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).

sig: cancel
tip: Inside a listener, veto the cancellable event being emitted.
order: 2
---
`cancel` is used inside an `@On` listener to <b>veto</b> the `cancellable` event currently being emitted. Calling it sets the payload's cancelled flag, and once the `emit` finishes running its listeners that flag comes back to the caller — `emit E(…)` used as an expression yields `1` when any listener cancelled and `0` otherwise. Guard it behind whatever condition should block the action; listeners that do not `cancel` simply observe. `cancel` is only meaningful in a listener for an event declared `cancellable`.
```ludic
program CancelExample {
event cancellable BeforeOpenDoor { key_count: int = 0 }
var keys: int = 0
var doors_opened: int = 0
@On(BeforeOpenDoor) handler RequireKey { if key_count <= 0 { cancel } }
handler TryOpen phase Update {
if Input.key() == 'o' {
if emit BeforeOpenDoor(key_count: keys) == 0 {
doors_opened = doors_opened + 1
keys = keys - 1
}
}
}
handler DrawWorld phase Render {
Screen.clear(Color.MidnightBlue)
Screen.draw_number(x: 4, y: 4, value: doors_opened, color: Color.Gold, scale: 1)
Screen.show()
}
}
```
