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).

fn-world_get world_get ecs builtin world_get world_get(target, property, field) -> int Read one field of a model instance by numeric id (reflection ABI). 50

world_get reads a single field of a model instance entirely by numeric id, returning its value as an int. It is the id-based counterpart to the ordinary position.column field access that queries give you — used when the property is not known at compile time, as in a mod or a generic tool. You supply the target instance (an entity), the property id (from world_prop_id), and the field id (from world_field_id); the result is the stored value. Pair it with world_set to write. Reading a field of an instance that lacks the property is not meaningful, so guard with world_has first if unsure.

Parameters:

  • target — the model instance to read from, an entity handle
  • property — the property id, from world_prop_id
  • field — the field id within that property, from world_field_id
program ReadField {
  property Position { column: int = 0, row: int = 0 }
  model Player { Position }

  handler Boot phase Start {
    spawn Hero { Position { column: 7, row: 2 } }
  }

  handler Inspect phase Update {
    let position_property = world_prop_id("Position")
    let column_field = world_field_id(position_property, "column")
    for (position) in query [Position, {Player}] {
      let value = world_get(self(), position_property, column_field)
      Screen.status(str(value))
    }
  }
