches land, and the
+feature still never appears. `MK409` catches it.
+
+**Instead**, test for the thing the branch actually depends on. If it is there
+because a member might be missing, test the member:
+
+```lua
+local Follower = require("src.world.PikachuFollower")
+if Follower.setShouldSpawn then ... end   -- present on Gold, absent on Gen 1
+```
+
+If it is there because a piece of per-cart content might be missing, test the
+content -- `mod.find` and the merged data tables answer that in both games.
+Version tests stay legitimate for genuinely per-cart *content*, which is what
+Yellow's starter rename is; they are never right as a gate on a whole feature.
+
+### 2. String-matching a screen id
+
+```lua
+if id == "BoxMenu" then ... end
+```
+
+Gold's builtin screens are registered under `Gen2`-prefixed ids, so this
+matches nothing there. `Screens.GEN2_IDS` in `src/ui/Screens.lua` is the full
+list, 51 ids: `Gen2BoxMenu`, `Gen2PartyMenu`, `Gen2NamingScreen`,
+`Gen2Credits` and 47 more. `MK409` catches this exact line: it keys off the
+string literal itself, not off a screen-shaped word elsewhere on the line, so
+`if id == "BoxMenu" then` is flagged where it used to slip through. The price
+of that is deliberate breadth -- any literal equal to a Gen 1 screen id with a
+`Gen2` twin is warned about, wherever it appears -- so the message states what
+is true of the literal rather than guessing what the surrounding code meant.
+It is a warn, and reading past a false one costs you nothing.
+
+**Instead**, either match both ids, or stop matching ids and take the seam the
+screen offers. Most screens a mod wants to decorate raise a hook whose name is
+shared across both generations -- `ui.start_menu.items`, `ui.options.rows`,
+`ui.party.submenu`, `ui.pc.items`, `ui.naming.grid`, `ui.list_menu` -- and a
+hook subscription needs no id at all. Where you genuinely must key off the id:
+
+```lua
+local BOX_IDS = { BoxMenu = true, Gen2PcMenu = true }
+if BOX_IDS[id] then ... end
+```
+
+Watch the pairing. `ui.pc.items` has the same name on both sides but a
+different menu behind it: Gen 1 raises it over the WHICH-PC list, Gold over
+Bill's PC's own rows. And Gen 1's `BoxMenu` pairs with `Gen2PcMenu`, not with
+`Gen2BoxMenu`.
+
+### 3. `debug.setupvalue` on an engine local
+
+```lua
+local idx = findUpvalue(PikachuFollower.update, "shouldSpawn")
+debug.setupvalue(PikachuFollower.update, idx, myPredicate)
+```
+
+This only ever worked because the Gen 1 file happened to hold that predicate in
+a file-local of that name. Nothing about the engine promises it, and on the Gen
+2 side the local has to exist under the same name and hold the same thing for
+the surgery to land. Today it does: `src/world/gen2/Follower.lua:23` declares
+`local shouldSpawn` for exactly this reason, so follower mods reaching for it
+work unchanged on Gold. That is a deliberate courtesy, not a contract.
+
+`MK407` fires in the two cases where the surgery cannot land: when a Gen 2 boot
+resolves the member to something that is not a function (so `debug.setupvalue`
+raises), and when the function it does resolve to does not close over that
+name, in which case the message quotes the upvalues it *does* close over. The
+check resolves the member through the adapter exactly as the loader does and
+enumerates the resolved function's real upvalues, so a local that merely
+appears somewhere in the Gen 2 file is never mistaken for one -- that used to
+be the check, and it blessed surgery that landed on nothing. `MK408` fires when
+the scan could not resolve the member either way, which is what you get when
+`luajit` is not on `PATH`: the check degrades to an honest warn, never to a
+reassuring note.
+
+**Instead**, use the named seam when there is one, and fall back only when
+there is not:
+
+```lua
+if Follower.setShouldSpawn then
+  Follower.setShouldSpawn(myPredicate)      -- Gen 2, and any future Gen 1 arm
+else
+  patchUpvalue(Follower.update, "shouldSpawn", myPredicate)   -- Gen 1 today
+end
+```
+
+`Follower.setShouldSpawn` writes the same cell `debug.setupvalue` reaches, so
+the two cannot disagree. Note the presence test is doing real work:
+`src/world/PikachuFollower.lua` has no `setShouldSpawn`, so this is not a
+rename you can apply blindly. Note also that the predicate is called
+`(game, world)` on Gold where Gen 1 passes `(game, ow)` -- the same object under
+a different name, so a predicate reading `ow.player` or `ow.map` is unchanged.
+
+### 4. Capturing state off `src.core.Game` at file scope
+
+```lua
+local Game = require("src.core.Game")
+local save = Game.save          -- nil forever
+local party = Game.save.party   -- error at load
+```
+
+The module require itself is fine and is meant to be: the Gen 2 `src.core.Game`
+is a proxy that reads the live `Game2` instance on *every* touch, precisely so
+that a mod capturing it at file scope, before a save or a world exists, keeps
+working once they do. What does not survive is capturing a *field* off it at
+file scope, which snapshots nil. This is true on Gen 1 as well; Gold just makes
+it bite more often because the entry chunk runs earlier relative to the world.
+`MK410` catches the file-scope read of a member the Gen 1 module only ever
+writes as `self.<name>`.
+
+**Instead**, read through the facade at the moment you need the value, or take
+the live game from the `game.ready` payload:
+
+```lua
+local Game = require("src.core.Game")
+mod.events:on("game.ready", function(ev)
+  local game = ev.game            -- the real Game2 instance
+  local party = Game.save.party   -- read now, not at file scope
+end)
+```
+
+Three further properties of the proxy that a Gen 1 mod can trip over, all
+recorded in the coverage notes:
+
+- **Identity.** The proxy can never compare equal to the `Game2` instance the
+  `game.ready` payload carries. Lua 5.1 fires `__eq` only when both operands
+  share a metatable, so `Game == ev.game` is false on Gold. Do not use it as
+  an idempotency check.
+- **Iteration.** `pairs`, `next` and `rawget` see an *empty* table, because the
+  proxy holds nothing of its own. Enumerate the `game.ready` payload instead.
+- **`rawset`.** `rawset(Game, k, v)` lands on the proxy, reads back correctly
+  through the same facade, and is completely invisible to the engine. That
+  read-back is what hides it. Use a plain assignment, which writes through to
+  the live instance.
+
+The save layout moved too, and those fields are absent rather than aliased so
+that a wrong read is loud rather than silent: `save.money` is
+`save.player.money`, `save.player.map` / `.x` / `.y` / `.facing` are
+`save.position.*`, and `save.player.rival` is `save.rival.name`. `save` itself
+is a straight pass-through on purpose.
+
+### 5. Monkey-patching a class, and the two ways it goes wrong
+
+Patching a shared class method is *supported*, and this is worth stating
+plainly because it is the thing most authors expect to have to rewrite. The
+four UI facades write through: `__newindex` forwards to the Gen 2 class, so
+
+```lua
+local PartyMenu = require("src.ui.PartyMenu")
+local origUpdate = PartyMenu.update
+function PartyMenu.update(self, dt) ... return origUpdate(self, dt) end
+```
+
+lands on the class Gold actually pushes. Aliases are the class, so the same
+holds there.
+
+Two variants do not work, and neither can be made to.
+
+**Patching a member the Gen 2 class does not have.** The write succeeds, reads
+back as your own function, and nothing ever calls it. `BattleState.newWild =
+wrapper` is the canonical case: the assignment is taken, and no Gold code path
+reads that name. This is the one place the read-back works against you, which
+is why `MK404` reports the write site separately from the read site.
+
+**Patching a field on a live instance.** `menu.onSwitch = fn` writes a field
+Gen 2 never reads -- Gold takes it as `onChoose` at construction. Same for
+`menu.swapFrom` (renamed `switchFrom`) and for `StartMenu`'s `tx` / `ty` / `tw`
+/ `th` / `anchor` / `maxVisible`, which do not exist on Gold at all because the
+box is fixed at `Chrome.box(10, 0, 10, h)`. A write to any of them is inert.
+Pass what you need to `.new` instead: `PartyMenu.new(game, { onSwitch = f })`
+with no `battle`, `pickOnly` or `forceSwitch` opens the plain list and calls
+`onSwitch(mon, menu)` on A, which is the Gen 1 behavior the facade reproduces.
+
+A close relative worth calling out because it errors rather than no-ops:
+`map.warpAt` is a name collision, not a rename. Gen 1's is a *table* keyed by
+cell; Gold's `Map:warpAt` is a *method* of the same name. `map.warpAt[cell]`
+and `pairs(map.warpAt)` both raise, which is loud but points at your mod.
+Enumerate `map.warps`, which Gold carries as an ordered array.
+
+## A worked migration
+
+Here is one real one, start to finish. The mod is a follower pack written for
+Red/Blue/Yellow. `gen2check` reports `MK400` on the manifest, `MK404` twice on
+`BattleState.newWild` and `MK409` on a version allow-list, plus a note
+confirming its `shouldSpawn` surgery lands.
+
+**Before.** Three separate problems in about twenty lines.
+
+```lua
+local BattleState      = require("src.battle.BattleState")
+local PikachuFollower  = require("src.world.PikachuFollower")
+local GameVersion      = require("src.core.GameVersion")
+
+return function(mod)
+  -- (1) rewrite the starter encounter's species
+  local origNewWild = BattleState.newWild
+  BattleState.newWild = function(game, species, level, ...)
+    if species == "PIKACHU" and level == 5 then species = "CHARMANDER" end
+    return origNewWild(game, species, level, ...)
+  end
+
+  -- (2) decide whether a follower spawns
+  local newShouldSpawn = function(game, ow)
+    local v = GameVersion.get()
+    if v ~= "red" and v ~= "blue" and v ~= "yellow" then return false end
+    return packSize(game) > 0
+  end
+
+  -- (3) install it
+  patchUpvalue(PikachuFollower.update,       "shouldSpawn", newShouldSpawn)
+  patchUpvalue(PikachuFollower.onMapEntered, "shouldSpawn", newShouldSpawn)
+end
+```
+
+On Gold: (1) assigns onto a name nothing reads, so the species rewrite never
+happens. (2) returns false for every Gold boot, so no follower ever spawns.
+(3) actually works, and works on a predicate that has already decided to do
+nothing. Two silent failures and one correct mechanism pointed at them.
+
+**After.** The manifest gains `"games": ["gen1", "gen2"]`, and:
+
+```lua
+local PikachuFollower = require("src.world.PikachuFollower")
+
+return function(mod)
+  -- (1) the species of a wild encounter is a hook on both generations
+  mod.hooks:wrap("encounter.species", function(next, enc, ctx)
+    local rolled = next(enc, ctx)
+    if rolled and rolled.species == "PIKACHU" and rolled.level == 5 then
+      rolled.species = "CHARMANDER"
+    end
+    return rolled
+  end)
+
+  -- (2) no cart check: whether there is a pack to walk is the whole question
+  local newShouldSpawn = function(game, ow)
+    return packSize(game) > 0
+  end
+
+  -- (3) the named seam where there is one, the upvalue where there is not
+  if PikachuFollower.setShouldSpawn then
+    PikachuFollower.setShouldSpawn(newShouldSpawn)
+  else
+    patchUpvalue(PikachuFollower.update,       "shouldSpawn", newShouldSpawn)
+    patchUpvalue(PikachuFollower.onMapEntered, "shouldSpawn", newShouldSpawn)
+  end
+end
+```
+
+`gen2check` now reports clean, and the mod is shorter than it was on Gen 1
+alone. That is the usual shape of this work: two of the three fixes replace
+engine surgery with an API that existed the whole time, and only the third
+needs a generation branch.
+
+The one change that is *not* a simplification is the hook's contract. A wrapper
+takes `(next, ...)` and must call `next` with the arguments it was handed, where
+the monkey-patch could do as it liked with them. `encounter.species` transforms
+a rolled `{ species, level }` and gets a `ctx` beside it: Gen 1 fills in
+`mapId`, `terrain` and `rng`, and Gold adds `daytime`, `environment`, `kind`
+(`"wild"` / `"contest"` / `"script"` / `"sweet_scent"`), `tables` and `data`.
+So the same
+subscription serves both games, and a Gold-only refinement is a field test
+rather than a second hook. That is the trade: a narrower seam that both engines
+raise, in exchange for not owning a function neither engine promised you.
+
+## Testing
+
+**Headless, without a Gold cache.** The SDK harness takes the generation
+directly, and everything after that is the production path -- same loader, same
+validate, same topological sort, same merge:
+
+```lua
+local run = T.sdk.loadMod("mods/my_mod", { generation = 2 })
+T.eq(run.mod and run.mod.state, "loaded",
+  "runs on gen 2: " .. tostring(run.mod and run.mod.skipReason))
+T.eq(#run.errors, 0, "and loads with no boot errors")
+run.release()
+```
+
+**Assert the state, not just the error count.** A gate skip is deliberately not
+an error: `Loader:_skip` sets `mod.state` and `mod.skipReason` and stays off
+`loader.errors`, because neither the mod nor its dependency has a bug. So
+`T.eq(#run.errors, 0)` on its own passes for a mod that never ran a line, which
+is the one result you were testing to rule out. `run.mod.state` is `"loaded"`
+when the entry chunk ran and `"wrong_generation"` when the gate or the
+dependency contagion took it, with `run.mod.skipReason` carrying the sentence
+the manager would show. Keep the error assertion too: it is what catches a
+registry with no Gen 2 home and a require the adapter does not serve, both of
+which *do* land on `loader.errors`.
+
+**On a real Gold boot.** Nothing above substitutes for running it. Import Gold
+in the launcher, enable your mod, and play the part your mod touches. Be
+precise about where the adapter talks to you, because the two channels are not
+the same:
+
+- **The log** carries the adapter's own warnings, each attributed to the mod
+  holding the facade (`[my_mod] Game.renderer has no Gen 2 backing: ...`), so a
+  member that degraded tells you which one and why. `Gen2Compat.warnOnce` goes
+  to `Logger.warn` and nowhere else -- these do **not** appear in the manager.
+- **The manager's error feed** (`loader.errors`) is a shorter list: a mod that
+  failed validation, a duplicate mod id, a registry with no Gen 2 target, a
+  cross-validation problem, and the one adapter-adjacent case, a require for a
+  Gen 1 module the adapter does not serve. A skipped mod is not on it, and
+  neither is a degraded member.
+
+So: read the log for coverage problems, and the manager for load problems.
+
+`POKEPORT_IDENTITY=<name>` sandboxes the save directory if you want a clean
+profile to test in, and `POKEPORT_DEV=1` adds the console and `F5` hot reload.
+
+## What this guide does not promise
+
+- **Coverage is partial and will stay partial.** 15 Gen 1 modules are served
+  out of a much larger engine, and within those 15 the coverage table records
+  291 backed members against 32 warned and 161 absent. The absent ones are not
+  a backlog; most are absent because there is no honest Gen 2 answer, and each
+  one carries its reason. The counts move as the adapter learns something: a
+  member that turns out to answer nil is demoted from backed to warned or
+  absent rather than left flattering the table.
+- **Absent is not broken, it is not-served.** A nil read is the designed
+  outcome. If you would rather have an error, test for the member before you
+  use it.
+- **The checker is a static scan.** It cannot follow a require built at
+  runtime, cannot tie every `debug` call to a module, and says nothing at all
+  about a member the coverage table does not record. What it *can* do is admit
+  each of those individually, with a file and a line, as an `unresolved:` note.
+  Read the notes as part of the report: a clean finding list with notes under
+  it means "nothing known-broken was found in the part I could follow", and
+  only a clean finding list with no notes means the scan followed everything.
+- **A backed member can still surprise you.** `backed` means the adapter took
+  responsibility for the Gen 1 call shape, not that Gold behaves identically.
+  Run `gen2check --notes` once and read the caveats on the members you touch.
+- **The adapter is not a compatibility layer for new code.** It exists so mods
+  written before Gold existed keep working. If you are writing something now,
+  `mod.game`, `mod.world`, the registries and the hooks mean the same thing in
+  both games and need none of this.

-# RFC 0001 — Port Yellow's `IsSurfingPikachuInParty` surf sprite
-
-## Status
-
-Proposed. Engine: `Player.lua`, `FieldDefaults.lua`,
-`OverworldController.lua`, `RomExtractor.lua`, `PaletteFX.lua`. Tools:
-`build_rom_data.py`, `extract/sprites.py`, `make_rom_manifest.py`,
-`make_yellow_manifest.py`. Tests: `parity_surfing_pikachu_sprite.lua`,

-
-**Regeneration required.** The manifest and sprite sheet update by
-re-running `make_yellow_manifest.py` against a `pret/pokeyellow`
-checkout, then re-importing the Yellow ROM.
-
-## Motivation
-
-Yellow's `IsSurfingPikachuInParty` + `LoadSurfingPlayerSpriteGraphics2`
-(`home/map_objects.asm`, `home/overworld.asm`) swap the player's
-overworld sheet to `SurfingPikachuSprite` (`gfx/sprites/
-surfing_pikachu.2bpp`, a 16×96 walk sheet — not the minigame sheets)
-when the party mon that knows SURF is a Pikachu. The recomp misses this
-in two places:
-
-1. **Extraction.** `SurfingPikachuSprite` is not in
-   `SpriteSheetPointerTable` — loaded by its own `ld de,` like
-   `RedBikeSprite`. The extractor never sees it, and the symbol is not
-   in the Yellow manifest.
-2. **Engine rule.** `field.playerSprites.surf` is one static
-   (`SPRITE_SEEL`), cached at boot. No seam for "swap when the SURF-mon
-   is a Pikachu."
-
-## The decision it extends
-
-No prior D-number. Extends the surf-field-move port in
-`docs/behavior-porting-notes.md` (the `IsSurfingAllowed` exact port)
-with the player-sprite swap vanilla runs alongside it.
-
-## The exact API delta
-
-Backward-compatible, additive-only.
-
-### `field.playerSprites.surfPikachu`
-
-New optional key alongside `walk`/`surf`/`bike`/`fly`, defaults to
-`SPRITE_SURFING_PIKACHU`. Guarded in `Player.new` so before extraction
-lands the ride keeps the Seel — no plain on-water Pikachu.
-
-### `Player.surfPikachuSprite`
-
-`Player.new` builds a second `SpriteRenderer` when the field resolves.
-`pose()` picks it when `surfing and surfingPikachu`.
-
-### `Player.surfingPikachu` (runtime)
-
-Runtime-only boolean (not persisted); re-derived so a party change
-between save and load is honored.
-
-### `OverworldState:syncSurfingPikachu()`
-
-Sets `player.surfingPikachu` from `partyKnows("SURF")`. Called at every
-surf-state toggle: trySurf, dismount, flyTo, beginTeleportOut,
-warpToHealPoint, forced-surf tile, setMap boot-restore.
-
-### Importer — `SPRITE_SURFING_PIKACHU`
-
-`make_yellow_manifest.py` adds `SurfingPikachuSprite` to
-`YELLOW_EXTRA_SYMBOLS`. `make_rom_manifest.py`'s `sprite_metadata()`
-gains a `surfPikachu` entry (guarded, so Red/Blue unchanged).
-`RomExtractor.extractSprites` + `build_rom_data.py` + `extract/sprites.py`
-each gain a parallel extract mirroring `RedBikeSprite`.
-
-### `PaletteFX.spriteObp`
-
-`SurfingPikachuSprite` joins `RedBikeSprite` in the no-bracket-index
-special case, wearing the player's OBP palette so it colors in GBC mode.
-
-## Migration note for existing mods
-
-**Nothing.** `surf` still defaults to `SPRITE_SEEL`; `surfPikachu`
-only resolves on a Yellow import after regeneration. No manifest or
-`mod.save` shape changes. An eligibility hook that swaps a rental
-SURF-mon still drives the sprite pick via `partyKnows`.
-
-## Parity tests
-
- **No-mod** (`mod_world_tests.lua`): `surf == "SPRITE_SEEL"`,
-  `surfPikachu == "SPRITE_SURFING_PIKACHU"` seeded at boot. The 19229-check

-# RFC 0002 — Let mods hide an active screen state from the main render
-
-## Status
-
-Proposed. Engine: `StateStack.lua`, `Game.lua`. Tests:
-`screen_render_visible.lua`.
-
-## Motivation
-
-A mod can render a native menu on a companion display through
-`render.compose`, but it cannot remove that menu from the main display without
-also popping it. Popping transfers update and input ownership and forces the
-mod to reimplement native menu behavior.

-state-stack rendering contract in `docs/architecture.md`.

-### `screen.render_visible`
-
-New hook called with `(state) -> boolean` through the public wrapper signature
-`(next, state)`. Its vanilla result is `true`.
-
-Returning `false` excludes the state from the main draw, from opaque-base
-selection and from palette-zone ownership. It does not remove the state or
-change update, input, push or pop behavior. The call sites are
-`StateStack:visibleBase`, `StateStack:draw` and the equivalent draw and palette
-walks in `Game:draw`.
-
-The hook is guarded by `Runtime.wantsHook`, so the no-subscriber path allocates
-nothing. It is a pure render predicate and may be evaluated more than once per

-**Nothing.** With no subscriber every state remains visible, and the existing

-
-## Parity tests
-
- **No-mod:** the topmost opaque state still owns drawing and palette zones,
-  and `Runtime.wantsHook("screen.render_visible")` stays false.
- **Mod-API:** a fixture mod registers through `mod.hooks:wrap`, hides one

-battle starts. That makes packet ownership fragile and gives a future
-shared-world mode no stable host/guest-aware boundary to reuse.
-
-The engine needs one small layer that preserves today's wire protocol while
-owning received-packet order and terminal cleanup. Pokémon, battle, tournament,
-save, and overworld rules remain outside that layer.
-
-## The decision it extends
-
-Extends the existing split between `Net` (backend setup, framing, and relay
-controls), `Handshake`/`Protocol` (mode payloads), and the states that
-interpret those payloads. It does not replace any of those components.
-
-## The exact API delta
-
-Backward-compatible and internal-only.
-
-### `Session.new(transport, options)`
-
-Wraps one successfully configured Net-compatible transport. `options.role`
-is exactly `"host"` or `"guest"`; `options.kind` is a non-empty
-local label such as `"link"` or `"tournament"`. Role and kind are
-immutable session metadata selected locally and are never inferred from peer
-packets.
-
-The facade forwards the narrow fields current consumers need:
-`paired`, `code`, `address`, `target`,
-`error`, and `closed`.
-It forwards valid outbound tables unchanged through `send(message)`.
-
-### Receive and lifecycle methods
-
- `update()` pumps the transport, validates decoded inbound values, and
-  appends accepted messages to a private FIFO.
- `pollOne()` removes the oldest queued message.
- `poll()` removes every queued message in order.
- `take(type)` removes the first queued message with that type without
-  disturbing any other message.
- `hasPending()` reports whether the FIFO is non-empty.
- `getRole()`, `getKind()`, `getStatus()`, and
-  `getFailure()` expose local metadata and lifecycle.
- `close()` closes the underlying transport once and is safe to repeat.
-
-Statuses are `connecting`, `paired`, `draining`, `closed`,
-and `failed`. A transport close or failure becomes `draining` while
-accepted packets remain queued. The terminal `closed`/`error`
-compatibility projection appears only after that FIFO drains, so a last packet
-travelling with a disconnect remains observable.
-
-An inbound value is structurally valid only when it is a table with a string
-`type`. Invalid decoded values end the session with a protocol failure.
-Unknown but structurally valid types remain queued for the owning mode; the
-session does not contain a packet allowlist.
-
-## Authority direction
-
-A later `WorldSession` may compose this facade. In that mode the host
-will own the world snapshot, map state, NPC state, event results, and shared
-progression. A guest will bring a trainer identity plus their Pokémon party,
-inventory, and other explicitly selected profile snapshot.
-
-Guest profile data and commands will be untrusted input. The host must validate
-them and must authorize every world mutation before rebroadcasting the result.
-The concrete snapshot schema, command vocabulary, conflict rules, and
-persistence policy require a separate RFC and are not introduced here.
-
-## Compatibility and security
-
-No packet envelope, message name, payload shape, framing rule, relay protocol,
-save schema, or engine protocol version changes. Existing valid outbound
-messages encode exactly as before, and existing link and tournament screens
-keep their current player-facing behavior.
-
-The layer does not authenticate players or encrypt traffic. Existing LAN and
-relay access assumptions remain unchanged; knowledge of a join address or code
-still grants the same access it grants today. Authentication, reconnect
-identity, rate limits, and abuse controls remain future protocol decisions.
-
-## Migration note for players, mods, and peers
-
-**Nothing.** `LinkState` and `Tournament` adopt the facade
-internally. Existing peers receive the same messages, mods gain no new API, and
-players do not migrate saves or settings.
-
-## Parity tests
-
- **ROM-free facade:** constructor validation, immutable role/kind, unchanged
-  send shape, FIFO ordering, typed retrieval, unknown typed packets, draining,
-  terminal failure latching, protected transport calls, and decoded-value
-  rejection.
- **Existing modes:** source guards prohibit direct inbox mutation; headless
-  module loads and the complete engine tier cover both migrated states.
- **ROM-backed link play:** run the existing link driver when generated ROM
-  data is available; the normal quick suite remains the required baseline.
-
-## Deprecation etiquette and non-goals
-
-Nothing deprecated. This RFC adds an internal facade and removes no transport
-method.
-
-It does not add shared-world packets, co-op screens, a remote actor, save
-transfer, server persistence, matchmaking, reconnect, or a protocol-version
-bump. Those changes require the world-specific layer and its own review.

-# RFC 0003 — Playthrough-scoped mod storage
-
-## Status
-
-Proposed. Engine: `SaveData.lua`, `SaveSerializer.lua`, `Storage.lua`,
-`Loader.lua`. Tests: `playthrough_identity.lua`, `storage.lua`, the existing
-save-slot and mod-save suites.
-
-## Motivation
-
-`mod.save` intentionally lives inside the normal progress record. That is the
-right home for quest state, but not for independent tool data such as replay
-captures, checkpoint histories, or recovery records: writing it would require a
-normal Pokémon SAVE, and storing copies of progress beneath `save.modData` would
-recursively embed the save that contains them.
-
-Mods also cannot safely infer which launcher slot or portable filesystem backs
-the active playthrough. Direct filesystem access would expose private paths and
-make isolation dependent on engine implementation details.
-
-## The decision it extends
-
-Extends the per-mod persistence contract documented in `docs/modding.md` and the
-wiki's Save Model. `mod.save` and `mod.options` keep their existing behavior.
-
-## The exact API delta
-
-Backward-compatible, additive-only. `Loader:_api` binds a new `mod.storage`
-facade to the calling mod id. Mods receive logical keys and decoded values, never
-filesystem handles or physical paths.
-
-### Lazy opaque playthrough identity
-
-`SaveData.ensurePlaythroughId(save[, fs]) -> id | nil` allocates an opaque
-32-hex-character identity without consuming gameplay RNG. It is called only when
-`mod.storage` or `mod.checkpoints` first needs a scope; New Game, ordinary SAVE,
-and ordinary load remain byte-compatible when no caller uses either API.
-
-The id is stored in `save.meta.playthroughId` after allocation. Until the next
-ordinary SAVE writes it into progress, a mapping in `options.lua` keeps legacy
-saves stable by game version and active launcher slot (or the legacy flat-save
-scope). A newly created playthrough never adopts the previous playthrough's
-mapping for that slot.
-
-`SaveData.persistenceFs([fs])` is engine-only routing used by the storage
-implementation. It follows the same standard/portable backend as progress and
-honors injected test filesystems; it is not exposed on the mod object.
-
-### `mod.storage:context(game)`
-
-Returns:
-
-```lua
-{ engineVersion = "0.9.0", gameVersion = "red", playthroughId = "..." }
-```
-
-or `nil, code, message`. `engineVersion` is warning-grade compatibility metadata;
-the context intentionally omits launcher slot ids and paths.
-
-### `mod.storage:write(game, key, value)`
-
-Accepts a data-only table and returns `true`, or
-`false, code, message`. Keys are nonempty slash-separated segments containing
-letters, digits, underscore, or dash. Empty segments, leading/trailing slash,
-`.`/`..`, and other characters are rejected.
-
-The engine encodes deterministically, stages and decodes a `.tmp` witness,
-preserves the previous valid generation, writes and decodes the main record,
-then rolls the verified bytes to `.bak`. A failed stage or replacement leaves a
-verified prior generation readable.
-
-### `mod.storage:read(game, key)`
-
-Returns a freshly decoded table, or `nil, code, message`. It tries main, staged,
-then backup data. A valid staged/backup value is returned and promoted
-best-effort; corrupt bytes are never executed.
-
-### `mod.storage:list(game[, prefix])`
-
-Returns sorted logical keys beneath a valid prefix, an exact key when the prefix
-names one, or `nil, code, message`. Physical witness filenames are hidden.
-
-### `mod.storage:delete(game, key)`
-
-Deletes only that key's main, backup, and staged witnesses. Returns `true`, or
-`false, code, message`.
-
-### Scope and errors
-
-Physical records are scoped as:
-
-`persistence root / mod_storage / game version / playthrough id / mod id`
-
-Stable error codes are `not_in_playthrough`, `storage_unavailable`,
-`invalid_key`, `encode_failed`, `write_failed`, `verify_failed`, and
-`not_found`. Ordinary data and I/O failures are return values, not callback-
-terminating errors.
-
-The restricted serializer's recursive writer runs outside LuaJIT traces. A
-1,000-process GC stress regression found compiled recursion could intermittently
-drop a newly inserted nested identity entry and produce undecodable bytes; save
-encoding is infrequent and I/O-bound, so interpreter execution is the safe
-boundary.
-
-## Migration note for existing mods
-
-**Nothing.** No API is removed, no manifest field changes, and no storage path or
-playthrough id is created unless a mod invokes `mod.storage` or
-`mod.checkpoints`. Existing save bytes remain unchanged on the no-caller path.
-
-## Parity tests
-
- **No-mod:** New Game plus ordinary save/load creates no identity or storage
-  file; the existing save-slot and mod-save suites remain green.
- **Engine identity:** lazy allocation, save/load preservation, stable legacy
-  mapping, fresh-playthrough replacement, and version/slot isolation.
- **Public Mod API:** two real API-2 entry chunks prove data-only roundtrip,
-  deterministic listing, key rejection, mod/game/playthrough isolation,
-  corrupt-main recovery, failure retention, exact delete, and no-mod no-write.

-## Deprecation etiquette

-Nothing deprecated. The additions are one bound public facade and engine-private
-persistence/identity helpers.

-# RFC 0004 — Stable runtime checkpoints for mods
-
-## Status
-
-Proposed. Engine: `Checkpoint.lua`, `Game.lua`, `OverworldController.lua`,
-`Loader.lua`. Tests: `checkpoints.lua`, existing world and engine suites.
-
-## Motivation
-
-Mods can observe world events and request semantic actions, but no supported API
-can capture canonical progress at a proven-safe runtime boundary or reconstruct
-the overworld without replaying map-entry scripts. Reaching into the state stack,
-controller, ScriptRunner, or save restore internals would bind distributable mods
-to private objects and can duplicate story side effects.
-
-The engine is the only component that can authoritatively decide whether the
-runtime is settled and rebuild its controller objects. A generic checkpoint seam
-lets tools store data-only records while keeping those responsibilities private.
-
-## The decision it extends
-
-Extends the public world/tool surfaces in `docs/modding.md`. It does not change
-`mod.world`, normal CONTINUE, vanilla SAVE, or save lifecycle hooks/events.
-
-## The exact API delta
-
-Backward-compatible, additive-only. `Loader:_api` binds `mod.checkpoints`; mods
-never receive `Game`, StateStack, controller, coroutine, renderer, or filesystem
-internals inside a checkpoint.
-
-### `mod.checkpoints:inspect(game)`
-
-Returns a capability record. Stable overworld control returns:
-
-```lua
-{ canCapture = true, canRestore = true, kind = "overworld" }
-```
-
-A refusal returns the same booleans as `false` plus `kind`, `reason`, and a
-player-readable `message`. Format-1 supports only an overworld whose controller
-is topmost, player movement has settled on a tile, and no transition, foreground
-or parallel ScriptRunner, queued script, scripted move, engagement, emote,
-teleport, field animation, or similar partial controller mutation is active.
-
-Refusal reasons are `not_in_playthrough`, `not_overworld`, `screen_busy`,
-`transition_busy`, `script_busy`, `animation_busy`, and `movement_busy`.
-Identity allocation is lazy and happens only after an active topmost overworld
-has been established.
-
-### `mod.checkpoints:capture(game)`
-
-Returns a detached data-only format-1 checkpoint, or
-`nil, code, message`:
-
-```lua
-{
-  format = 1,
-  kind = "overworld",
-  identity = {
-    engineVersion = "...", gameVersion = "red", playthroughId = "...",
-  },
-  save = { -- canonical dynamic progress, excluding global options },
-  runtime = { overworld = {
-    map = "PALLET_TOWN", x = 5, y = 6,
-    facing = "down", surfing = false,
-  } },
-}
-```
-
-`engineVersion` is metadata for caller compatibility warnings; the engine does
-not reject patch/minor mismatches on restore. Capture deep-copies through the restricted serializer before and after
-`OverworldController:captureSave` synchronizes live map, tile, facing, and surf
-state. It excludes `save.options`, functions, userdata, threads, metatables as
-behavior, controller instances, and static content registries. Failure code
-`capture_failed` covers non-data progress and synchronization errors.
-
-### `mod.checkpoints:restore(game, checkpoint)`
-
-Returns `true`, or `false, code, message`. Before mutation it requires the current
-runtime to be capturable and validates a detached copy of the complete record:
-format, kind, internal identity consistency, current game/playthrough identity,
-map availability, integral in-bounds tile, facing, surfing, and synchronized save
-position.
-
-Validation codes are `invalid_checkpoint`, `invalid_content`, `unsupported_format`,
-`unsupported_runtime_kind`, `wrong_game`, `wrong_playthrough`, `invalid_map`, and
-`invalid_position`, in addition to the capability refusal reasons.
-
-The canonical save validator runs against the detached record. Unlike ordinary
-CONTINUE, a checkpoint never accepts a quarantine, remap, reclaim, clamp, or
-repair: any such content change returns `invalid_content` before live mutation.
-
-The engine captures an in-memory rollback checkpoint, preserves current global
-options, then reconstructs semantic overworld state through
-`Game:restoreCheckpointSave`. Checkpoint entry suppresses normal map exit/entry
-events, `onEnter` scripts, forced-movement/current checks, and last-map rewrites;
-it does not emit normal `save.loading`/`save.loaded` lifecycle events. After
-reconstruction, the engine recaptures and byte-compares normalized data. A failed
-apply rolls back and returns `restore_failed`; failure of that rollback returns
-`rollback_failed`. Only after a successful comparison does the engine emit
-`checkpoint.restored` with `{ game = game, kind = "overworld" }`. Validation
-failure, failed apply, and successful rollback emit nothing.
-
-Durable recovery remains a caller responsibility: in-memory rollback handles a
-runtime exception, not process termination.
-
-## Runtime boundary and future kinds
-
-This RFC's original Level A contract intentionally rejects battles, menus,
-transitions, animations, and suspended/queued scripts. RFC 0005 subsequently
-adds a separately inventoried `battle` kind with deterministic RNG and
-differential reconstruction tests; it does not broaden script or arbitrary-frame
-support implied here.
-
-## Migration note for existing mods
-
-**Nothing required.** No existing hook, save, controller, or world action changes
-when `mod.checkpoints` is unused. The reconstruction path is called only by a
-successful public restore after validation. Mods whose runtime caches derive from
-rewound `game.save` or `mod.save` state may optionally subscribe to
-`checkpoint.restored` and rebuild from their own public state.
-
-## Parity tests
-
- **No-mod:** the complete ROM-free engine suite and existing world behavior stay
-  green; ordinary New Game/save/load allocates no checkpoint identity.
- **Public Mod API:** a real API-2 entry chunk proves stable inspection and every
-  unsafe refusal, detached data-only capture, exact map/tile/facing/surf sync,
-  `A -> mutate B -> restore A -> recapture A2` equality across representative
-  progress, settings preservation, compatibility rejection without mutation,
-  map-side-effect suppression, injected reconstruction rollback, mod-owned
-  metadata and `mod.save` rewind, independent `mod.storage`/options preservation,
-  and success-only runtime-cache reconciliation through `checkpoint.restored`.

-# RFC 0005 — Persistent battle safe-point checkpoints
-
-## Status
-
-Proposed. Extends RFC 0004. Engine: `BattleCheckpoint.lua`, `Checkpoint.lua`,
-`Game.lua`, `BattleState.lua`, and `OverworldController.lua`. Tests:
-`battle_checkpoint_*.lua`, `checkpoints.lua`, and the existing no-mod suites.
-
-## Motivation
-
-RFC 0004 lets a tool capture and reconstruct settled overworld progress without
-private engine access. A battle is a different runtime: its queue can hold Lua
-functions and UI factories, its controller contains renderer objects and live
-references, completion is currently an `onFinish` closure, and scripted battles
-resume a suspended `ScriptRunner` coroutine. Copying the controller would create
-a record that is neither data-only nor process-independent.
-
-The engine can instead expose a narrow semantic safe point. This gives all mods
-the strongest persistent battle checkpoint the current architecture can prove,
-without claiming mid-animation or suspended-script support.
-
-## API delta
-
-No new facade is added. The existing additive `mod.checkpoints` API gains a
-second format-1 runtime kind.
-
-### Capability
-
-`mod.checkpoints:inspect(game)` returns this only when an ordinary single-player
-wild or trainer battle is settled at the player command menu:
-
-```lua
-{ canCapture = true, canRestore = true, kind = "battle" }
-```
-
-The action/message queue, waits, UI, animations, HP/status presentation, and
-faint processing must be settled. The player must actually control the menu.
-The underlying overworld must have no running/queued script or scripted move,
-and the battle must carry an engine-owned semantic continuation descriptor.
-
-Additional refusal codes are `battle_phase_busy`, `battle_origin_unsupported`,
-`battle_variant_unsupported`, and `link_battle_unsupported`. Link, Safari,
-ghost, old-man/demo, fishing, static-object, script-suspended, and mod-created
-closure continuations remain rejected.
-
-### Capture
-
-A battle checkpoint remains detached and data-only:
-
-```lua
-{
-  format = 1,
-  kind = "battle",
-  identity = { engineVersion = "...", gameVersion = "red",
-               playthroughId = "..." },
-  save = { -- canonical dynamic progress, excluding global options },
-  runtime = {
-    overworld = { map = "ROUTE_1", x = 7, y = 8,
-                  facing = "left", surfing = false },
-    battle = { -- normalized semantic model and continuation },
-  },
-  rng = { love = "..." },
-}
-```
-
-The model carries player/enemy roster indices, dynamic enemy Pokémon, turn and
-escape state, HP/PP/status/stages/volatiles, participants, level-up tracking,
-trainer AI state, battle ruleset identity, side/field extension data, and
-normalized pointer relationships such as multi-turn move slots and Mimic
-restoration entries. Definitions, sprites, canvases, queues, callbacks, and
-controller objects are reconstructed or excluded.
-
-Callback-bearing battle extension tokens fail with `battle_extension_unsafe`;
-invalid live reference relationships fail with `battle_state_invalid`. Nothing
-is silently stripped.
-
-New overworld checkpoints also carry the LÖVE gameplay RNG state. Legacy
-format-1 overworld checkpoints without `rng` remain loadable and leave the
-current stream untouched.
-
-### Restore
-
-Battle restore validates the detached save, map, content references, ruleset,
-roster indices, move references, continuation identity, and RNG before live
-mutation. The engine then:
-
-1. reconstructs the saved overworld return point without entry side effects;
-2. creates a fresh `BattleState` from current content registries;
-3. applies the normalized battle model and rebuilds object-reference relations;
-4. binds an engine-owned wild/trainer completion continuation;
-5. installs the battle directly at the settled menu without replaying its intro;
-6. restores the RNG after reconstruction has finished; and
-7. recaptures and compares the complete checkpoint; and
-8. emits `checkpoint.restored` with `{ game = game, kind = "battle" }` after the
-   comparison succeeds.
-
-The pre-operation checkpoint is the transaction rollback. A failed post-install
-RNG restore is covered: both battle runtime and RNG are reconstructed back to
-their original values. Validation failure, failed reconstruction, and successful
-rollback emit no checkpoint lifecycle event.
-
-## Continuation decision
-
-Ordinary random wild battles resume through `OverworldState:afterBattle`.
-Ordinary trainer battles use a descriptor containing map id, stable NPC id,
-trainer class/party, and optional header event; a win reapplies the same defeated
-flag, event, reward, and `afterBattle` path. Reconstructed overworld input and
-NPC freeze state are normalized instead of reviving the old closure.
-
-`Commands.start_battle` is deliberately unsupported: its completion closure
-mutates script context and resumes a coroutine whose program counter and Lua
-stack cannot be serialized. Existing script rejection remains the correct safe
-contract until a separate semantic ScriptRunner checkpoint RFC exists.
-
-## Migration note
-
-**Existing mods require no changes.** The facade and format number are unchanged;
-the new kind, RNG field, and success-only lifecycle event are additive.
-Overworld-only callers may continue to filter `capability.kind`. Mods with derived
-runtime caches may rebuild them from restored public state when the event fires.
-No-mod behavior is unchanged when checkpoints are unused.
-
-## Verification
-
- settled/unsafe boundary and every variant refusal;
- data-only wild and trainer capture, including callback-bearing extension
-  rejection;
- process-independent controller and continuation reconstruction;
- exact differential recapture for wild and trainer states;
- HP, PP, status/stages/volatiles, AI layer, participants, enemy roster,
-  multi-turn move references, and Mimic restore pointers;
- exact damage, critical, accuracy, random AI, escape, next encounter, and next
-  raw RNG result after reload;
- corrupt content/continuation rejection before mutation;
- injected post-install failure with full runtime and RNG rollback;
- mod-added Pokémon metadata and `mod.save` rewind while independent
-  `mod.storage` and options remain current;
- exactly one post-verification `checkpoint.restored` event and none on failure;

-# RFC 0006 — Generic process-lifecycle hooks for platform launcher integrations
-
-## Status
-
-Proposed. Engine: `PlatformHooks.lua` (new), `main.lua`, `Manifest.lua`,
-`Loader.lua`. Tests: `tests/modkit/cases/platform_lifecycle_hooks.lua`,
-`tests/mod_loader_tests.lua`, `tests/mod_manifest_tests.lua`.
-
-## Motivation
-
-A platform-specific launcher wrapper -- a native shell that embeds this
-engine and owns its own UI around the game window (a mobile app shell,
-say, presenting its own settings/import/save screens and only handing
-control to the LÖVE window once play starts) needs three things no
-current hook covers:
-
-1. Pause the simulation while its own UI is on top of the game window.
-2. Live-reload options it wrote from outside any Lua UI.
-3. Veto `main.lua`'s "closing the window returns to the Lua launcher"
-   behavior when the platform shell owns that job itself -- without this,
-   a shell that re-fronts its own launcher UI on quit gets looped straight
-   back into `HostShell.restart()`'s in-process reboot instead.
-
-Implementing this by hand-patching `main.lua`'s `love.update`/`love.quit`
-directly ties every such integration to editing the one file every other
-engine change also touches, guaranteeing merge conflicts for any second
-platform integration (or any unrelated engine PR landing around the same
-time). No existing hook covers "should the per-frame simulation step run"
-or "should closing the window return to the Lua launcher."
-
-## The decision it extends
-
-No prior D-number. Extends the hook-contract section of `docs/modding.md`
-alongside `input.step`, `render.hud`, `screen.render_visible`, etc.
-
-## The exact API delta
-
-Backward-compatible, additive-only.
-
-### `core.update`
-
-New hook, `(game, dt) -> nil` through the public wrapper signature
-`(next, game, dt)`, called once per frame from `love.update` via
-`src/core/PlatformHooks.lua`'s `PlatformHooks.update(game, dt)`. Vanilla
-behavior (used when no mod claims the hook) is `game:update(dt)`,
-unconditionally -- identical to `love.update`'s behavior before this hook
-existed. A subscriber may skip calling `next(game, dt)` to pause the
-simulation for that frame, or do additional per-frame work before/after
-calling it regardless of whether it calls `next`.
-
-### `core.quit_to_launcher`
-
-New hook, `() -> boolean` through the public wrapper signature `(next)`,
-called once from `love.quit()` via
-`PlatformHooks.quitToLauncher(vanilla)`. `vanilla` is the pre-existing
-non-platform-specific decision (`Game and not Importer and not
-quitToLauncher and not scripted and not launchedIntoGame`). A subscriber
-may return `false` outright to veto returning to the Lua launcher (without
-ever calling `next`, so the vanilla condition is never evaluated), or call
-`next()` and return its result to pass the vanilla decision through
-unchanged.
-
-Neither hook is guarded by `Runtime.wantsHook` -- both fire unconditionally
-every call, matching the existing `input.step` precedent
-(`src/core/Game.lua`), since `Hooks:call` already fast-paths to a bare
-`vanilla(...)` call when no mod has wrapped the name.
-
-### `Manifest.force_enable_env`
-
-New optional manifest field, a bare env-var name. `Loader:load` re-enables
-a mod carrying this field whenever that variable is set to `"1"`,
-regardless of a saved disable in `options.mods`. This exists for exactly
-the mod class this RFC is for: a platform-bridge mod that ships only with
-one build and cannot function disabled there, but must still behave like
-every other mod (a manifest opt-in, not an engine special case) on every
-build that doesn't set its variable.
-
-## Migration note for existing mods
-
-**Nothing.** With no subscriber, `love.update` still calls `Game:update(dt)`
-unconditionally every frame and `love.quit()`'s restart-to-launcher
-decision is exactly the pre-existing condition -- bit-identical to today's
-behavior on every platform where no mod wraps either hook. A manifest with
-no `force_enable_env` field behaves exactly as before.
-
-## Parity tests
-
- **No-mod:** `core.update`'s vanilla runs exactly once per call with the
-  hook chain empty; `core.quit_to_launcher`'s vanilla return value passes
-  through unchanged. Both hooks are picked up automatically by the
-  catalog-driven no-mod gate (`tests/engine/gate_hooks.lua`, which scans
-  for `Runtime.call("...")` call sites), so neither needs a dedicated
-  no-mod test file.
- **Mod-API:** `tests/modkit/cases/platform_lifecycle_hooks.lua` proves,
-  through a fixture mod loaded via the public loader (not the engine's
-  internals), that a subscriber can skip the vanilla update call (pause),
-  run extra per-frame polling regardless of pause state, and veto the
-  quit-to-launcher decision without the vanilla condition ever running.
- `tests/mod_loader_tests.lua` and `tests/mod_manifest_tests.lua` cover
-  `force_enable_env`: a matching env var re-enables a mod saved as
-  disabled, and an unset one leaves the saved disable alone.
-
-## Deprecation etiquette
-
-Nothing deprecated. These are two additive hooks and one additive manifest
-field; `main.lua`'s only footprint is one `require` and two call sites
-into `src/core/PlatformHooks.lua`.

-# RFC 0007 — Per-category GAME SPEED and the `core.logic_speed` hook

-has no way to get both; the one GAME SPEED row is a single ladder that
-applies everywhere at once.
-
-This needs to be an engine change, not a mod: there is no per-frame seam a
-mod can use to swap the multiplier mid-step, and no public event granular
-enough to say "which category is active" (`screen.pushed`/`screen.popped`
-and `battle.started`/`battle.ended` are the closest and are not enough --
-see Decisions below). The engine's own speed resolution has to become
-category-aware.
-
-A category-aware speed resolution is also the general seam a
-platform-launcher integration or automation tool needs to read or override
-the effective multiplier for a given frame without caring which category
-produced it -- this RFC's `core.logic_speed` hook is written for that case
-alongside the player-facing Options rows.
-
-## The decision it extends
-
-No prior D-number. Extends `GameSpeed.lua`'s multiplier ladder (unchanged)
-with per-category resolution.
-
-## The exact API delta
-
-Backward-compatible except for one save-data field rename, which ships with
-an automatic migration (see below) -- nothing in the public mod API (hooks,
-events, registries, `mod.*`) is renamed or removed.
-
-### `save.options`: `speed` -> `speedOverworld` / `speedBattle` / `speedMenu`
-
-`GameSpeed.CATEGORIES = { "overworld", "battle", "menu" }` is the new list
-of categories, and `GameSpeed.optionKey(category)` maps a category to its
-`save.options` field name (`"overworld"` -> `"speedOverworld"`, etc.).
-`GameSpeed.LEVELS`, `.DEFAULT`, `.levelLabel`, `.clamp` and `.cycle` are
-unchanged -- the ladder and its behavior are exactly what they were, just
-applied three times instead of once.
-
-`SaveData.defaultOptions()` drops `speed = 1` and adds `speedOverworld = 1`,
-`speedBattle = 1`, `speedMenu = 1`. `SaveData.mergeOptions()` migrates: a
-loaded options table that still has `speed` and none of the three new
-fields seeds all three from it, so an existing player's fast-forward
-preference carries over instead of two of the three categories silently
-resetting to 1X. `speed` is dropped on the way out (not carried forward),
-so a re-save never re-triggers the migration.
-
-### `Game.speedCategoryInStack(stack)`
-
-New static helper, `(stack) -> "battle" | "overworld" | "menu"`. Walks the
-whole state stack top-down -- the same idiom `Game.wideBattleInStack` and
-`Game.fillScaleInStack` already use -- looking for `state.isBattle` (new
-marker, `BattleState.isBattle = true`, covering every battle: wild,
-trainer, link, safari, the old-man demo) or `state.isOverworld` (existing
-marker, `OverworldController`'s `OverworldState.isOverworld = true`). The
-first match wins; a state with neither marker (a menu, a text box, a
-naming screen, a cutscene) is transparent to the walk and falls through to
-whatever is under it. Nothing in the stack matching either falls back to
-`"menu"`.
-
-### `Game:logicSpeed()` / `Game:_resolveLogicSpeed()`
-
-`Game:_resolveLogicSpeed()` is new: it resolves `Game.speedCategoryInStack`
-against the live stack, maps the category to its `save.options` key via
-`GameSpeed.optionKey`, and returns `GameSpeed.clamp` of that option (or
-`GameSpeed.DEFAULT`). This is the exact category-resolution logic the new
-hook wraps.
-
-`Game:logicSpeed()` keeps its existing early returns -- link play forces
-`1`, a run-argument speed override wins over the saved option -- unchanged,
-and in the same order, before ever calling the hook. Only once neither
-applies does it call the `core.logic_speed` hook.
-
-### `Game:_cycleSpeed(dir)`
-
-The keyboard hotkey and the gamepad shoulders/triggers that used to cycle
-the single `speed` option now cycle whichever category
-`Game.speedCategoryInStack` says is active: pressing the hotkey during a
-battle speeds up just the battle, on the overworld just the walk, in a menu
-just the menu. This is the natural per-category answer for a control that
-used to have one option to reach and now has three -- see Decisions below
-for why this reading was chosen over, say, always cycling `overworld`.
-
-### `core.logic_speed`
-
-New hook, `(game) -> number` through the public wrapper signature
-`(next, game)`, called once per `Game:logicSpeed()` (i.e. once per frame).
-Vanilla behavior (used when no mod claims the hook) is
-`Game:_resolveLogicSpeed()` -- exactly the category resolution above,
-nothing else. A subscriber may call `next(game)` and return its result to
-pass the vanilla multiplier through, or return a different number outright
-to override it for that frame (e.g. a bot mod forcing `1` during one route
-segment regardless of what category or option is active).
-
-This intentionally sits *after* the link and speed-override checks in
-`Game:logicSpeed()`, not around them: link play staying locked to 1X "no
-matter what either player set this to" is exactly the invariant that would
-break if a mod's hook could override it, and the run-argument override
-exists so a bot/screenshot run's speed does not depend on a mod any more
-than on the player's saved option. Both stay unconditional early returns a
-mod never sees.
-
-Not guarded by `Runtime.wantsHook`: `Hooks:call` already fast-paths to a
-bare `vanilla(...)` call when no mod has wrapped the name, and this hook
-fires every frame regardless.
-
-## Decisions on the issue's open questions
-
-**1. Overlays on top of another category's state (a party menu, a choice
-box, a naming screen opened mid-battle or mid-overworld).** Resolved by
-making the category a property of stack *position*, not of the overlay's
-own type: an overlay with no `isBattle`/`isOverworld` marker is transparent
-to `Game.speedCategoryInStack`'s walk and inherits whatever is under it. A
-party swap opened mid-battle reads as `"battle"`; a bag opened while
-walking reads as `"overworld"`. This was chosen over giving every UI state
-its own fixed category (which would make a fast-forwarded battle visibly
-stutter back to 1X every time its party menu opens) because it matches
-what the player is actually doing moment to moment, and it reuses a
-pattern the codebase already leans on for exactly this "menus opened over
-X should behave like X" class of problem (`Game.fillScaleInStack`,
-`Game.wideBattleInStack`).
-
-**2. Cutscenes/scripts.** No fourth category. A scripted sequence runs
-through the owning state's own machinery -- the overworld's script runner
-or a battle's message queue -- rather than pushing a state of its own, so
-it is already covered by decision 1: it inherits whatever category the
-state driving it resolves to. A cutscene state that genuinely has nothing
-under it (a pre-game intro) falls to `"menu"`, the default for anything
-that is not battle or overworld gameplay -- consistent with those being
-pre-game presentation, not something a player is likely to want scaled
-differently from menu navigation.
-
-**3. Category granularity (splitting "menu" further).** Deferred. Start
-with the three named here; `GameSpeed.CATEGORIES` and `GameSpeed.optionKey`
-are written so adding a fourth later (a Pokédex/Bag category, say) is one
-entry plus one new `save.options` field, not a resolution-logic rewrite.
-No current request motivates it.
-
-**4. The GAME SPEED hotkey/shoulder buttons, once "the" speed is three
-things.** `Game:_cycleSpeed` now cycles whichever category is currently
-active (`Game.speedCategoryInStack`), rather than, say, always cycling
-`overworld` or requiring a modifier key to pick a category. A single
-physical control that means "speed up whatever I'm looking at right now"
-is the reading that needs no new UI and matches what a player pressing it
-mid-battle almost certainly wants.
-
-## Migration note for existing mods
-
-**Nothing**, for the mod API surface: `content.X:register/override/get`,
-`events:on`, `hooks:wrap`, `mod.log`, `mod:read`, manifest v1 fields are
-untouched, and `GameSpeed.LEVELS`/`.DEFAULT`/`.levelLabel`/`.clamp`/`.cycle`
-keep their exact signatures and behavior.
-
-**One save-data field**, for anything that read `save.options.speed`
-directly (not a formal registry/hook surface, but worth naming): it is
-superseded by `speedOverworld`/`speedBattle`/`speedMenu`, migrated
-automatically on load (see above) so a save from before this RFC keeps its
-player's chosen speed. A mod reading `save.options.speed` after this change
-sees `nil` (the key is dropped on migration, not kept as a stale alias) and
-should read the per-category fields, or hook `core.logic_speed` to observe
-the resolved multiplier directly regardless of which category produced it.
-
-## Parity tests
-
- **No-mod:** `core.logic_speed` needs no dedicated no-mod test file --
-  `tests/engine/gate_hooks.lua` walks the live hook catalog (which scans
-  `src` for `Runtime.call("...")` call sites), so the new
-  `Runtime.call("core.logic_speed", ...)` site is picked up and gated
-  automatically: vanilla runs exactly once with an empty hook chain, an
-  unsubscribed-but-live bus passes values and multiple returns through
-  unchanged, and `Runtime.wantsHook` reads `false`.
- **Mod-API:** `tests/engine/game_speed_categories_test.lua` exercises the
-  hook through the public API (`Hooks.new()` + `bus:wrap("core.logic_speed",
-  ...)` + `Runtime.call`, the same idiom other hooks' tests use) -- a
-  subscriber can read the vanilla category resolution via `next(game)` and
-  can override it outright -- plus direct coverage of
-  `Game.speedCategoryInStack` (battle-on-top, overworld-on-top, an overlay
-  inheriting each, an empty/unmatched stack falling to `"menu"`) and
-  `Game:logicSpeed()`'s precedence (link forces 1X over all three
-  categories and over a hook override; the run-argument override wins over
-  the category resolution).
- `tests/run_tests.lua`'s OptionsMenu walk exercises the three new rows
-  (OVERWORLD SPEED / BATTLE SPEED / MENU SPEED) cycling and wrapping
-  independently, in place of the old single GAME SPEED row.
- `tests/mod_ui_tests.lua`'s row-id/order check and hardcoded row-index
-  activations (MODS, CONTROLS) are updated for the two extra rows.
- A link-play driver should set all three per-category speeds high before
-  asserting `game:logicSpeed()` reads `1` during a real link session,
-  proving the lock wins over every category at once, not just whichever
-  one happens to be active.
-
-## Deprecation etiquette
-
-Nothing deprecated in the mod-facing hook/event/registry catalog -- this
-adds one hook, additive. The `save.options.speed` field is superseded with
-an automatic migration rather than a deprecation notice, since it was never
-a registered mod-API surface (no schema entry, no registry) -- the same
-treatment any other `save.options` field would get if it needed reshaping.

+# Touch skins and the Skin Studio
+
+A **skin** replaces the on-screen controls wholesale: a bezel image, a
+control layout, and the rectangle the Game Boy screen is drawn into. Engine:
+`src/core/TouchSkin.lua` (model, parsers, zip export), `src/core/TouchControls.lua`
+(draw and input), `src/render/Renderer.lua` (the screen viewport),
+`src/ui/SkinStudio.lua` (the desktop editor). Tests:
+`tests/engine/touch_skin_test.lua`, `tests/engine/skin_studio_test.lua`,
+`tests/engine/skin_studio_image_import.lua`,
+`tests/engine/launcher_skins_tab.lua`.
+
+Skins are picked in the launcher's **Skins** tab, which also imports them and
+opens the studio. `options.touchControls.skin` holds the folder name.
+
+## Formats
+
+Two load. `skin.lua` wins when a folder has both.
+
+**RetroArch overlay `.cfg`.** The libretro `common-overlays` collection loads
+as-is. Supported keys:
+
+| Key | Meaning |
+| --- | --- |
+| `overlays` | page count |
+| `overlayN_name` | page name, the target of `next_target` |
+| `overlayN_overlay` | bezel image |
+| `overlayN_full_screen` | stretch the page to the window |
+| `overlayN_rect` | page placement, default `0,0,1,1` |
+| `overlayN_aspect_ratio` | fallback aspect when not full screen |
+| `overlayN_range_mod`, `overlayN_alpha_mod` | desc defaults |
+| `overlayN_viewport` | `x,y,w,h`, the screen cutout |
+| `overlayN_viewport_fill` | parsed; the engine always fits, see below |
+| `overlayN_descM` | `binds,x,y,shape,range_x,range_y` |
+| `overlayN_descM_overlay` | control art |
+| `overlayN_descM_next_target` | page to switch to |
+| `overlayN_descM_range_mod`, `_alpha_mod` | per-control overrides |
+| `overlayN_descM_reach_x/_y/_up/_down/_left/_right` | hitbox reach |
+
+`x,y` is the centre and `range_x,range_y` are half extents, both normalized.
+Hitboxes are `radial` or `rect`. Pipe-separated binds (`left|down`) are one
+control that holds both. A `nul` desc is decoration: it draws and never
+captures a touch.
+
+Alpha follows RetroArch (`input_driver.c`, `input_overlay_post_poll`): every
+image sits at the overlay opacity, and a pressed control's image swaps to
+`opacity * alpha_mod`. So `alpha_mod` above 1 lights a control up and below 1
+fades it out, and both directions read as a press animation.
+
+**Native `skin.lua`.** This module's own model written back out: one Lua
+table, no flat key space, and a separate `imagePressed` per control that a
+`.cfg` cannot express. Loaded with an empty environment, so a skin authored by
+a stranger cannot reach `love` or `io`. Sizes here are full width and height
+rather than RetroArch's half extents, because that is what an editor's numeric
+fields mean.
+
+```lua
+return {
+  name = "my_skin",
+  pages = {
+    {
+      name = "main",
+      image = "img/bezel.png",
+      fullScreen = true,
+      viewport = { x = 0.0, y = 0.0, w = 1.0, h = 0.5, fill = false },
+      controls = {
+        { bind = "a", x = 0.87, y = 0.72, w = 0.18, h = 0.10,
+          shape = "radial", image = "img/a.png", imagePressed = "img/a_down.png" },
+      },
+    },
+  },
+}
+```
+
+## Bindable actions
+
+The eight Game Boy buttons: `a`, `b`, `start`, `select`, `up`, `down`,
+`left`, `right`.
+
+Engine hotkeys, handled in `Game:touchSkinHotkey`:
+
+| Bind | Effect |
+| --- | --- |
+| `overlay_next`, `overlay_previous` | switch page, honouring `next_target` |
+| `hold_fast_forward`, `fast_forward` | fast forward while held |
+| `toggle_fast_forward` | step the speed option |
+| `reset` | soft reset to the title |
+| `menu_toggle` | open OPTIONS |
+
+`screenshot`, `pause_toggle` and `exit_emulator` are recognised but have no
+handler yet: a control bound to them draws and does nothing. Anything else,
+`rewind` included, is not in the bind table at all, so the control falls back
+to decoration and never captures a touch.
+
+As an extension to the format, `key:<name>` presses any keyboard key, which is
+how a skin button reaches a mod hotkey.
+
+## The screen viewport
+
+`overlayN_viewport` is the cutout the picture is fitted into. The Game Boy
+screen keeps its whole-pixel scale and letterboxes inside that rect rather than
+stretching to it, so a bezel gets an exact 160x144 picture; `viewport_fill` is
+parsed but does not stretch. `overlayN_viewport_expand = true` is an extension
+that lets a widescreen bezel take the filling survey-zoom world view instead.
+
+A viewport also implies the faithful-ratio lock. Without it the world pass
+expands to fill the cutout and you get more map instead of a Game Boy screen.
+
+Border art often ships with a transparent hole and no `viewport` key. **Detect
+screen from bezel** in the studio measures the hole out of the art's alpha
+channel and writes the rect.
+
+## Bezels versus pads
+
+A skin whose active page binds nothing is a frame rather than a pad: a TV
+surround, a handheld shell, a Super Game Boy border. Those draw on **desktop**
+as well, where the touch overlay itself does not, and a gamepad does not hide
+them. Anything that binds a button still follows the usual mobile /
+`POKEPORT_TOUCH` rule.
+
+## Installing
+
+Drop a folder or a `.zip` into `skins/` in the save directory, or drop a zip on
+the launcher window while the Skins tab is open. A zip is mounted in place, so
+there is nothing to unpack. The folder needs one `skin.lua` or `.cfg`
+(`overlay.cfg` is preferred when there are several) and the images it names.
+
+Two ship bundled, both from libretro's `common-overlays` under CC-BY-4.0:
+
+| Skin | Source | Shape |
+| --- | --- | --- |
+| `gb_anim` | `gamepads/gb_anim_portrait` | handheld shell, working buttons, two pages |
+| `tv_crt` | `borders/tv-integer` | CRT television frame, no buttons |
+
+Attribution lives in each folder's `README.md`. `tv_crt` is a photograph of a
+real television: CC-BY-4.0 upstream, but treat it as a test asset rather than
+shipping branding.
+
+## The studio
+
+Launcher, Skins tab, **Open Skin Studio**, or the gear on any skin row to open
+that skin. Desktop only: the launcher does not offer it on Android or iOS,
+because it wants a mouse, typed coordinates and room for an inspector.
+
+**Canvas.** A mock device at a chosen preset, so a phone skin is authored at
+phone proportions on a desktop monitor.
+
+| Preset | Size |
+| --- | --- |
+| Phone portrait / landscape | 1080x1920, 1920x1080 |
+| Tablet portrait / landscape | 1536x2048, 2048x1536 |
+| Steam Deck | 1280x800 |
+| Desktop 1080p | 1920x1080 |
+| Ultrawide 21:9 | 2560x1080 |
+| Super Game Boy border | 256x224 |
+
+The Super Game Boy preset locks the viewport to the real screen window,
+160x144 at (48,40), so an SGB border cannot be drawn out of register.
+
+**Editing.** Click a control to select it, drag to move, eight handles to
+resize. X / Y / W / H are in canvas pixels, so a control can be typed to the
+coordinate its art was drawn at. Bind, hitbox shape, hit reach and idle and
+pressed images are per control; the bezel, the pages and the screen cutout are
+per page. The cutout is itself a draggable element with a 10:9 lock.
+
+**Art.** The **Bezel**, **Idle art** and **Pressed art** rows cycle through the
+images already in the skin folder; the **Import** button beside each one opens
+the host file picker (`src/core/FilePicker.lua`: osascript, PowerShell,
+zenity/kdialog) and copies the chosen PNG or JPG into `img/` under the name in
+the SKIN field, then assigns it to that slot. Dropping a PNG or JPG on the
+window does the same for whichever slot was last touched. A new bezel does not
+move the screen cutout: press **Detect screen from bezel** to measure it out of
+the art's alpha.
+
+**Testing.** **Test** makes the canvas live: clicking presses real Game Boy
+buttons and the footer reports what is held. **Play** saves the skin, selects
+it, and boots the game with it.
+
+**Saving.** **Save** writes `skins/<name>/skin.lua` and copies every image the
+skin names, so the folder stands alone. **Export** packs it as one zip
+(`src/core/SkinZip.lua`, store-only) carrying the native `skin.lua`, the
+images, and the original `.cfg` when it came from one. An exported skin drops
+straight back into `skins/` and still opens in RetroArch.

-
-`tools/tiled_export.py` turns the imported ROM cache into a
-[Tiled](https://www.mapeditor.org) workspace, so maps can be edited in a
-real map editor and exported back out as a mod. The original had no map
-editor at all; the port's own map data is plain Lua, which is what makes
-this a data path rather than an asset path.
-
-Editing is done in our own Tiled build,
-[bryanthaboi/tiled_gen1recomp](https://github.com/bryanthaboi/tiled_gen1recomp/releases),
-which ships the `gen1-mod-export` extension the workspace relies on. Grab it
-from that repo's releases; upstream Tiled opens the workspace but cannot
-export a mod out of it.
-
-```sh
-python3 tools/tiled_export.py          # -> build/tiled/ (gitignored)
-```
-
-Then open `build/tiled/gen1.tiled-project` in that build of Tiled.
-
- **The overworld is one surface.** All 222 maps become `maps/*.tmj`, and
-  `kanto.world` places the 36 connected overworld maps at their real
-  connection offsets. That world is pre-loaded (seeded into the workspace's
-  Tiled session), so opening any one overworld map draws its neighbors around
-  it and you scroll and edit straight across the seams. Everything else is a
-  double-click away in Tiled's project panel.
- **Extending Kanto wires both ends.** A connection lives on both maps, so
-  hooking a new map onto a base map also emits the return connection as a
-  patch on that base map, keeping its other directions intact. The return
-  offset is derived, not guessed: all 78 vanilla reciprocal pairs satisfy
-  `back.offset == -offset`.
- **A Tiled tile is a gen1 block.** Each of the 24 tilesets becomes a Tiled
-  tileset whose tiles are its 32x32 blocks, composited from the 8x8 sheet,
-  so a tile layer *is* the map's `blocks` array. Warps, signs and objects
-  sit on the 16px cell grid in object layers, which is the grid the engine
-  addresses them on.
- **Collision is visible.** View > Show Tile Collision Shapes draws the real
-  walkability: a rectangle covers each cell whose feet tile is not in the
-  tileset's `walkable` list, which is the rule `src/world/Map.lua` applies.
- **Maps are shown in their real colors.** Each map is atlased in the SGB
-  palette it renders with, so Cerulean is blue and Lavender is purple in the
-  editor exactly as in game. Vanilla resolves that through a cascade with
-  interiors inheriting the last outdoor map, so the workspace mirrors the
-  cascade and walks the warp graph to colour interiors. Changing a map's
-  `palette` exports `palette = "..."` on the record, which beats the cascade,
-  and the editor offers the real palette names as a dropdown.
- **New blocks and new tilesets.** `blocksets/*.tmj` show a tileset's blocks
-  as raw 8x8 tiles, four by four, so new blocks can be composed there;
-  per-tile flags on `tilesets/tiles_*.tsj` become `walkable`, `waterTiles`,
-  `doorTiles` and the rest.
- **Export is a diff, not a fork of the data.** The `gen1-mod-export`
-  extension (shipped in `tiled_gen1recomp`) writes either one map file or a whole
-  loadable mod folder. An edited vanilla map diffs against the imported data
-  and emits `mod.content.maps:patch` carrying *only* the fields that moved, so
-  a mod covers the parts it changes and leaves the rest to the base game; a
-  new map gets `:register` at an index of 1000 or above. An unchanged map
-  exports nothing at all. Exports pass `tools/modkit.py validate` and `lint`.
- **Or the whole record, on request.** Ticking `exactExport` on a map switches
-  it to `mod.content.maps:override`, pinning the map to exactly what the
-  editor shows. It is off by default because an override wins outright over
-  any other mod patching that map, where a patch composes.
-
-No ROM-derived art travels into an exported mod: a tileset still drawing on
-the player's own imported sheet references that path rather than shipping the

+/**
+ * A TLS client socket that Lua can drive without ever blocking a frame.
+ *
+ * WHY THIS EXISTS. LuaSocket, which is what LOVE ships, speaks TCP and nothing
+ * else, so wss:// was simply unreachable from the game -- and every room hosted
+ * on archipelago.gg is TLS-only, accepting a plain connection just long enough
+ * to drop it. The alternative was vendoring mbedTLS into the NDK build and
+ * carrying a CA bundle in the APK; the platform already has both a TLS stack
+ * and the system trust store, so this asks Android instead.
+ *
+ * THE CONTRACT. Callers get an int handle and poll it. open() returns
+ * immediately and the connect and handshake happen on their own thread, so a
+ * slow or unreachable host costs nothing on the game thread -- which matters
+ * more here than it did for httpDownload, since that runs on a worker and this
+ * is serviced from the frame loop. Bytes handed to send() before the handshake
+ * finishes are queued, not refused, so a caller can write its request the
+ * moment it has a handle and never think about readiness again.
+ *
+ * Reads are drained by a thread into a chunk queue and handed over a copy at a
+ * time; a caller that stops polling stops the connection rather than growing
+ * the heap without limit.

-# iOS build (LÖVE 12.0)
+# iOS build

-> **Native ROM/mod/save import.** The iOS build ships a Swift
-> document-picker bridge (`native/GRPickerBridge.swift` + `GRBootstrap.m`)
-> that `patch_love_src.py` wires into the LÖVE tree on every build:
->
-> - `love.system.pickFile("rom"|"mod"|"sav")` and `love.system.createFile`
->   are exposed to Lua on iOS (same contract as love-android's SAF picker:
->   picks land in the save dir as `picked_rom.gb` / `picked_mod.zip` /
->   `picked_save.sav`; exports signal via `export_done.flag`).
-> - The Info.plist overlay enables `UIFileSharingEnabled` +
->   `LSSupportsOpeningDocumentsInPlace`, and `GRBootstrap.m` sweeps
->   `.gb/.gbc/.zip/.sav` files dropped in Documents (Files app / Finder)
->   into the LÖVE save dir on every activation — drop a ROM, open the app,
->   and it imports with no taps.
-> - `src/import/RomImporter.lua` treats iOS as a mobile platform and polls
->   for picker results (iOS pickers are in-process modals, so Android's
->   refocus rescan never fires).
->
-> The note below about a missing "UIDocumentPicker handoff" is
-> resolved by this bridge.
+This directory contains the macOS/Xcode build used to package Gen1 Recomp as
+an iOS app with LÖVE 12.0.

-macOS + Xcode only. Fetches the **LÖVE 12.0** source tree and matching Apple
-dependencies from the official [LÖVE source](https://github.com/love2d/love)
-and [Apple dependencies](https://github.com/love2d/love-apple-dependencies)
-repositories. `conf.lua` declares LÖVE 12.0 on iOS and 11.5 elsewhere.
+## User data location

-Pin file: [`LOVE_VERSION`](./LOVE_VERSION) → `12.0`.
+The app uses the public iOS Documents directory as its LÖVE save directory.
+There is no `pokemon-love2d` subdirectory and the app does not create a
+README file there. When browsing `On My iPhone > gen1recomp++` in Files, the
+directory contains the app's runtime data directly, including:

-## Quick start (simulator)
+- installed mods and downloaded ROMs
+- save files and save-state data
+- options, caches, logs, and other files created by the game
+
+The build enables `UIFileSharingEnabled` and
+`LSSupportsOpeningDocumentsInPlace`, so the same directory is available in
+Files and Finder. Files copied into the app's Documents directory are used by
+the game on its next activation.
+
+Existing installations are migrated automatically. Files from the old
+private `Application Support/pokemon-love2d` directory are merged into
+Documents on launch; conflicts are retained with a `.legacy` suffix.
+
+## Build
+
+Run these commands from the repository root:

 ```bash
-# Fetch LÖVE 12.0 iOS sources and dependencies (once) + build for Simulator
 scripts/build_ios.sh --fetch
+scripts/build_ios.sh
 ```

-The embedded `game.love` contains no ROM or generated game data. The current
-first-boot importer has desktop file pickers only, so a production iOS release
-still needs a UIDocumentPicker handoff that passes the selected ROM to LÖVE.
+`--fetch` downloads the pinned LÖVE source and matching Apple dependencies
+into the gitignored `love-src/` directory. It is only needed when that tree is
+missing. The default build targets the iOS Simulator in Debug configuration.

-Default output: an unsigned Simulator `.app` under `mobile/ios/build/`
-(no Apple Developer account required). A convenience copy also lands under
-`dist/ios/<Config>-<sdk>/`.
-
-Install on a booted simulator (example):
+For a physical device or a release build:

 ```bash
-xcrun simctl install booted mobile/ios/build/Build/Products/Debug-iphonesimulator/PokemonRed.app
-xcrun simctl launch booted com.theboisclub.pokemonred
+scripts/build_ios.sh --device --install
+scripts/build_ios.sh --device --release --install
 ```

-Or open `mobile/ios/love-src/platform/xcode/love.xcodeproj` in Xcode,
-select the `love-ios` target, and Run on a Simulator after
-`scripts/build_ios.sh --package-only` (or a full build) has placed `game.love`.
+Device builds require a paired, unlocked device and a valid Apple signing
+identity. Set `DEVELOPMENT_TEAM` or `CODE_SIGN_IDENTITY` when automatic
+signing cannot select the intended account. Add `--ipa` to create
+`dist/ios/gen1recomp++.ipa`.

-## Device / Release
+The script verifies the final app before packaging it:

-```bash
-scripts/build_ios.sh --device            # Debug, physical device SDK
-scripts/build_ios.sh --device --release  # Release configuration
+- the public Documents plist settings are present
+- the native picker bridge is present
+- `game.love` exists and is non-empty
+
+If the payload is missing, the build fails instead of producing a blank app.
+
+## Useful options
+
+| Option | Purpose |
+| --- | --- |
+| `--fetch` | Fetch LÖVE 12.0 and Apple dependencies when `love-src/` is missing |
+| `--device` | Build for `iphoneos` instead of the Simulator |
+| `--release` | Use the Release configuration |
+| `--install` | Install a device build on the first connected device |
+| `--ipa` | Create an IPA after a device build |
+| `--version X.Y.Z` | Stamp the engine and app version |
+| `--package-only` | Package `game.love` and apply the iOS plist overlay without Xcode |
+
+`scripts/build.sh ios` delegates to this script and forwards the iOS release
+option.
+
+## Output
+
+Simulator and device app bundles are copied to:
+
+```text
+dist/ios/Debug-iphonesimulator/gen1recomp++.app
+dist/ios/Release-iphonesimulator/gen1recomp++.app
+dist/ios/Debug-iphoneos/gen1recomp++.app
+dist/ios/Release-iphoneos/gen1recomp++.app
 ```

-Device builds need a signing identity and provisioning profile configured in
-Xcode (or via `DEVELOPMENT_TEAM` / `CODE_SIGN_IDENTITY` env vars). This repo
-does **not** store certificates, profiles, or App Store Connect secrets.
+The intermediate Xcode products are under `mobile/ios/build/`. Both locations
+are gitignored.

-Manual out-of-band steps:
-
-1. Apple Developer account + App ID for `com.theboisclub.pokemonred`
-2. Development or Distribution certificate + provisioning profile
-3. In Xcode: open `love.xcodeproj` → target `love-ios` → Signing & Capabilities
-   → select your Team (or set `DEVELOPMENT_TEAM=XXXXXXXXXX` when invoking
-   `scripts/build_ios.sh --device`)
-4. Archive / export an `.ipa` from Xcode Organizer for TestFlight / Ad Hoc
-
-## Layout
-
-| Path | Role |
-|------|------|
-| `LOVE_VERSION` | Engine pin (`12.0`) |
-| `overlays/love-ios.plist` | Portrait-only Info.plist + display name **Pokemon Red** (copied over the upstream plist every build) |
-| `love-src/` | Downloaded LÖVE 12.0 source tree (**gitignored**, do not commit) |
-| `cache/` | Temporary source and dependency checkout data (**gitignored**) |
-| `build/` | `xcodebuild` derived data (**gitignored**) |
-
-Game payload lands at:
-
-`love-src/platform/xcode/ios/resources/game.love`
-
-and is fused into the built `.app` (LÖVE auto-runs any bundled `*.love`).
-
-## Apple libraries dependency
-
-`scripts/build_ios.sh --fetch` retrieves the matching iOS libraries and the
-SDL3 framework from
-[love-apple-dependencies](https://github.com/love2d/love-apple-dependencies).
-Re-run it if either dependency directory is absent.
+The bundled game payload is staged at
+`love-src/platform/xcode/ios/resources/game.love` and copied into the final
+app bundle. The payload contains the game, not user-generated ROMs, mods, or
+saves; those are created at runtime in Documents.

 ## App identity

-| Field | Value |
-|-------|--------|
-| Display name | Pokemon Red |
-| `PRODUCT_NAME` | PokemonRed |
-| Bundle ID | `com.theboisclub.pokemonred` |
-| Orientations | Portrait only (`UIInterfaceOrientationPortrait`) |
+| Field | Default |
+| --- | --- |
+| Display name | `gen1recomp++` |
+| Product name | `gen1recomp++` |
+| Bundle identifier | `com.theboisclub.gen1recompplusplus` |
+| Save directory | Public `Documents` root |
+| Orientation | Portrait |

-Overrides are applied by the build script (`xcodebuild` settings + plist overlay)
-so refreshing `love-src/` does not lose branding.
+Set `GEN1_BUNDLE_ID` to use a different bundle identifier for local device
+builds.

-## Flags (`scripts/build_ios.sh`)
+## Prerequisites

-| Flag | Meaning |
-|------|---------|
-| *(default)* | Simulator, Debug, no signing |
-| `--fetch` | Fetch the LÖVE 12.0 source tree and Apple dependencies if `love-src/` is missing |
-| `--device` | Build against `iphoneos` instead of `iphonesimulator` |
-| `--release` | `Release` configuration instead of `Debug` |
-| `--package-only` | Zip `game.love` + apply plist overlay; skip `xcodebuild` |
+- macOS with Xcode and `xcodebuild`
+- the iOS and iOS Simulator platforms installed in Xcode
+- a fetched `love-src/` tree, or the `--fetch` option
+- the matching iOS libraries and SDL3 framework under `love-src/`

-Also: `scripts/build.sh ios` delegates here (`--release` is forwarded).
-
-## Preconditions
-
- macOS (Darwin) with Xcode + `xcodebuild` on `PATH`
- iOS platform installed in Xcode (Settings → Platforms). `xcodebuild -showsdks`
-  should list `iphonesimulator` / `iphoneos`. A partial install can fail IB/xib
-  compiles with `iOS … Platform Not Installed` even when the SDK name appears.
- `love-src/` present (`--fetch`)
- iOS libraries under `love-src/platform/xcode/ios/libraries/` and SDL3 under `love-src/platform/xcode/shared/Frameworks/`
+Use `xcodebuild -showsdks` to confirm that the required SDKs are installed.
