alchemist-accessibility/accessibility/menus.lua

-- menus.lua — narrates focus in the game's menu screens.
--
-- Most menu states keep their focus in file-local variables (`selectedOption`,
-- `optionsList`, ...) which are not reachable through the table the state returns.
-- They ARE reachable as upvalues of the state's own functions, via
-- debug.getupvalue.
--
-- Per docs/05-decisions.md (D3) this driver supports two interchangeable
-- backends, so we can move between them without rewriting per-screen logic:
--
--   mode "probe"   -- read upvalues. Zero edits to game files. Depends on
--                     internal variable names, so it is checked by the self-test.
--   mode "patched" -- game files call accessibility.announce() directly. Robust,
--                     but must be re-applied on each game version.
--
-- The `render` function in each descriptor -- which holds all the per-screen
-- knowledge -- is shared by both. Switching modes is a config flag.

-- file that references it sees the same variable, so whichever function we reach
-- it through yields the same value. This saves hand-picking a probe function per
-- descriptor, and survives the common case where the local we want is touched by
-- draw() or an inner helper rather than by keypressed().
