alchemist-accessibility/accessibility/init.lua

-- accessibility/init.lua — mod entry point.
--
-- This is the ONLY thing the game calls into. main.lua gains exactly one line:
--
--     require("accessibility").initialize()
--
-- placed after console.prepare() and before the first states.switch(). By that
-- point templates are preprocessed, keybindings are loaded, states.setup() has
-- run, and the console canvas exists — everything we patch is ready.
--
-- Everything here is wrapped so that a bug in the mod degrades to "no speech"
-- rather than taking the game down with it.

	-- Replacing the states table field alone leaves love.keypressed pointing at
	-- the old function and our wrapper never runs.
