Calic 57a9a42054 fix(launcher): localize image-missing placeholder + drop dead icons.lua
- markdown.lua: M.render now accepts an optional `t` 6th arg (ctx.t).
  When present, the image-missing fallback string is looked up via the
  new `image_missing_fmt` key in strings.lua. Callers without t (the
  launcher-test bytecopy) get the hardcoded English string verbatim,
  matching previous behavior.
- panels/detail.lua: both md.render call sites now thread ctx.t through.
- strings.lua: add image_missing_fmt = "[image missing: %s]".
- icons.lua: deleted. The v0.2.0 status-glyph helper was replaced by
  dep_glyph_* string keys in v0.3.0; grep confirmed no remaining refs.
- manifest.module: bump 0.3.2 -> 0.3.3.

lib-management.launcher

Module-discovery and module-switch entry. Lists available modules from the configured modules-dir and launches the selected one via engine.switch_module. Typical entry point: --module=lib-management.launcher boots into a chooser screen rather than directly into a game.

Version: 0.1.0
Module-ID: lib-management.launcher
Requires: lib-core.input v>=0.4.0
Tags: launcher, menu, system, navigation

Controls

  • Mouse-Left: Click a module-button to launch it; click confirm/cancel in the quit-modal.
  • Enter: Confirm quit when the modal is open.
  • Escape: Open the quit-modal from the chooser; cancel the modal when open.

Demonstrates

  • engine.module.list discovery of installed modules from the modules-dir.
  • engine.switch_module runtime swap from the launcher to the selected module.
  • Simple text + rect rendering via engine.render for the chooser UI.
  • Input-action binding through lib-core.input (ui_click, ui_back, ui_confirm).
  • Modal-state FSM (chooser <-> quit-modal) factored into a sibling fsm.lua loaded via engine.module.dir_of.
