James Dansereau 35483f9892 plan: track mod support and HD texture packs as researched post-1.0 items ...

Both investigated 2026-09-22 against the MIT PD port fork; neither is v0.4.0
work. Recorded here rather than only in the gitignored notes backlog so the
branch carries the conclusions.

Mod support (D325-D328): community mods repack the ROM, so vanilla offsets are
useless; the fix is an offline importer plus a mod-directory override layer, not
a loader rewrite. GE's file table is in the ROM at 0x252c4 inside the
1172-compressed data segment at 0x21990 (681 exact matches vs filelist, 0
mismatches; hardcode-free discovery reads Random Eye's own table to 704/726
byte-identical). Remaining effort is the mod-dir override layer; added levels
stay blocked by rule 2.

HD texture packs (issue #100): PD's texpack architecture studied - identity, not
decoding, is the problem. Our gfx_pc.cpp is the same lineage and GE_TEXDUMP is
already most of a dumper. Step 1 (address -> texturenum registry) is the only
novel design decision and is a src/game touch needing #ifdef PORT.
