A list no longer says what its items are. ListDef.items, ListDef.fields,
ListFieldDef.items and SetListItemsCommand are gone; the single seam is
src/core/properties/listItems.ts. JSON already tells number, text, boolean
and struct apart, so only two kinds need a tag: {"$color": n} and the new
{"$texture": id}. Field names cannot start with "$", so a tag never
collides with a struct field. On a data link a texture item arrives as
its bare id; the graph has no images.
List tab: the mark in front of each row is the kind picker, "+ Item"
asks for the kind, both are ordinary value edits (one undo step). A list
inside a struct field only offers the flat kinds because the depth rule
forbids a struct item there (ListAccess.kinds); the menu used to offer
it and silently do nothing.
Legacy lists that declared items: 'color' are tagged on load.
Actor demo: the four walk animations and four standing frames live in
two list variables of texture items indexed by facing (Item at), so the
graph can be rebuilt in the editor. The stand frames get their grid ids
back; 44 nodes instead of 46.
Also: the user's edits to on-start-during-play.md and the new note
reseed-because-of-list.md.
Verified: check.sh 794 tests, full e2e 631 checks, smokes 24/19/20.

The value type was already there: StructValue, textOf, sameValue,
writeTyped/mergeStruct and the struct port type came with the first
part, and Get/Set variable carry any-ports, so a bundle already flowed
through the graph unchanged. What was missing was the declaration.
PropertyDef gains kind 'struct' with a list of fields, VARIABLE_KINDS a
fifth kind, variableDef a fifth parameter. A declared field is a
primitive - a list field would need a nested editor and therefore the
path in the slot address, the same step "a list of structs" is waiting
for. coerceValue now returns PropertyValue rather than FieldValue, the
first value type that is not a field; none of its five callers break.
In the inspector a struct variable is a block, not a tab. The list tab
exists because hundreds of rows fit in no inspector row; a struct is the
opposite case - few fields that fit under each other. It is the port
editor Pack already has, one level down and with a value column: type,
key and default value in one place. A placed object sees the same fields
as plain value rows: overriding yes, declaring no.
Adding or removing a field touches the declaration, the default, the
behavior's value and every instance override in one command, so a stored
value can never keep a shape its declaration no longer promises. The row
handlers read the bundle at the moment of the change rather than closing
over a snapshot - a field writes the whole bundle, so with a snapshot
the second edited row revives the first one's old value. defSignature
carries the fields, otherwise a new row appears only at the next
rebuild.
Fixes a fixture fault this uncovered: step 10 pushed its text object
into the scene without instanceEdits, which overrideSites walks with
Object.entries. AddStructFieldCommand is the first caller to reach it
from that state; the step was green alone and failed three checks in the
full suite.
Moves the dynamic-ports note to done - all three of its parts are built.
