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.

selfhost/check/ walks every function, the entry, tests, globals' initializers and
@On listeners with real scopes, and refuses mixed number kinds, text and numbers,
two record types, mismatched slices and fn types, wrong argument counts, wrong
returns and wrong push elements - every mix-up at once, each at its line.
LUDIC_CHECK_REPORT=1 lists them by category. pointer stays untyped (L7's).
What it found is fixed: render3d's HDR scan calling the float-bits extern f_lt
with floats; ludic.shooter's right-stick aim overflowing past half a push;
prof.ludic storing longs in []int; extern arguments now coerced to their
parameters. Text-returning runtime functions say string; Assets.ready says bool.

Process.spawn/poll/kill/free - non-blocking child processes with no shell: posix_spawn on
macOS (process.ll), CreateProcessW with MSVC-quoted arguments and no console window on
Windows (process_win.ll), linked only when a program uses Process.*.
Http.save_to streams a response body into a file (NSURLSession with a run-time delegate
class on macOS, the WinHTTP read loop on Windows); Http.received / Http.expected report
progress while it is pending. Freeing a pending request cancels it and parks the slot
until the worker has finished.
App.window_hide / App.window_show take the game's window off the screen and back without
closing it; the run goes on while hidden. Docs, examples, tests and a changeset.

- runtime: HEADLESS_FRAME_PATH, STICK_DEADZONE / STICK_LEFT_X/Y, key and
byte codes as char literals throughout (`k == 'w'`, `fill(rt_map, ' ', …)`)
- ludic.gameplay/stats: drop the duplicate `stat_field` (it answered "atk"
for every build stat); Stats.base uses stats_field_name
- ludic.shooter: compare aim modes and fire patterns with AimMode.* and
WeaponPattern.* instead of raw ints; STICK_RIGHT_X/Y
- ludic.npcai: DecisionMade / brain_set_state use AiState.*
- examples/games/menu.ludic uses Font.load / Ui.* with FONT_PATH and
BACKDROP named; strings.ludic header says what it prints
- whole tree: `x = x + 1` → `x += 1` (single-term right-hand sides only),
`0 - x` → `-x`, ASCII codes → char literals; every .ludic and every
```ludic fence reformatted with the fixed formatter (whitespace only)

Adds the Http.* namespace and its transport, the HTTP client from #6. The JSON
companion the proposal called for already shipped as Json.* (#44).
- runtime/native/http.ll: the macOS transport — NSURLConnection driven through
the objc runtime C ABI (no ObjC/C source), run on a detached pthread so the
frame never blocks; TLS is the system's, on by default. A fixed slot pool holds
each in-flight request; the worker publishes status/body/response behind an
atomic done flag (release/acquire). Spliced + Foundation linked only when a
program uses Http.*.
- runtime/native/http.ludic: the Http.* runtime — get/post/request, the
open/set/body/send builder, poll/status/ok/text/body_len/header/free, plus a
pure-Ludic response parser (Http.parse + case-insensitive header lookup) that
is transport-independent and portable.
- compiler: Http.* dispatch, g_uses_http splice, hs_* transport intrinsics +
declarations, the conditional Foundation link, and a new \r string/char escape
the protocol needs.
- docs: a full docs/language/http section (16 pages); check-impl/check-docs green.
- test: examples/library/http.ludic self-asserts the parser offline (Darwin-gated
build via the canonical path, since it links Foundation).
Verified end to end against real endpoints: HTTPS GET (200 + headers + body) and
POST (body + custom header). HTTP is out-of-band and never feeds the
deterministic sim. Reseeded; suites green (81 + 29).
