The typed buffers are slices: words/floats/fixeds/doubles/pointers(n) make
zeroed, bounds-checked []int/[]float/... and the type names mean them. buffer(n)
is a []byte, with text_of, Fs.read_bytes/write_bytes and view(xs, start, n).
bytes(), indexing a raw pointer or bytes, free, resize, Memory.*, raw file calls,
data_of and C externs are refused outside unsafe { } / unsafe function, and a
project's own files may write unsafe only with --unsafe; the runtime and packages
are the platform. A slice passed to an extern goes as its data.
What the change found: Sync's atomics on a slice header, words(n) uninitialised,
input's fixed axes in ints, truetype's fixed outlines as ints, skin matrices
typed int, gl_shader's source table made from raw bytes. render3d gets safe
entry points (safe_api.ludic). Rendering is byte-identical; a frame costs the same.

The three parsing primitives the TMX path needs that were not already in
the tree (zlib inflate + the JSON reader already shipped):
- Xml.* — a minimal, deterministic pure-Ludic XML reader for the
element/attribute/CDATA subset TMX/TSX/TX use, spliced on demand. Handles
nested elements, single/double-quoted attributes, text + <![CDATA[…]]>,
comments, the <?xml?> prolog and <!DOCTYPE>, the five predefined entities
and numeric character references.
- Base64.* — standard base64 (RFC 4648) decode + a matching pure-Ludic
encoder; the decoder ignores the whitespace Tiled wraps into <data>.
Splicing Base64.* also pulls in inflate.ludic so a plain tool can run the
full base64 -> zlib/gzip decode chain.
- z_gunzip — gzip framing (RFC 1952) over the existing DEFLATE inflater:
skip the 10-byte header + optional fields, inflate the body, ignore the
CRC32/ISIZE trailer.
Golden corpus vendored under assets/tiled-fixtures/ (mapeditor/tiled
examples, attributed, + hand-authored multi-encoding fixtures). New
example library/tiled_p0.ludic proves all three (21 assertions); docs
pages + inventory added so check-impl stays green.
