Layers (config.layers, onlayer, add_layer, show_layer_at, camera with perspective), the
game's config.custom_text_tags called like Ren'Py does (the built-in {bt}/{fi}/... copies
are gone), built-in {font} {alpha} {k} {cps} {a} {rb}/{rt} {space} {alt} {image}, FontGroup,
mouse displayable, renpy.fetch, preferences backed by the player's settings, Color class,
Render.subsurface/zoom, `default obj.attr` on provided objects, and a repaint loop that
survives text being laid out again.

Each letter is moved by one animation loop with the formulas of BounceText, FadeInText, ScareText and
GlitchText (fi follows the text speed, bt keeps its phase while a line is typed out, glitch cuts the text
into strips that jump sideways). Flatten and `at Flatten` isolate their children as one picture, screens
get the 3D turns, matrixtransform and blend of their widgets, and RotateMatrix/OffsetMatrix/ScaleMatrix
exist in Python.

Named stores (PyNamespace: dotted access, functions that see their own store first, restored after a
save is loaded), real generators run step by step (next, send, yield as an expression), len/bool through
__len__/__bool__, os/calendar/itertools/pygame_sdl2 helpers, Skip and ToggleLocalVariable actions,
text tags {glitch} and {wave} and plain display of explode/gradient/ruby, SnowBlossom and anim.Blink,
RoundedCorners as a transform, transforms listed in `at`, ATL choice weights that are flags, and
renpy.image_size from the converter's picture sizes.

Text fields (`input`) with InputValue classes games can extend, continue/break in screen loops, Confirm,
CaptureFocus/ClearFocus/InvertSelected, generator functions and iter/next, starred tuple items,
renpy.file and json over data files loaded before the game starts, renpy.Container and
register_sl_displayable, DiamondBox layout, ConditionSwitch/DynamicImage/Animation, renpy.show(what=...),
callable transforms (`store.move_in(0.3)`), call_in_new_context as a call, im.matrix/im.Image/
MatrixColor, colorsys, fnmatch, FontGroup, persistent._clear and small renpy helpers.

Games write their own displayables with render(), renpy.Render, blit, fill, canvas() and renpy.redraw.
render.ts keeps a tree of placed pieces (child renders, ordinary displayables, fills and drawing
commands) and turns it into DOM elements that stay put between redraws; pointer events reach event()
as pygame-style objects, and a returned value ends the interaction. Shaders and GPU properties are
accepted and ignored. The converter whitelists the calls and methods and accepts `import pygame`.

screens: `drag` with draggable True moves with the pointer (the place is kept while the screen is
shown); `at icon["at"]` picks a transform that Python code stored in a dict (transform names now
evaluate to a reference); PreviewSlowText and Move(...) exist as values. Python: Matrix([16 numbers])
for matrixcolor, renpy.has_live2d() is false, renpy.fetch fails like a missing network (games catch
it), cache.get_total_size and the texture helpers are no-ops.

MIST's cutscene screen has a 0.1s timer that changes a variable, and every change rebuilt the whole
screen: the <video> restarted each time and "Skip" was replaced between press and release, so the
click never landed. Videos (Movie(play=...) and the movie channel picture) are now kept per shown
screen and resumed if the browser paused them, and a redraw requested while a pointer is down waits
for its release.

Games with their own save screens work: FileAction/FileSave/FileLoad/FileDelete/FilePage*, FileLoadable,
FileTime, FileSaveName, FileJson and friends use browser slots (a slot has no screenshot). Added
renpy.has_image/has_screen/list_files/get_mouse_pos/log/jump_out_of_context/random.seed,
renpy.translation.translate_string, type/id/vars/Flatten/LiveComposite/Composite, bare defaultdict/
deepcopy, md5/sha256 (checked against test vectors), uuid4, time.monotonic, re.compile().fullmatch,
math.isfinite and `{**a, "k": v}`. The converter whitelists them and accepts the hashlib/uuid imports.

`frame at (a if cond else b)` is kept as a choice that the player resolves each time the screen is
drawn. An ATL line splits at top-level commas into separate statements, so `zoom 1.2, 0.2` is a zoom
followed by a 0.2s pause, as Ren'Py compiles it (two-value properties such as `pos 0.5, 0.5` stay
whole). The inert events deselected/unselected, which Ren'Py never sends, are accepted. With the
build profile for The Only Doe 0.05 the game now passes the strict script check.

Screens get an invisible mousearea that reports the pointer entering and leaving without taking
clicks. datetime.date/datetime/timedelta support construction and date arithmetic. dir() lists the
game's variables, renpy.style.rebuild() is a no-op, and renpy.image_size answers only for pictures
the browser already holds (otherwise an IOError the game can catch).

- pyparse.ts: parser for expressions and simple statements built at run time, producing
the sandbox's own IR; backs eval() and exec() (e.g. exec("persistent." + var + " = 0"))
- Replay/EndReplay and renpy.end_replay: the engine stashes the full game state, runs the
label with the given scope and restores everything when it ends; locked replays are
insensitive. Save loading shared as applySave()
- Screen actions are callable (MainMenu(confirm=False)())
- jump main_menu_screen is Ren'Py's own label: it opens the player's main menu
- Screens: a closing quote ends the word before a letter ("text"size 15) but not before
an operator ("a"+b); Text(...) pictures in image blocks
- README: current capabilities and limits of the Ren'Py support
Strict compatibility check on the local collection: Tomie, Twisted-Thoughts, Hooked,
iNSight-of-you and SomethingBetter pass; TheFixer (custom AlphaMask wardrobe, missing
labels) and That_New_Teacher (custom statements, Render API) do not.

ATL
- Image blocks become timelines: picture steps with dissolve, parallel, contains,
finite repeat, time, function f(trans, st, at), calls of other transforms with
arguments, on hover/idle events for buttons. Animations stop when their element
leaves the page
- Pictures defined by an expression (get_face_path("base")) are drawn at show time
- Purely graphical hints (shader, mesh, gl_*, u_*) are accepted and dropped
Colour
- matrixcolor and im.matrix.* as 5x5 matrices combined with `*`, applied through SVG
filters; im.MatrixColor/Scale/Crop/Blur/Composite and Text/Image as values
Python
- match statement, re/copy/time/datetime/defaultdict/functools.partial, more
str/dict methods, Character(...) created by code
- narrator("..."), Character calls, renpy.say and renpy.show/hide with expressions in
Python blocks become script nodes
- Audit follows reachability: functions and classes nothing refers to (custom
statement lexers, unused tools) no longer block an import
Docs: README and ARCHITECTURE now describe a multi-engine library (GameMaker and
QSP planned). Tests for the new runtime pieces.

Converter
- screens.py parses the screen language: containers (fixed, frame, vbox, hbox,
grid, vpgrid, viewport, button, has), widgets (text, textbutton, imagebutton,
add, bar ...), if/for/use/transclude, default, python, key, timer, on, inline ATL,
conditional properties, and decompiled forms (unparenthesised operators,
glued property values, comma separated actions)
- style statements, call/show/hide screen operators and Python-level
renpy.show_screen are translated; only screens the game shows are audited,
unused stock screens no longer block an import; undefined screens do
- ATL values may be computed at run time and transforms take parameters
(at blink(0.2, 0.3)); blur property
Player
- screens.ts builds the DOM from the IR and rebuilds it on state changes;
buttons with idle/hover/selected/insensitive states, tooltips, sounds, modal
screens, timers and keys that survive re-rendering, saved with the save file
- Actions: Jump, Call, Return, SetVariable, Toggle*, SetScreenVariable, Show, Hide,
ToggleScreen, Function, Play, Notify, If, Language, ShowMenu, OpenURL ...
- Crop/LiveCrop/Solid/Frame/Transform/DynamicDisplayable values, crop property,
globals(), renpy.variant/change_language/seen_image, transition stubs
Tests: screen parser and runtime (linkedom DOM), screens fixture compiled from
tests/fixtures/screens.rpy. Docs: docs/SCREENS.md.
Twisted-Thoughts now passes the strict compatibility check.
