Game-file footprint unchanged: still one line in main.lua.
Three-level navigation as specified in D2: Ctrl+PageUp/Down cycles categories,
PageUp/Down cycles kinds, Shift+PageUp/Down cycles instances of that kind, Home
announces where it is.
- categories.lua: flag-first classification into Creatures, Items, Alchemy,
Interactables, Exits and Terrain features, reusing the game's own 'exit' tag
and excluding the six nameless mechanical templates.
- tracker.lua: scan, cache, navigation, announcements.
Caching keys on level name, player position and turn: position because
everything sorts by distance to the player, turn because creatures move and
containers empty. Scans run on keypress, never per frame.
FoV is respected throughout -- creatures only when currently visible, tiles when
visible or remembered -- so the tracker never becomes a cheat.
Home reports path length alongside the offset, via the game's own
calculatePathFromPlayer. Straight-line distance is misleading indoors, where a
chest three tiles north through a wall can be twenty steps away.
Corrects D4 in docs/05-decisions.md. I had claimed tile.tryInteract cleanly
separates 'the player can do something here' from scenery. It does not: 'wall'
carries a flavour-only tryInteractFunction ('You touch the wall. It's cold and
rough.'), so every wall segment was promoted into Interactables -- 13 in the
starting house, burying the chest and cauldron. Structural tiles
(blocksMovement and blocksVision) are now excluded before the tryInteract test;
containers and furniture block movement but not sight, so they survive.
12 kinds/19 instances instead of 13/32.
13/13 testbed checks, history unit tests passing.

Establishes the mod skeleton and gets speech working end to end.
Game-file footprint: one line in main.lua.
- accessibility/init.lua: sole entry point. Patch registry, hooks states.switch
(announces screen changes) and states.update (per-frame speech flush, avoiding
an edit to love.update). Startup self-test prints what resolved -- the canary
for when a future game version moves something we hook.
- accessibility/speech.lua: TTS wrapper. pcall-guarded so a missing DLL degrades
to silence instead of crashing. Queues utterances within a frame and joins them,
since one game turn emits several console.print calls and speaking each with
interrupt would leave only the last audible.
- accessibility/stateNames.lua: spoken names for the 28 states.
- accessibility/vendor/love2talk: vendored TTS library, see VENDORED.md.
Loads Tolk.dll by absolute path via love.filesystem.getSource() and adds that
directory via SetDllDirectory, so the DLLs live in the project instead of
needing an elevated copy into Program Files.
Verified with lovec against NVDA: TTS available, speech channel yes,
'Main menu' spoken on startup.
