Output gains a number input `alpha`; unconnected it reads the texel's
alpha, like `color` reads the texel. The epilogue premultiplies with the
resolved alpha. New `Texture alpha` node exposes texel.a for maths.
PortDef.inline=false keeps the alpha port without an inline field: every
number port is inline by default, and a typed default of 0 would have made
every shaded sprite invisible. The compiler's texel fallback is typed:
colour ports get rgb, number ports get texel.a.

The shipped shader graph gains a `brightness - 1` offset node, so 1 stays
neutral and brightness lifts every channel by the same amount; contrast keeps
multiplying, saturation keeps mixing with the luma. Fixture, seeds, unit and
e2e expectations follow (twelve nodes, 1.25 -> #80c0ff).

A shader is an asset carrying a node graph (Texture color, Output, Property,
Color, Add/Subtract/Multiply/Divide, Mix, Luminance) that compiles to the GLSL
fragment of a Pixi filter. The Shader tab reuses the Behavior canvas; a sprite
wears a shader through its Shader picker, and the rows below it are the
graph's Property nodes. Property schema, resolution and deviation take the
project because a sprite's rows now live in another asset. The built-in
registry of the prototype is gone; "Adjust colors" ships as a graph in the
fixture and the three example games.
