The package-manager half of prebuilt binary packages, on top of the compiler
foundation (dynamic system registration + --emit-module).
- x build-lib [module.ludic]: compile a package's module to a per-target native
dylib under lib/<target>/, with an @rpath install name so a consumer resolves
it from the content-addressed store.
- x link-flags: print the clang flags (the dylib, an rpath to its store dir,
-export_dynamic) so any build system links a project's prebuilt module dylibs;
x app splices them automatically for in-repo builds.
- kind prebuilt is resolved + linked like any dependency; a missing build target
stays a hard error.
Proven hermetically (macOS-gated, since dylibs are native): a module exporting a
component + an @System(Update) + a function is built with x build-lib, fetched
as a prebuilt dep, and linked into a consumer game that never saw its source —
the module's system mutates the shared world and its function is callable
("3 42"). Package suite 17/0; full suite 87/0.

Adds the Audio.* namespace and its platform backend, the audio subsystem #22 was
blocked on.
- runtime/native/audio.ll: the macOS backend, AVAudioPlayer driven through the
objc runtime C ABI (no ObjC/C source), same style as cocoa.ll — snd_load /
play / stop / playing / set_volume / set_rate. Spliced and linked with
AVFoundation only when a windowed build actually uses Audio.* (needed_framework,
since AVAudioPlayer is reached by name).
- runtime/native/audio.ludic: the Audio.* runtime — a handle table, master
volume/pitch, a single music channel. load/play/play_sound/play_music/stop/
stop_music/stop_all/volume/pitch/is_playing. Every native call is
is_windowed()-guarded, so a headless build carries the API as no-ops (load
returns 0, is_playing false) and needs no audio device.
- compiler: Audio.* namespace dispatch, g_uses_audio splice, snd_* intrinsics +
declarations, and the conditional AVFoundation link in both the canonical
(main.ludic) and dev-runner (x app) paths.
- docs: a full docs/language/audio section (10 method pages); check-impl green.
- test: examples/library/audio.ludic self-asserts the headless no-op path.
Playback is out-of-band and never feeds the deterministic sim, but triggers are
frame-driven so replays fire the same sounds. Reseeded; suites green (80 + 29).

Wire the macOS platform side of the #50 device layer, feeding the same state
buffers the read APIs consume — no API changes, purely OS glue.
- mouse: cocoa.ll reads the live cursor via mouseLocationOutsideOfEventStream,
converted to framebuffer pixels and y-flipped, so windowed games get
Input.mouse_x/y without injection (W_mx/W_my were never written before).
- gamepad: win_pad polls GCController.controllers each frame, packing extended-
gamepad buttons (SDL_GameControllerButton order) and thumbsticks (16.16 fixed,
Y negated for SDL convention) into in_pad_*. Windowed builds now load
GameController via -needed_framework (its classes are reached by name, so a
plain -framework link dead-strips it); DCE'd in headless builds.
- touch: the view's NSTouch phase handlers snapshot the touching set into
in_touch_* (normalizedPosition -> framebuffer pixels).
Web platform.js gains zero-fill stubs for win_held/mouse/pad/touch so a windowed
wasm build resolves the device-layer imports. New test asserts the windowed link
loads GameController. Reseeded; full + selfhost suites green (79 + 29).

Repository-cleanup / DX pass folding three tracker items into one coherent
change, verified green end to end (`bin/x test` 49/0, `bin/x selfhost-test`
29/0, `bin/x test-tools` 29/0).
#28 — curate & categorise examples/
- 42 flat entries regrouped into intent-revealing subdirs: games/, rendering/,
ecs/, events/, networking/, lang/, library/ (was lib/).
- chronorift dir-vs-file duplication resolved: the entry file and its import
modules now live together under games/chronorift(.ludic).
- Every path reference updated repo-wide (test runner, editor-tool drivers,
docs/site, design docs).
- New examples/README.md indexes the whole set with run commands.
- Showcase examples without a self-asserting entry (hello, events, net_rt) now
get a compile-only rot guard in `bin/x test`, so nothing here rots silently.
#30 — text-diffable golden baseline
- The 4 binary selfhost/golden/*.ppm blobs are replaced by a single
selfhost/golden/renders.sha256 manifest (SHA-256 per render). Hashes are
byte-identical to the old PPMs, so the baseline is unchanged — only its form.
- game_case now compares framebuffer hashes; a regression shows as a changed
hex line in review, not "binary files differ".
- New `bin/x golden` regenerates the manifest deliberately (review with
`git diff selfhost/golden/renders.sha256`).
#27 — PPM & asset handling
- Headless renders now write build/out.ppm, never the repo root; `x app`,
`x clean`, messaging and .gitignore updated to match. Nothing is written to
the working root any more.
- Redundant local Kenney .zip archives removed (the art ships extracted;
.gitignore already excludes *.zip). CC0 License.txt files retained.

Repository hygiene pass (issue #39):
- Add `.editorconfig` mirroring ludic-fmt: 2-space indent, LF, UTF-8, trim
trailing whitespace and final newline by default; 4-space for Python
tooling; keep trailing whitespace in Markdown (hard line breaks).
- Reconcile `.gitignore`: root-anchor `/build/` and `/out.ppm`, normalise the
misleading `**.zip` glob to `*.zip`, and document that the Kenney art is
tracked *extracted* while the download/plugin zips are local-only. `.idea`
-> `.idea/`.
- Add a `bin/x clean` command that removes `build/`, the root `out.ppm`, and
stray `bin/*.tmp`, keeping the toolchain binaries so the running `x`
survives.
No generated artifacts land outside build/ or bin/, both of which are ignored.
Closes#39

Expand the abbreviated pointer types to full words on the language surface:
ptr -> pointer (a raw address / FFI handle)
ptrs -> pointers (a buffer of pointers)
The Ludic type name is distinct from LLVM's own `ptr` spelling: llty() maps
`pointer`/`pointers` to LLVM `ptr`, and the emitted IR keeps `ptr`, so only
the Ludic-level surface changes. Rewrites type annotations across all
sources, the 8 hardcoded pointer type-tags, the `pointers`-buffer indexing
in emit_addr, the grammars/LSP/JetBrains tokens, and the docs
(type-ptr -> type-pointer, type-ptrs -> type-pointers). int/bool keep their
conventional short spelling (like Math).
Reseeded; C-free fixpoint holds; all suites green (45/24/29); site + check.py OK.

Expand the function-declaration keyword to the full word across the whole
language and toolchain:
fn name(...) -> T { ... } -> function name(...) -> T { ... }
Done as a self-hosting migration: teach the parser both spellings, reseed,
rewrite every .ludic definition to `function`, then drop `fn`. The compiler
now rejects `fn`. Touches the parser, all selfhost/tools/runtime/example/test
sources, the grammars (TextMate shared+vscode, ludic_syntax.h, JetBrains
LudicTokens.kt), the LSP and formatter, the Python doc/vocab tools
(check-impl, check-docs, validate, palette, test-lsp), and the docs
(fences, prose, kw-fn -> kw-function).
Reseeded; C-free bootstrap fixpoint holds. All suites green (45 regression,
24 self-host, 29 tool); the docs site generates and check.py passes.

Implement the bulk of the namespaced-stdlib proposal (workshopsoft/ludic#2):
156 namespace methods across Math, Text, List, Ease, Collide, World, Net,
Sys, Save, Mem, extended Screen, Color functions, extended Random, and Time.
All deterministic fixed-point; self-hosting (C-free bootstrap fixpoint holds).
Compiler (selfhost/):
- Math.*: sqrt/sin/cos/tan/atan2/asin/acos (fixed-point runtime prelude —
bit-by-bit isqrt, 256-entry interpolated sine table, Ross atan2), plus
hypot/dist/dist2/deg_to_rad/rad_to_deg/posmod/wrap/ping_pong/snapped/
move_toward/smoothstep/lerp/remap/sign/floor/ceil/round.
- Text.* (complete): upper/lower/trim/repeat/pad, split/join/replace,
and the libc-backed queries.
- List.* (complete): insert/remove_at/remove/sort plus the earlier ops.
- Ease.* (in/out/in_out/back/bounce) and Collide.* (rects/point_rect/
circles/rect_circle).
- Phase 3: World/Net/Sys/Save namespaced over the bare builtins (byte-
identical IR) and Mem.* (bytes/words/copy/fill/peek/poke).
- Screen.* extended (line/circle/fill_circle/triangle/fill_triangle via new
runtime primitives; sprite/sprite_scaled aliases), Color.* functions,
Random.* (value/int/sign), Time.* (frame/delta/elapsed/now — new
game-loop frame counter).
- Fix a lexer bug: fixed-point literals with >4 fractional digits overflowed.
Docs & tooling:
- 129 new per-symbol doc pages; gen.py made data-driven (namespaces
discovered from the docs, no hardcoded list); new check-impl.py enforces
that every implemented namespace method / keyword / type / phase has a
doc page, wired into `x test-tools`. Document the previously-undocumented
keywords (break/continue/where/entry/new/public + and/or/not tokens).
- LSP: namespaced signature help (ns_method_sig) covering every namespace.
Tests: 12 new self-host/regression tests + a golden render for the drawing
primitives. All suites green (selfhost 21, regression 45, tools 29).
