TDD plan (BlendMath -> RenderObject resolution -> host colorkey/alpha/tint blit
-> surfaceless fade fill -> docs). Records the reversed colorkey format and the
0x202/0x203 color workers in engine-re.md (Ghidra annotated+saved).

Design artifacts for the merged frame-stepped VM work (throttle the Godot VM
to a per-frame op budget). Probes measured the native ~1788 ops/sec cadence
and uncapped D3D9 Present that motivated the wall-clock-op-rate approach.

The frame-paced-sleep slice did NOT make the opening burst animate (only the
one-shot dramatic pauses). Correct the canonical result (phase-a-slice-plan),
the RE doc (engine-re), the opcode source+generated ref (opcodes.toml 0xc8),
and add correction banners to the point-in-time spec/plan. Also folds in the
diagnostics + headless halt-at-wait results into phase-a-slice-plan.

Reversed create/set/draw-texture handlers + gfx_render_frame: surfaces at ctx+0x52bd4[slot]
(set-texture loads a file with a colorkey); objects in the ctx+0x408 registry reference a
surface by slot (live) + rect + position (V24) + visible bit; render iterates the registry
in ASCENDING HANDLE ORDER (= z-order) and composites visible objects. Answers both unknowns
(z-order = handle; slot 0 not special). Design spec + Phase 1 plan rebuilt on this model,
replacing the flawed flat-layer version. Ghidra annotated (gfx_op_0x1f8/9/b, gfx_object_bind_draw,
gfx_render_frame, gfx_object_composite, gfx_op_0x20c_present_frame).

Reverse-engineering + open reimplementation workspace for Eushully's AGE/SYS4
engine (first target: Himegari). The repo root is age-reimpl/; the original game
install and the extracted ALF data are siblings outside the repo and are never
tracked. build/ (derived corpora) is gitignored and regenerated by the tools.
