Orkuncakilkaya 38b6b81cd7 feat(app): App.set_icon, so a game without a bundle still has an icon

`ludic bundle` builds an AppIcon.icns and macOS reads it out of the .app, so a
shipped game has an icon. `ludic build` produces a bare executable: no bundle, no
CFBundleIconFile, and so no icon at all - macOS draws the generic green "exec"
tile. That is the build a developer runs every day, which is why "the game has no
icon" can be true for months while the bundle is perfect. It was here: the .app's
icns validated against iconutil, the plist was right, the signature was right,
and NSWorkspace rendered the artwork - and the binary beside it still had the
exec tile.

App.set_icon(path) takes the bytes through lp_pak_open, so a packed path and a
loose one both work and this does not repeat Audio.load's trick of taking a
filesystem path only. NSData copies them, so the buffer goes straight back. A
missing or undecodable image leaves the existing icon alone rather than clearing
it; a bundled app is unaffected; headless links no AppKit and compiles it away.

Verified the Cocoa sequence against an ObjC twin doing the same message sends:
before, a bare binary's applicationIconImage is the generic 128x128 tile; after,
it is the 1024x1024 artwork.

Backend change, so selfhost/ludicc.seed.ll is reseeded: the bootstrap fixpoint
and the C-free rebuild from the seed both pass.

Changesets

A changeset is one small Markdown file describing a single user-facing change, dropped in this directory. ludic-dev release consumes every changeset here into a new CHANGELOG.md section, bumps VERSION, and deletes the consumed files.

Format

bump: minor
type: feat
One or more lines describing the change, in the past-agnostic imperative used in
the changelog. Markdown is fine.

bump: — major, minor, or patch (SemVer). The release version is bumped by the highest level among the pending changesets (unless ludic-dev release <level> overrides it).
type: — the Conventional Commit type (feat, fix, perf, docs, …). It decides which group the change lands in: feat → Features, fix → Fixes, perf → Performance, and so on, in that order. A type with no known heading gets one named after itself.

Writing the body

The body is markdown and reaches the changelog as markdown: it becomes one list item, with continuation lines indented to stay inside it. Nested bullets, blank lines between paragraphs and inline code all survive.

bump: minor
type: feat
**Tiled map support** — load and draw Tiled maps.

- **TMX/TSX** — the XML formats, decoded to the same intermediate as JSON.
- **Collision** — the `collision` layer projects onto the engine tilemap.

Lead with the thing that changed, not with the mechanism. A reader scanning the release should be able to stop after your first clause.

Adding one

Create a file with a short, unique name, e.g. changes/regex-namespace.md. Any filename works except this README.md, which the release step always skips.
