adminandClaude Opus 5 66d6aafbb4 Pixel art can be drawn in its own tab with layers and frames (#130) ...

Textures are uploaded files named by their content, so they cannot
be edited in place. Pixel art is therefore its own asset type, like
vector art. Its pixels live in the project and the tab rasters them
into a texture that sprites, tiles and animations can use.

- New asset types Pixel art and Palette. The first pixel art of a
  project gets a palette with the 16 PICO-8 colours in the same undo
  step. Every pixel is a palette index, 0 is transparent.
- Each layer on each frame is its own file data/pixels/<sha256>.px.
  The project only holds the names, so undo swaps names. The browser
  computes the hash and uploads new cels before the project is saved.
- New route POST ?r=pixels in api/lib/PixelStore.php. It answers 201
  and 422 for broken data. data/pixels/ is git-ignored.
- Tools: pencil, eraser, fill (contiguous or all pixels of a colour),
  eyedropper, line, rectangle and ellipse (outline or filled), brush
  size 1 to 8.
- Layers can be added, deleted, renamed, reordered, hidden, faded and
  merged down. Frames can be added, duplicated, deleted and reordered,
  with onion skin and a small playing preview.
- Zoom 1x to 32x in whole steps, grid from 8x, a 3x3 tile preview and
  Resize... with a 3x3 anchor.
- All frames sit side by side in one image. Each frame is a region
  like a cut texture frame, so texture rows offer "Asset / Frame 2"
  and the context menu has Create animation from frames.

Decisions:
- Merging down drops the opacity of the upper layer. Indexed colours
  know no blends.
- Only the last palette colour can be removed. Otherwise the indices
  of every image using the palette would shift.
- Undo stores the whole layer per stroke instead of pixel diffs.
- Alt+click picks a colour. It is a mouse gesture, not a shortcut.

Follow-up issues: #197 import from texture, #198 selection and
flipping, #199 PNG export, #200 more tools.

Tests:
- ./check.sh: 136 files, 2049 tests (before 135 / 2011). 34 new in
  tests/core/pixel-art.test.ts, 4 from the icon tables.
- e2e module 48 fresh: ALL PASSED, 29 checks, console empty.
- Counter-probes bite: five on the unit tests, upload order (2 tests
  fail) and cels not uploaded in the browser (1 check fails).
- Check total 1259 in README is computed (1232 measured in CI + 27).

A picture in the editor may now be drawn instead of uploaded, which is the piece #129 (Vector art) and #130 (Pixel editor) both need and neither could build alone: TextureRef.file has been a file name on the server, isTextureFile() checking a sha256 hash plus an extension and TextureLibrary fetching it over HTTP, so an asset that paints its own image had nowhere to put itself - the key now also takes the form gen:<assetId>@<revision>, which an uploaded file can never look like, and everything that only passes a ref along (sprite, tile, tilemap mesh, particle source, shaders, aspect ratio) is untouched because it still sees a Texture; the revision is a string, not a counter, which is the one deviation from the plan in the issue and costs nothing - gen:a1@7 and gen:a1@c0ffee go through the same door, so a generator may fingerprint its own content instead of relying on every command to remember to bump a number; two registries keyed by asset type as a plain string, so a plugin may bring its own type - registerPictureSource(type, read) in the new core/model/generated.ts tells the model canvas size and revision and resolvePicture() builds the ref from it (no rect, no slice, smooth from props.filter like a texture), and registerPictureGenerator(type, draw) in the new viewport/generatedPictures.ts hands out the finished texture, projectPictureFactory(() => state.project) tying the two together per session in App.ts; invalidation is a rule instead of guesswork at twenty call sites: GeneratedPictures<T> holds one picture per asset keyed on the revision and frees the old one as soon as the new is drawn, TextureLibrary destroying it and dropping the crops cut from it, while a generator that cannot draw yet is not remembered but asked again next time - the class imports Pixi as a type only, so the whole bookkeeping is measurable without a GPU; carried along are the picture picker (a drawn asset sits among the textures by name, without frames), the delete warning (counts tiles and animations for it too) and the asset context menu, where "Create sprite from picture" now covers it while "Create animation from texture" stays texture-only because it needs frames; one finding while probing - crop() could not have cut a generated texture at all, a RenderTexture having no source.resource to draw back from and drawImage running onto null, so it is handed out whole, a drawn picture having no sheet whose neighbouring row could bleed in; 18 new unit tests, 10 in tests/core/generated-picture.test.ts (building and splitting the key, an uploaded file is not one, no registry means no picture, resolving to canvas size, a new revision is a new key, a canvas without a size, the filter, the sprite size, picker order) and 8 in tests/viewport/generated-pictures.test.ts (drawing once, freeing the old revision and only for its own asset, null is not remembered, no key means nothing drawn, a session change gives everything back, peek), and three counter-checks hold: dropping generated assets from resolvePicture fails 5 of the 10 core tests, not freeing the old revision fails 1 viewport test, and narrowing the picker back to textures fails 3; no e2e check and the check sum stays 1157, because without a generator the groundwork shows nothing in the browser - that evidence comes with #129 (#185)
