A software light pass over the framebuffer, run in a render phase after drawing the scene: Light.ambient multiplies the scene toward a tint (night/cave mood), Light.point additively accumulates a radial glow with linear falloff clamped per channel, and Light.occlude / Light.clear_occluders cast hard shadows by blocking a light's rays against rectangular occluders. Integer + Q16.16 fixed throughout, so a scene lights identically every run and in a headless render (diffable). Engine in runtime/native/light.ludic, spliced on demand (g_uses_light) like the regex/query runtimes; namespace wired in emit_call.ludic. Ships issue #4 tiers 1 (ambient + additive radial lights) and 2 (hard shadows). Normal-mapped sprites, soft shadows, a day/night directional light, and auto-consuming Light2D/Occluder components are follow-ups (the auto-system hook is tracked by #43). - runtime/native/light.ludic: the light-accumulation engine (isqrt falloff, segment/occluder shadow test, ambient modulate) - examples/library/lighting.ludic: 14 pixel-readback assertions - docs/language/light/: Light.ambient/point/occlude/clear_occluders - tools/x/test.ludic: lighting.ludic in the regression suite Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 <noreply@anthropic.com>

Multiplies every framebuffer pixel by <code>color</code> (a <code>0x00RRGGBB</code> tint), channel by channel (<code>channel * tint / 255</code>). This is the global modulate that sets mood before any light adds brightness back: a dim blue-grey gives night, a warm brown gives a cave, and <code>0xFFFFFF</code> is a no-op. Call it once, after drawing the scene and before the <a href="light-point"><code>Light.point</code></a> calls that light it back up.
