The retained-mode "2nd CG renders off-screen" bug: GfxState conflated two
distinct native structures. It assigned a fabricated AcquireSlot() slot on
every GetOrCreate (called by all geometry/draw ops) and returned it from
QuerySlot (op 0x215). But Ghidra (gfx_op_0x215_register_query @0x42a0b0 /
gfx_op_0x1a2_registry_insert @0x42d360) shows 0x215 does map.find(handle) over
a registry populated ONLY by op 0x1a2 -- it never allocates a slot.
So a CG handle (never 0x1a2-registered) read back as "existing", took the
existing branch of label_12649, ran get-texture-size on the wrong slot (0),
got size 0, and computed dst = pos(0,0) - (w/2,h) = (-400,-600) -> off-screen.
The real engine returns -1 -> the fresh branch -> anchor from the INIT2 arrays
-> dst=(0,0).
Fix: GfxState keeps a separate _registry (HashSet) populated only by
Register() (op 0x1a2); QuerySlot returns the handle if registered else -1, and
no longer consults the geometry store or invents slots. Drop AcquireSlot /
GfxObject.Slot / the free-list.
Verified: Age.Cli gfx --boot SC0000.BIN -> all event CGs dst=(0,0), zero
(-400,-600) draws; Godot --boot pages 1/2/4 render opening CGs full-screen;
engine 44/44; sweep parity 284 exit / 13 STEP-LIMIT unchanged.

0x1a2/0x215 rebuilt; Ghidra helpers gfx_registry_map_find/hash_insert
annotated + saved. Tests rewritten to the native contract.

GfxState: SurfaceStore (slot->{resId,colorkey} from create/set-texture) + object
SourceSlot/SrcRect/Visible (from draw-texture bind); SnapshotVisibleObjects returns
visible objects in ascending-handle order (=z-order) with their live surface resolved.
VM set/create/draw-texture wired to it. Oracle dumps visible objects. Erase removes the
object from the registry (faithful). Engine 44 green.

RE correction: op 0x1f7's worker gfx_registry_erase_range (@0x47d8b0) loops
gfx_registry_erase over [handle, handle+count) — a teardown, not a create.
Objects are created lazily by the geometry SET ops (gfx_object_get_or_create).
GfxState.EraseRange + VM case + tests; opcodes.toml renamed gfx-elem-create ->
gfx-elem-erase; Ghidra handler + workers annotated. Booted SC0000 CG geometry
unchanged for the working CGs (no regression). Engine 40 green.
