AnachronautandClaude Opus 5 94bdf71356 Lunar Porter moves into a directory of its own
The first application with things of its own, and the first customer for
all three rungs before it at once.

  /Apps/Lander                      a launcher
  /Packages/app.Lander/Lander.sbx   the program
  /Packages/app.Lander/splash.tune  its tune

Typing "Lander" starts the launcher, which needs no new rule: the shell
runs what it reads, so a launcher beginning "#!" and Say.sbx beginning
"SBEX" go down the same road and neither the shell nor the person has to
know which kind of thing they started. It passes on what it was told with
$args, and says #quiet, because a launcher is machinery and not
narration. The game then asks where it came from and joins its tune's
name to that, so nothing anywhere names /splash.tune.

Every recorded Lander test still types just "Lander" and knows nothing
about any of this, which is exactly the claim.

---- Why the directory is not in /Apps ----

A launcher and a directory of the same name cannot both be there; SBFS
refuses the second. And /Apps is the directory the shell walks for every
word it does not know and Tab walks for every first word, so doubling
what is in it is a cost on the path that runs most.

The "app." goes in FRONT rather than behind because Tab matches the start
of a name: a prefix is a namespace and a suffix is a collision. Copy.app
beside Copy.sbx makes "Copy" and Tab complete to the shared "Copy." and
hand you a broken word.

The launcher names drive 0, so a game started from a disk of your own is
looked for where the game is rather than where you are - its lines run on
your disk, which is what makes everything else in a script work.

/lander.state stays at the root. A saved position belongs to whoever
saved it and is found where they are standing; a tune belongs to the
program and is found beside it. That pair is the whole distinction.

---- And what it cost ----

Two hundred thousand cycles, about twelve frames, between the machine
starting and the game drawing: a script opened, a deeper path walked. Six
video captures moved out by that much. The drift bar needed something
else - its pad is counted from the MACHINE starting rather than the game,
so the burn is now twelve frames shorter from the game's point of view,
and the recording holds the button longer instead.
