Proof of concept for shader support on UIFrame:
- Add shader and shader_enabled members to UIFrame
- Add initializeTestShader() with hardcoded wave/glow fragment shader
- Add shader_enabled Python property for toggling
- Apply shader when drawing RenderTexture sprite
- Auto-update time uniform for animated effects
Also fixes position corruption when toggling RenderTexture usage:
- Standard rendering path now uses `position` as source of truth
- Prevents box position from staying at (0,0) after texture render
Test files:
- tests/shader_poc_test.py: Visual test of 6 render variants
- tests/shader_toggle_test.py: Regression test for position bug

- Fix#223: Use `position` instead of `box.getPosition()` for render_sprite
positioning. The box was being set to (0,0) for texture rendering and
never restored, causing frames to render at wrong positions.
- Fix#224: Add disableRenderTexture() method and call it when toggling
clip_children or cache_subtree off. This properly cleans up the texture
and prevents stale rendering.
- Fix#225: Improve dirty propagation in markContentDirty() to propagate
to parent even when already dirty, if the parent was cleared (rendered)
since last propagation. Prevents child changes from being invisible.
- Fix#226: Add fallback to standard rendering when RenderTexture can't
be created (e.g., zero-size frame). Prevents inconsistent state.

Game script updates (src/scripts/):
- Migrate Sound/Music API: createSoundBuffer() -> Sound() objects
- Migrate Scene API: sceneUI("name") -> scene.children
- Migrate Timer API: setTimer/delTimer -> Timer objects with stop()
- Fix callback signatures: (x,y,btn,event) -> (pos,btn,action) with Vector
- Fix grid_size unpacking: now returns Vector, use .x/.y with int()
Segfault fix (src/PyTimer.cpp):
- Remove direct map erase in PyTimer::stop() that caused iterator
invalidation when timer.stop() was called from within a callback
- Now just marks timer as stopped; testTimers() handles safe removal
The game now starts and runs without crashes.

New Features:
- Scene Explorer window (F4) displays hierarchical tree of all scenes
- Shows UIDrawable hierarchy with type, name, and visibility status
- Click scene name to switch active scene
- Double-click drawables to toggle visibility
- Displays Python repr() for cached objects, enabling custom class debugging
- Entity display within Grid nodes
Bug Fixes:
- Fix PythonObjectCache re-registration: when retrieving objects from
collections, newly created Python wrappers are now re-registered in
the cache. Previously, inline-created objects (e.g.,
scene.children.append(Frame(...))) would lose their cache entry when
the temporary Python object was GC'd, causing repeated wrapper
allocation on each access.
- Fix console focus stealing: removed aggressive focus reclaim that
caused title bar flashing when clicking in Scene Explorer
Infrastructure:
- Add GameEngine::getSceneNames() to expose scene list for explorer
- Scene Explorer uses same enabled flag as console (ImGuiConsole::isEnabled())

Enables background Python threads to safely modify UI objects by
synchronizing with the render loop at frame boundaries.
Implementation:
- FrameLock class provides mutex/condvar synchronization
- GIL released during window.display() allowing background threads to run
- Safe window opens between frames for synchronized UI updates
- mcrfpy.lock() context manager blocks until safe window, then executes
- Main thread detection: lock() is a no-op when called from callbacks
or script initialization (already synchronized)
Usage:
import threading
import mcrfpy
def background_worker():
with mcrfpy.lock(): # Blocks until safe
player.x = new_x # Safe to modify UI
threading.Thread(target=background_worker).start()
The lock works transparently from any context - background threads get
actual synchronization, main thread calls (callbacks, init) get no-op.

UIDrawables placed in a Grid's children collection now have:
- grid_pos: Position in tile coordinates (get/set)
- grid_size: Size in tile coordinates (get/set)
Raises RuntimeError if accessed when parent is not a Grid.
UIGrid only gets grid_pos (grid_size conflicts with existing property).

Safety improvements:
- Generation counter detects stale BSPNode references after clear()/split_recursive()
- GRID_MAX validation prevents oversized BSP trees
- Depth parameter capped at 16 to prevent resource exhaustion
- Iterator checks generation to detect invalidation during mutation
API improvements:
- Changed constructor from bounds=((x,y),(w,h)) to pos=(x,y), size=(w,h)
- Added pos and size properties alongside bounds
- BSPNode __eq__ compares underlying pointers for identity
- BSP __iter__ as shorthand for leaves()
- BSP __len__ returns leaf count
Tests:
- Added tests for stale node detection, GRID_MAX validation, depth cap
- Added tests for __len__, __iter__, and BSPNode equality

TileLayer (closes#200):
- apply_threshold(source, range, tile): Set tile index where heightmap value is in range
- apply_ranges(source, ranges): Apply multiple tile assignments in one pass
ColorLayer (closes#201):
- apply_threshold(source, range, color): Set fixed color where value is in range
- apply_gradient(source, range, color_low, color_high): Interpolate colors based on value
- apply_ranges(source, ranges): Apply multiple color assignments (fixed or gradient)
All methods return self for chaining. HeightMap size must match layer dimensions.
Later ranges override earlier ones if overlapping. Cells not matching any range are unchanged.

Rename parameters for clearer semantics:
- dig_hill: depth -> target_height
- dig_bezier: start_depth/end_depth -> start_height/end_height
The libtcod "dig" functions set terrain TO a target height, not
relative to current values. "target_height" makes this clearer.
Also add warnings for likely user errors:
- add_hill/dig_hill/dig_bezier with radius <= 0 (no-op)
- smooth with iterations <= 0 already raises ValueError

Add three methods that create NEW HeightMap objects:
- threshold(range): preserve original values where in range, 0.0 elsewhere
- threshold_binary(range, value=1.0): set uniform value where in range
- inverse(): return (1.0 - value) for each cell
These operations are immutable - they preserve the original HeightMap.
Useful for masking operations with Grid.apply_threshold/apply_ranges.

Position argument flexibility:
- get(), get_interpolated(), get_slope(), get_normal() now accept:
- Two separate args: hmap.get(5, 5)
- Tuple: hmap.get((5, 5))
- List: hmap.get([5, 5])
- Vector: hmap.get(mcrfpy.Vector(5, 5))
- Uses PyPositionHelper for standardized parsing
Subscript support:
- Add __getitem__ as shorthand for get(): hmap[5, 5] or hmap[(5, 5)]
Range validation:
- count_in_range() now raises ValueError when min > max
- count_in_range() accepts both tuple and list

Add methods to apply HeightMap data to Grid walkable/transparent properties:
- apply_threshold(source, range, walkable, transparent): Apply properties
to cells where HeightMap value is in the specified range
- apply_ranges(source, ranges): Apply multiple threshold rules in one pass
Features:
- Size mismatch between HeightMap and Grid raises ValueError
- Both methods return self for chaining
- Uses dynamic type lookup via module for HeightMap type checking
- First matching range wins in apply_ranges
- Cells not matching any range remain unchanged
- TCOD map is synced after changes for FOV/pathfinding

- get(pos): Get height value at integer coordinates
- get_interpolated(pos): Get bilinearly interpolated height at float coords
- get_slope(pos): Get slope angle (0 to pi/2) at position
- get_normal(pos, water_level): Get surface normal vector
- min_max(): Get (min, max) tuple of all values
- count_in_range(range): Count cells with values in range
All methods include proper bounds checking and error messages.
