feat(stdlib): add Os.* — the OS/environment interface (#21)
An Os.* namespace, Go-flavored and game-scoped, for the environment *around*
the game: the command line, environment variables, standard streams, process
exit, the host platform, and the per-user known folders a game writes into.
Rounds the bare System.* builtins (arg/getenv/exit) into one coherent surface.

  - args / arg_count / arg     the argument vector (args() -> []string)
  - env / env_or / has_env     read env vars (null-safe via env_or)
  - set_env / unset_env        mutate this process's environment
  - exit(code)                 terminate with a status code
  - platform() / arch()        host facts (uname sysname/machine)
  - stdout_write / stderr_write  raw writes to the standard streams
  - save_dir / config_dir / cache_dir / temp_dir   per-user known folders

Pure libc over NUL-terminated strings; C-free, no new runtime. arg_count/arg/
exit stay light (no prelude) as thin aliases of the existing intrinsics; the
rest share one Os runtime prelude emitted on demand (g_uses_osrt). platform()
is portable (uname system name is field 0 on every Unix); arch() and the
known-folder layout follow the macOS/BSD conventions — the fully supported
native target today. Linux/Windows/wasm folder resolution and a target-aware
arch() are documented follow-ups.

- examples/library/os.ludic: asserts the invariants that hold regardless of
  host — env round-trip, env_or fallback, unset, args()==arg_count(), non-empty
  platform/arch and known dirs. Wired into `x test` (now 54 passed).
- docs: a new Os section + 17 per-symbol pages; inventory updated; every fence
  passes check-docs (--fmt) and the site builds via docgen.
- seed regenerated; `x bootstrap-cfree` fixpoint holds.

Closes #21

Ludic documentation generator

Generates the public documentation site (the pages branch) from a single source of truth, so the site can never drift from the language.

Source of truth

docs/
  language/<category>/<id>.md    one file per symbol — keyword, type, phase,
                                 builtin, namespace method, operator, annotation
  language/<category>/_section.md   section title + blurb + order
  language/colors/palette.json   the 221 named colors (generated by palette.py)
  site/site.json                 landing-page messaging (hero, features, …)
  site/snippets/*.ludic          the code shown on the landing page (real programs)
tools/docgen/inventory.json      the authoritative symbol set the coverage guard checks

A symbol file

---
id: screen-fill_rectangle     # anchor + page name (screen-fill_rectangle.html)
name: Screen.fill_rectangle
category: screen
kind: namespace-method        # keyword|type|phase|namespace-method|builtin|annotation|operator
tokens: Screen.fill_rectangle # literal token(s) the highlighter matches & links
sig: Screen.fill_rectangle(x, y, width, height, color)
tip: Draw a solid, filled rectangle.     # one sentence — the hover-card summary
order: 1
ns: Screen                    # namespace-method only
member: fill_rectangle        # namespace-method only
related: screen-clear screen-draw_rectangle
---

Rich description — inline `<code>`/`backticks`, "model instance" language.

Parameters:                   # for anything that takes arguments
- `x` — the left edge, in pixels
- `color` — the fill color, e.g. a `Color.*` name

​```ludic
program Example { … descriptive-named, compilable … }
​```

What it produces

One page per symbol (<id>.html), a namespace overview page per namespace (ns-screen.html … ns-color.html), a searchable index (api.html, fuzzy search over every symbol), the landing page (index.html), the ludic-highlight.js highlighter (all its symbol tables, tips, per-item link targets, per-parameter anchors and hover-card data generated from the sources above), symbols.json, and .nojekyll.

In any code sample: keywords/types/builtins/annotations link to their page; Screen.fill_rectangle links Screen → the namespace page and fill_rectangle → the method page separately; a named argument like width: links to that parameter's anchor; Color.Charcoal links Color and Charcoal separately; hovering any token shows a summary card from the real API data.

Build & check

python3 tools/docgen/gen.py --out build/pages    # generate the whole site
python3 tools/docgen/check.py build/pages         # coverage + duplicate-token + link guard
python3 tools/docgen/validate.py                  # compile every ```ludic example with bin/ludicc

check.py fails CI if any symbol in inventory.json lacks a page, if a token is documented on two pages, or if a highlighter link points at a missing page — so "every symbol is documented, autogenerated each time" is enforced. validate.py needs a built bin/ludicc; the deploy CI is Python-only, so run it locally or in a toolchain-enabled job.

No third-party dependencies — Python standard library only.

Publish

.forgejo/workflows/docs.yml runs gen.py + check.py on every push to main that touches docs/** or tools/docgen/**, and publishes the result to the pages branch root. index.html + .nojekyll always stay at the root.

Colors

palette.json is generated by tools/docgen/palette.py from a single PALETTE table, which also generates selfhost/emit_color.ludic. Regenerate colors there.
