`init -490 screen`, `import x as y` and `from m import A as B`, classes with @renpy.pure, pickle hooks
on classes, `*` items in tuples and lists, generator functions (yield statements; the player runs them
to the end), multi-line expressions that need brackets, Null() and Animation() images, images given as
expressions (`"path/{}.png".format(x)`, f-strings), window statements in init, `offset` in ATL, input
widgets with their values and the focus/confirm actions, `continue` and `break` in screens, `drag`
and DiamondBox-style `fixed` with cell_size, `getattr(...)()` calls, transforms called with arguments,
and the whitelist for the new runtime. JSON files of a game are shipped as data files. Also fixes
blocking_names failing on a call of a call during full conversion.

The build (fingerprint of its scripts) skips third-party code written against Ren'Py's render API
(colour picker demo, Kinetic Text Tags, cps_preview) and waives its one missing test screen. Converter:
xpan/ypan/matrixtransform/matrixanchor are skipped like other GPU hints, `if renpy.has_live2d()` in an
init block keeps only its else branch, `crop(...)xpos` and `crop (1, 2, 3, 4)` parse, `drag` is a screen
container, `at icon["at"]` becomes a dynamic entry, and the whitelist gains Matrix, Move, absolute and
the no-op helpers. The game now passes the strict check and converts fully (3272 files, 288 MB).

- 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.
