The sheet becomes a fixed grid (one row per entity, one column slot per
animation state) described by a sidecar entities.toml that only maps
names to rows; the loader reads present states and frame counts off the
pixels, so assembling the sheet by hand needs no bookkeeping.
tools/mktemplate.py renders the labelled template with low-alpha slot
guides. The CGA atlas is kept for larger UI text.

Source packs move to assets/packs (untouched), maps to assets/maps, and the
palette/sketch leftovers from the 8-bit era go. tools/mkfont.py repacks
VEXED's Micro Chat sheet (8-column grid, 8x10 cells) into the CP437 atlas
layout the font loader already reads, cropped to 8x9 so the HUD can use an
8 px line height. The CGA atlas is dropped in its favor.

Ports the CP437 font renderer from wds to the framebuffer: proportional
advance from measured ink bounds, luminance-keyed mask, word wrap. The
right 80 px strip becomes a HUD with name, HP bar, population and a log
fed from sim events; Attacked/Died now carry the type ids the log needs,
since the victim is gone from the world by the time events are read.
