Three things stood between the flagship program and the web target, and each
is answered here rather than worked around.
The brush was a path. (rl/load-texture "brush.png") hands raylib a filename to
open, and a bare relative path means nothing on a target with no filesystem.
It is (embed "brush.png") now, decoded through a new binding —
LoadImageFromMemory, declared (Ptr u8) plus an explicit count because the shim
generator refuses a slice parameter and says so, with a Flan wrapper taking
the slice apart exactly as collision-point-poly? and load-font-ex already do.
One decode now serves both textures: the unflipped upload first, then
ImageFlipHorizontal in place, then the mirrored one. load-texture and
load-image lose their only call site in this repository; that is deliberate,
because a path-based load is the thing that cannot work here.
A package's C may now be addressed to one target, the way a link line already
could. A .c file may carry a tag before its extension — flan_agent.web.c — and
on that target it is compiled and *replaces* the untagged file of the same
base name. Replacement rather than plain tagging, so that teaching a package
about a new target is additive: the file that was right on three targets is
not renamed to say so. Selection is in Build and not in Load, for the reason
select_lflags gives.
The dev agent on the web is a no-op, and the reasoning is written at length in
vendor/agent/flan_agent.web.c. Short version: the agent is a socket server and
a browser has no sockets, so the missing <sys/time.h> was the surface and not
the cause. Refusing vendor:agent on a web target was the other candidate and
is ruled out by arithmetic — Flan has no conditional compilation, sand.flan
calls agent/start unconditionally, Reach cannot prune a package something
reachable calls into, so a refusal means the program does not build for the
browser at all. This does not contradict the `barf` decision made earlier
today. `barf` is asked to make something durable, and a no-op returns success
to a program that now believes bytes are on disk. The agent is asked to accept
redefinitions, and on the web there is no editor, no socket and no session —
--dev is refused by name on every wasm target — so there is nothing to lose.
sand.flan already says the same of a native release build at the call site.
test/test_web.ml builds sand.flan for the browser and reads the module for
brush.png's own bytes, whole. Not "IHDR": stb_image carries that string itself,
linked in from raylib, so it would pass on a build where the embed emitted
nothing. It is not run — node has no DOM, so main reaches InitWindow and dies
inside glfwInit on `window is not defined`, which says the module is live and
nothing about whether the canvas paints.
test/dune gains brush.png, because an embed is read by the checker and the
headless case reaches sand.flan through ../../ from a sandboxed _build.
test_session's C-c C-k case now passes ~origin, which is what both editor
paths already send; omitting it was testing a request nobody makes.
dune test is green. Docs follow in the next commit.
