Matthew Stanley b0f8a8518c docs: per-glyph text investigation (font index map, label storage, hook design)
Records the concrete findings for the deferred per-glyph HUD/menu/title
localization: the font glyph-index map (Latin A-Z=73-98, 0-9=105-114;
fullwidth Latin glyphs present, no injection needed), the static LE-SJIS
label storage in fixed-width space-padded slots (level names 0x80070755+,
tutorial/mode labels 0x80070300+), and the cleanest hook design (load-time
source patch: rewrite a label's katakana/hiragana SJIS to fullwidth-Latin
so the existing per-glyph routine draws English).

Not shipped: the verification bar is a rendered-English screenshot, and the
target screens (mode/level-select, in-game HUD) are unreachable in the
headless build — the attract never auto-plays the demo, and reaching them
needs completing the name-entry glyph grid (blind grid nav to the "End"
cell did not land). Committing a RAM-patch without that screenshot would be
unverified coverage. Remaining resisters (HUD runtime counter; title/CLEAR
sprites) documented.
