-Releases ship raw AppImages (no zip wrapper) plus an optional Flatpak bundle:
-
- `gen1recomp-*-linux-x86_64.AppImage`
- `gen1recomp-*-linux-arm64.AppImage` (Raspberry Pi 4/5, Armbian, arm64 VMs)

-Flatpak users should prefer the `.flatpak` bundle (see
-[linux-flatpak.md](linux-flatpak.md)); it avoids host glibc / FUSE / curl
-mismatches on immutable desktops.
-
-## Common failure modes
-
-| Symptom | Cause | Fix |
-|---|---|---|
-| Won't start / `libfuse.so.2` | No FUSE | `sudo apt install libfuse2` (or `libfuse2t64`) **or** `./app.AppImage --appimage-extract-and-run` |

 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.

-## Power and Performance Tuning
-
-The handheld build applies several optimizations to reduce power draw and ensure smooth 60 FPS frame pacing on low-power ARM SoCs:
-
- **KMSDRM / EGL Vsync Fix**: Handheld builds disable driver vsync (`vsync = 0`) to prevent GPU driver busy-wait spinloops in `eglSwapBuffers`, allowing `nanosleep()` and dropping idle CPU usage from ~25% to ~4%.
- **Idle Render Governor**: Drops presentation rate when a static screen (menus, text dialogs, stationary scenes) receives no input, cutting compositing work ~6x while preserving full 60 Hz game and audio clocks. Any button press restores full framerate immediately.
- **Sample Rate Scaling**: Audio synthesis is tuned to 22.05 kHz by default (`POKEPORT_AUDIO_RATE=22050`), halving synthesis CPU overhead on Cortex-A53 cores with no audible quality loss on handheld speakers.
- **Dynamic CPU Governor**: Defaults to `schedutil` instead of pinning `performance` on all cores, reducing thermals and extending battery life.
-
-Environment variables for fine-tuning (configured in `gen1recomp-sbc.sh`):
-
-| Variable | Default | Description |
-| --- | --- | --- |
-| `POKEPORT_IDLE_AFTER` | `10` | Seconds without input before an idle screen drops presentation rate |
-| `POKEPORT_IDLE_FPS` | `6` | Framerate while idle |
-| `POKEPORT_AUDIO_RATE` | `22050` | Chip-synth sample rate (set to `44100` for full rate) |

-# RFC 0019: `pokemon.level_visible` — a level a mode can take off the screen
-
-## Status
-
-Proposed.
-
-## Motivation
-
-A Pokémon's level is printed on four Gen 1 surfaces — both battle
-healthboxes, the party rows, and page 1 and page 2 of the status screen —
-and every one of them prints it unconditionally. There is no seam. A mode
-that wants the number gone has exactly two options today, and both are bad.
-
-It can paint over the text from `render.hud`, which means knowing four pixel
-rectangles, matching the background shade, and surviving the palette flashes
-and the healthbox slide-in. Or it can monkey-patch the drawing modules from
-inside its sandbox, which works — `require` hands a mod the engine's own
-table — and is precisely what `CONTRIBUTING-mods.md` tells mods not to do.
-A mod that took the second road already deleted its patching layer once, for
-the reasons that document gives.
-
-The motivating case is a battle royale where every party is scaled to a
-shared rung that rises with the fog. The number on the healthbox is
-therefore never news — it is the same for everyone, it changes on a clock,
-and a player reading `:L37` on an opponent learns nothing except that they
-are playing the same match. Worse, it reads as a threat it is not: a Lv37
-opponent looks dangerous to a player who has not worked out that their own
-team is Lv37 too. The mode wants the level off the HUD and out of the party
-list, and the announcement it replaces it with is one line about everyone
-getting stronger at once.
-
-Nothing about that is specific to a battle royale. A randomizer that hides
-levels to keep an encounter unreadable, a challenge run that forbids
-level-checking, a hard mode that withholds an opponent's level, and a
-"blind" Nuzlocke all want the same switch, and none of them should have to
-learn where the `<LV>` glyph lives.
-
-## The decision it extends
-
-This extends the **additive, guarded seam convention** Route B in
-`CONTRIBUTING-mods.md` documents, and is gated by the parity guarantee
-`tests/engine/gate_meta_coverage.lua` enforces.
-
-It sits with the presentation predicates already on the battle screen —
-`battle.status_hud_visible`, `battle.bottom_ui_visible` and
-`battle.caught_marker_visible` — and takes the same shape: a hook consulted
-behind `Runtime.wantsHook`, defaulting to visible, where only an explicit
-`false` suppresses. The difference is that a level is not a battle-only
-readout, so this one is not named `battle.*` and carries the surface that
-asked.
-
-There is no in-repo D-number registry to amend.
-
-## Exact API delta
-
-### New hook: `pokemon.level_visible`
-
-```lua
-mod.hooks:wrap("pokemon.level_visible", function(next, mon, ctx)
-  -- ctx = { where = "battle.enemy" | "battle.player" | "party" | "summary",
-  --         game = <Game> }
-  if myMode.active and ctx.where ~= "party" then
-    return false      -- the level is not printed on that surface
-  end
-  return next(mon, ctx)   -- true: printed, as today
-end)
-```
-
-Default `true`. Only an explicit `false` suppresses; `nil` and every other
-value print, so a wrapper that forgets a branch cannot blank a screen by
-accident.
-
-`ctx.where` names the surface rather than the widget, because the number
-means different things on different screens: on a battle HUD an opponent's
-level is information about *them*, on the party and status screens your own
-level is information about *you*. A mode that wants to hide the first and
-keep the second can, and the motivating mode does exactly that.
-
-### New module: `src/ui/LevelDisplay.lua`
-
-One function, `LevelDisplay.visible(mon, where, game)`, wrapping the
-`wantsHook`/`call` pair. It exists so the four call sites are a one-line
-guard each instead of four copies of the same five lines, and so the hook
-has one definition of "visible" rather than four that can drift.
-
-### Call sites
-
-| Surface | File | `where` |
-| --- | --- | --- |
-| Enemy healthbox | `src/battle/BattleState.lua` | `battle.enemy` |
-| Player healthbox | `src/battle/BattleState.lua` | `battle.player` |
-| Party rows | `src/ui/PartyMenu.lua` | `party` |
-| Status page 1 and 2 | `src/ui/SummaryMenu.lua` | `summary` |
-
-No layout moves. Each site keeps its own hand-rolled PrintLevel rule
-(`home/pokemon.asm:335-345` — the `<LV>` tile, then the digits, with a level
-of 100 writing its third digit back over the tile); it just asks first.
-
-Two details are deliberate:
-
- **A status condition still replaces the level on a healthbox**, exactly as
-  it does in the cart, so hiding the level never hides `PSN` or `BRN`. The
-  guard is an `elseif` on the existing status branch, not a wrapper around
-  it.
- **On status page 2 the `<to>` arrow is hidden with the level it points
-  at.** The arrow introduces the next level; on its own it is half a
-  sentence. The EXP-to-next-level figure beside it is a different field and
-  still prints.
-
-### No other surface changes
-
-No event, no registry, no save field, no manifest key.
-
-## Migration
-
-None. The hook is additive and defaults to current behaviour.
-
-## Verification
-
- `tests/modkit/cases/pokemon_level_visible.lua` — the contract through the
-  public mod API: default true with no mod, `false` suppresses, the surface
-  and the mon reach the hook, falling through prints, and a `nil` mon
-  answers rather than throwing.
- `tests/engine/gate_hooks.lua` — the structural parity gate picks the hook
-  up automatically, because it walks the live catalog rather than a list.
- `tests/engine/gate_meta_coverage.lua` — the coverage ratchet; the seam is
-  covered by name from the change that introduces it, so it never enters the
-  DEBT ledger.
-
-## Backward compatibility
-
-A build with no mod wrapping the hook never reaches `Runtime.call`:
-`wantsHook` is checked first, which matters because two of the four sites
-are on a per-frame draw path. Pixels are unchanged, and the parity gates
-assert it.
-
-## Scope, and what is deliberately not in this change
-
-**Gen 1 only.** The Gen 2 screens keep their own level readouts
-(`src/ui/gen2/PartyMenu.lua`, `SummaryMenu.lua`, `BoxMenu.lua`,
-`HallOfFame.lua`) and do not consult the hook. So does the Gen 1 PC box list
-(`src/ui/BoxMenu.lua`), where the level is baked into a row label string
-rather than drawn as a field, and the box-to-PNG print path beside it.
-
-Those are mechanical follow-ups, held back so this change stays reviewable
-against screens that can actually be exercised here. The limitation is
-stated in `docs/modding.md` beside the hook, so a mod author reads it before
-depending on it rather than after.
-
-## Compatibility seam for older engines
-
-There is none, and none is possible without patching: the call sites are
-mid-draw, so a mod on a stock engine cannot reach them. That is the argument
-for the seam rather than a gap around it — the alternatives available to a
-mod today are painting over the engine's own pixels or reaching into its
-render modules, and the second is the thing the mod contract exists to
-prevent.
