docs(api): per-symbol pages, fuzzy search, deep token linking, hover cards
Rebuild the API Reference around one page per symbol and richer, verified content.

Pages & navigation
- One HTML page per symbol (kw-*, type-*, phase-*, screen-*, fn-*, annot-*, op-*)
  instead of a single scrolling page; namespace overview pages (ns-screen …
  ns-color) and a searchable index (api.html) with client-side fuzzy search.
- Sticky-header scroll offset (scroll-margin) so a jumped-to entry/param/color is
  never hidden, plus a flash highlight on the scrolled-to target.

Deep linking in every snippet & example
- Namespace members split: `Screen`→namespace page, `fill_rectangle`→method page;
  `Color`→palette page, `Charcoal`→its swatch — separately.
- Named arguments (`width:`) link to that parameter's anchor on the method page.
- Hover any token for a summary card built from the real API data (symbols.json).

Content & coverage
- Full authoritative surface documented from the compiler: every keyword, type,
  the 6 phases (Start/Input/FixedUpdate/Update/LateUpdate/Render, each its own
  page), all 22 annotations, namespace methods with parameter docs, builtins,
  the world_* reflection ABI, networking, operators — 155 symbols.
- Longer, clearer explanations; "model"/"model instance" terminology, not "entity";
  descriptive identifiers in every example (Position{column,row}, Velocity{delta_x,
  delta_y}, Health{current,maximum}, Player/Enemy) — no Pos/Seg/x/dx.
- Accuracy fixes from compiler ground-truth: world_count() takes no arg,
  world_query_next(property, cursor) arg order, event fields bind by name; dropped
  `when` and `module` (not in the self-hosted parser).

Tooling
- inventory.json + check.py: coverage guard (every symbol has a page), duplicate-
  token guard, and broken-link guard — fail CI so docs can't drift.
- validate.py: compiles every ```ludic example against bin/ludicc (158 compile).

tip: Declare the properties a handler operates on, binding their fields by name in the body.

<code>@Queries</code> lets a handler declare the properties it operates on up front, and the compiler wraps the whole body in a query loop over the matching model instances. The body then runs once per match with each listed property bound by name — you write <code>Position.column</code> directly instead of opening a <code>for (…) in query […]</code> yourself — and <code>self()</code> gives the current instance. It takes the same shape as a manual query: <code>these: [ … ]</code> lists the required properties (each may carry a filter like <code>Health{current &lt;= 0}</code>), and an optional <code>on: Model</code> restricts the match to instances of one model. Reach for it when a handler's entire job is "for every matching instance, do this"; drop to an explicit <code>query</code> when you need finer control inside the loop.
```ludic
program AdvanceMovement {
property Position { column: int = 0, row: int = 0 }
property Velocity { delta_x: int = 0, delta_y: int = 0 }
model Player { Position, Velocity }
@Queries(these: [Position, Velocity], on: Player) # body runs once per matching Player
handler AdvancePositions phase FixedUpdate {
Position.column = Position.column + Velocity.delta_x
Position.row = Position.row + Velocity.delta_y
}
handler SpawnPlayer phase Start {
spawn Player { Position { column: 0, row: 0 }, Velocity { delta_x: 1, delta_y: 0 } }
}
}
```
