bryanthaboi ec9dc29646 Pokemon Silver as a full launcher version, plus launcher mods-list and title-tempo fixes

Silver: derived import manifest (tools/make_silver_manifest.py re-resolves
the Gold manifest's symbols from pokesilver.sym), silver GameVersion row,
generation-keyed extractor routing, required-files override, edition save
stamping (a Silver playthrough no longer writes into the Gold save),
checkver-driven edition data, SILVER/KAMON/OSCAR/MAX presets, GOLD rival
default, edition credits banner, Lugia title screen (OAM layouts, bob,
trail, palettes as title.lua data keys with Gold defaults so old caches
need no re-import), packaging for every build target, docs, and tests.

Launcher: the installed-mods list is one continuous scroll (rows culled to
the viewport) instead of a pager with an inner scroll viewport; the pad
cursor's edge-scroll no longer runs it to the bottom. The game dropdown
shows just the initial and caret. Find-tab behavior unchanged.

Title tempo: a sprite-anim frame shows duration+1 ticks
(engine/sprite_anims/core.asm GetSpriteAnimFrame), which locks both
editions' 64-tick wing beat to the 64-tick sine bob; the title screens no
longer run fast and out of phase.

What This Port Requires

The packaged desktop app requires one user-supplied input on first boot: a canonical 1 MiB US Pokemon Red, Blue, or Yellow ROM, or a canonical 2 MiB US Pokemon Gold or Silver ROM.

The importer verifies the SHA-1 for the game (see src/core/GameVersion.lua for specific hashes). Other revisions and Virtual Console releases are rejected rather than decoded with incorrect addresses.

After verification, the app generates its private cache in the LÖVE save directory. It does not keep a copy of the ROM. Later boots use the cache. Python and Pillow are not required by the packaged app.

Bundled Metadata

Assembly removes high-level names and some relationships that the Lua port needs. The version-specific files tools/rom_manifest.json, tools/rom_manifest_blue.json, tools/rom_manifest_yellow.json, tools/rom_manifest_gold.json, and tools/rom_manifest_silver.json therefore contain:

the ROM symbol addresses actually read by the extractor
symbolic IDs and ordering for maps, species, moves, items, and trainers
source-erased dimensions, image names, and map object integration names
hand-ported field/script integration tables
text labels and runtime substitution markers, but no dialogue payload
music, sound-effect, and cry header names and addresses

The manifest contains no ROM bytes, graphics, dialogue, audio samples, or complete symbol file. Dialogue, map blocks, encounters, stats, names, parties, palettes, artwork, and audio channel programs are read from the user's ROM.

Generated Output

First boot writes:

data/generated/: constants, maps, tilesets, text and pointer tables, Pokemon, moves, items, trainers, encounters, field data, palettes, and font mappings, detailed battle animation programs, plus compact audio metadata
assets/generated/: 495 PNGs covering maps, overworld sprites, fonts, Pokemon/trainer pictures, title and intro art, menus, field effects, and battle animation tiles
assets/generated/audio/programs.bin: three 16 KiB ROM banks containing the music, sound-effect, cry, and waveform programs used by live synthesis

Map behavior remains hand-ported under data/scripts/.

Developer Builder

The optional source-tree builder provides a repeatable audit path:

python3 tools/build_data.py --rom /path/to/pokemon-red.gb --clean

That path requires Python 3.10+ and Pillow. It is not part of a packaged game's first boot.

Not Required

a pret/pokered checkout
the symbols branch or a .sym file
Git
RGBDS
a separately compiled ROM
Python or Pillow when running the packaged app
