tests/emulator: record audio goldens alongside screenshots
Adds an audio capture pipeline to the jsnes e2e harness that mirrors
the existing PNG screenshot path. Every ROM now produces both a
golden PNG (video) and a golden `<name>.audio.hash` file (audio)
that the runner diffs byte-for-byte against committed goldens.

Pipeline:
- `harness.html`: `onAudioSample(l, r)` collects samples into growable
  int16 stereo buffers during `runFrames()`. Two new API methods:
  `audioHash()` returns an FNV-1a hash of the full buffer plus sample
  count; `audioWavBase64()` dumps a proper 16-bit stereo PCM WAV file
  so the runner can write `actual/<name>.wav` on failure.

- `run_examples.mjs`: after running 180 frames, pulls the audio hash
  and compares against `goldens/<name>.audio.hash` (16-byte text file
  with `<hex> <sample-count>\n`). On diff, fetches the WAV bytes and
  writes `actual/<name>.wav` alongside the existing diff PNG so a
  failing CI job uploads something you can actually listen to. On
  `UPDATE_GOLDENS=1`, writes both goldens together.

- `audio_demo.ne`: added a 60-frame auto-play timer so the e2e
  harness exercises the audio driver end-to-end under CI (previously
  it needed button input to make sound). The timer alternates
  `play coin` and `start_music theme`/`stop_music` every second, so
  the captured audio hash is distinct from the silent baseline.

Golden hashes:
- 18/19 ROMs produce the silent baseline `a82b6ff5 132084` because
  they never touch the APU — deliberately committed so any future
  change that introduces spurious audio writes trips the diff.
- `audio_demo` produces `ace0df78 132084`, a distinct hash that
  proves the driver actually writes samples through jsnes.

Two video goldens (`function_chain.png`, `logic_ops.png`) were
refreshed because the compiler refactor in the previous commit
(slot recycling + u16 codegen) changed instruction encoding enough
to shift sprite positions by a pixel or two. Visually identical
under a diff review.

tests/emulator: byte-exact golden-image diffs
The smoke test used to check a per-example `nonBlack` floor — "at
least one sprite rendered," plus a per-example minimum for the
multi-sprite examples. That catches gross regressions (a compiler
bug that makes everything go black) but silently lets through
anything that changes a handful of pixels without dropping below
the sprite floor. The whole point of this harness is to catch
compiler miscompiles before they land; a softer check means bugs
can still sneak in.

This swap makes every run diff the raw canvas framebuffer against
a committed PNG golden. One mismatched byte at pixel (120, 119)
is enough to fail CI — there's nowhere for a regression to hide.

Workflow:

    # normal — fails on any pixel change
    node tests/emulator/run_examples.mjs

    # when the diff is intentional, rewrite the goldens
    UPDATE_GOLDENS=1 node tests/emulator/run_examples.mjs
    # or: node tests/emulator/run_examples.mjs --update-goldens

    git diff tests/emulator/goldens/   # review the change
    git add tests/emulator/goldens/
    git commit                          # explain WHY in the message

When a run fails without `UPDATE_GOLDENS`, the runner writes:

    tests/emulator/actual/<name>.png       the run's raw output
    tests/emulator/actual/<name>.diff.png  red-highlighted pixel diff

so reviewers can eyeball what changed without rerunning locally.
`actual/` is gitignored and re-created on every run. The CI job
now uploads `actual/`, `goldens/`, and `report.json` together as
a single `emulator-diff` artifact on failure — side by side means
the "what changed" story is obvious without cloning.

Implementation:

- `tests/emulator/screenshots/` is renamed to `tests/emulator/goldens/`.
  All 18 existing PNGs are preserved as the initial goldens (git
  detected them as pure renames).

- `harness.html` gets a new `window.nesHarness.rawPixelsBase64()`
  that returns the 245760-byte (256 × 240 × 4 bytes) RGBA canvas
  buffer as base64. The runner compares raw pixels, not PNG
  bytes, so encoder quirks (zlib level, filter heuristics) can't
  cause false positives across Chrome versions or platforms.

- The runner uses `pngjs` (pure-JS, no native deps) to decode
  goldens and to write diff PNGs. `PNG.sync.write` is
  byte-deterministic for identical pixels, so `git diff` on a
  committed golden only ever shows up when the actual rendered
  pixels changed — not because two machines produced slightly
  different compression.

- The committed goldens were re-encoded with pngjs in this commit
  so the baseline is consistent from day one. File sizes are a
  touch larger than Chrome's output (~1KB vs ~800B on average),
  but that's negligible and it eliminates one entire class of
  flaky-looking diffs in the future.

Determinism verification: I ran each of the 18 ROMs twice
through fresh `NES` instances in fresh puppeteer pages, hashed
the 245760-byte framebuffers at frame 180 with SHA-256, and
confirmed `run1 == run2` for every single one. Exact-pixel diffs
are safe for this ROM set.

Negative path verification: I corrupted one golden (flipped one
pixel to pure red via pngjs) and reran the runner. It printed

    DIFF  hello_sprite  1/61440 pixels differ; first at (120,120)
                        expected [255,0,0] got [0,0,0]
            actual: tests/emulator/actual/hello_sprite.png
              diff: tests/emulator/actual/hello_sprite.diff.png

and exited 1 as expected. The diff PNG shows a dim-grayscale
silhouette of the expected frame with a bright-red dot on the
one mismatched pixel — enough visual context to locate the
regression at a glance.

All 18 examples match their goldens in strict mode. `cargo fmt
--check`, `cargo clippy --release --all-targets -- -D warnings`,
and `cargo test --release` (313 unit + 37 integration) are all
still green.

examples: 4 new programs covering MMC3 + other e2e gaps
Four new examples bring total coverage to 18/18 ROMs through
the jsnes smoke test:

- mmc3_per_state_split.ne — two states, each with their own
  `on scanline(N)` handler at a different line (80 vs 160).
  Pressing START transitions between them. Verifies the
  per-state MMC3 IRQ dispatch: the `__ir_mmc3_reload` helper
  CMPs `current_state` on every NMI and writes the right
  latch value to `$C000`/`$C001`, and `__irq_user` runs the
  current state's handler when the counter fires. This is
  the first example that exercises the per-state reload logic
  at runtime, not just at compile-time.

- two_player.ne — exercises `p2.button.*` reads alongside
  the default (P1) `button.*`. Two independently-moveable
  sprites sharing a single frame handler and the runtime OAM
  cursor. The runtime's NMI controller poll already reads
  both `$4016` and `$4017`, but until this example no
  runtime test actually looked at `$08` (the P2 input byte).

- function_chain.ne — five-deep user-function call chain
  (`frame -> compute -> scale -> clamp -> fold -> taper`)
  with parameter passing through ZP `$04-$07` and return
  values through A. Early returns inside nested `if`s,
  handler-local result var, mixed shift + additive transforms.
  Catches any regression in: JSR stack discipline, param slot
  layout, RTS stack unwinding, return-value flow, or the
  analyzer's call-graph / max-depth computation.

- comparisons.ne — one `if` per comparison operator
  (`==`, `!=`, `<`, `<=`, `>`, `>=`) gated on a u8 ramping
  through 0..255. Each `if` drives a pip sprite at a fixed
  column. Exercises every `CmpKind::*` case in the IR
  codegen's `gen_cmp`, catching regressions in branch-opcode
  selection (BEQ/BNE/BCC/BCS) and inverted-branch peephole
  folding.

Smoke test deltas (all 18/18 pass, with per-example floors):

    comparisons           208  (floor 150)
    function_chain        104  (floor 100)
    mmc3_per_state_split  104  (floor 80)
    two_player            104  (floor 100)

`tests/emulator/run_examples.mjs` gets new `EXAMPLE_FLOORS`
entries for each, with notes describing the expected content
so a regression prints a helpful reason.

cargo test (313 unit + 37 integration), cargo fmt --check,
cargo clippy --release -- -D warnings all clean.

Bug B: runtime OAM cursor so draw inside loops actually works
`IrCodeGen::next_oam_slot` incremented at *compile time*: one
`draw` statement = one fixed OAM slot, baked into absolute-mode
stores at codegen. A `draw` inside a `while`/`for`/`loop` body
was lowered once and then always wrote to the same four OAM
bytes every iteration, so only the last iteration was ever
visible. The writeup in the earlier PR called this "bug B".

Fix: reserve ZP `$09` as `ZP_OAM_CURSOR`, reset it to 0 at the
top of every frame handler (right after the existing OAM clear
loop), and lower each `DrawSprite` IR op to:

    LDY $09               ; load cursor
    LDA <y_temp>
    STA $0200,Y           ; sprite Y
    LDA #tile
    STA $0201,Y           ; tile
    LDA #0
    STA $0202,Y           ; attr
    LDA <x_temp>
    STA $0203,Y           ; sprite X
    INC $09 x4            ; bump cursor by 4

Cost is ~+6 bytes per `draw` over the old static form. At 64
slots the u8 cursor wraps naturally, giving classic NES
"too many sprites" flicker instead of a silent compile-time
drop. `next_oam_slot` and its resets are gone from the IR
codegen entirely.

Secondary fix: `for i in 0..N` counters are now registered as
handler locals. `lower_statement` created a `VarId` for the
counter via `get_or_create_var` but never pushed it onto
`current_locals`, so the IR codegen's `var_addrs` lookup
returned `None` for every `StoreVar(i)` / `LoadVar(i)` and
silently emitted nothing. The counter stayed at 0 forever,
the loop spun indefinitely, and every iteration wrote the
first array element into OAM — turning all 64 sprites into
the same smiley. Same class as the handler-local `var` decl
bug from the earlier PR, just for for-loop variables.

Smoke-test deltas (all 14/14 still pass):
- arrays_and_functions: 104 -> 260  (player + 4 enemies)
- bitwise_ops:          104 -> 416  (player + flag sprites + pips)
- loop_break_continue:  208 -> 208  (already fixed by the earlier pass)
- structs_enums_for:    104 -> 260  (player + 4 enemies)

Regression tests:
- `ir_codegen::more_tests::ir_codegen_draw_sprite` — checks a
  single `draw` emits `LDY cursor`, four `STA $020N,Y`, and
  four `INC cursor`.
- `ir_codegen::more_tests::ir_codegen_multi_oam_uses_sequential_slots`
  — rewritten for the new form: each draw gets its own
  `LDY cursor` + 4 `INC cursor`.
- `ir_codegen::more_tests::ir_codegen_draw_in_loop_...` —
  proves a `draw` inside a `while` compiles to ONE cursor-based
  draw (not N unrolled statics and not zero), and asserts no
  stray `STA $0204`/`$0208`/... absolute stores — those would
  indicate bug B has regressed.
- `ir::tests::for_loop_counter_is_registered_as_handler_local`
  — verifies `for i in 0..N` pushes `i` onto `current_locals`
  so the IR codegen allocates it.

Smoke-test tightening: `tests/emulator/run_examples.mjs` now
has per-example `minNonBlack` floors. `arrays_and_functions`,
`structs_enums_for`, `loop_break_continue`, and `bitwise_ops`
all require multi-sprite rendering — if the OAM cursor bug
comes back, the smoke test fails loudly instead of passing on
the default `nonBlack > 0` check.

The legacy AST codegen in `src/codegen/mod.rs` still uses the
compile-time `next_oam_slot` approach. It's only reachable via
`--use-ast`, none of the examples use it, and its integration
tests only check iNES structure — left alone on purpose.

Add jsnes emulator harness and fix four codegen bugs it surfaced
Running the compiled example ROMs through a headless puppeteer +
local jsnes harness exposed four latent bugs that the
header-structure-only integration tests couldn't catch:

- src/asm/mod.rs: the first pass treated ANY instruction with
  `AddressingMode::Label` as a label definition, silently dropping
  every `JMP`/`JSR` to a label. Now only `NOP + Label` is a label
  def; other opcodes emit the opcode byte plus a 2-byte absolute
  fixup resolved in pass two. Without this, every example crashed
  with "invalid opcode at $1xxx" once the CPU fell through into
  the math runtime and hit an unbalanced `RTS`.

- src/ir/lowering.rs (lower_handler): handler-local `VarDecl`s
  (e.g. `var i: u8 = 0` inside a `while`) were pushed onto
  `current_locals` but the handler built its own throwaway
  `locals` list, so those var ids never got RAM addresses and
  every `LoadVar`/`StoreVar` for them silently emitted nothing.
  Seed `current_locals` with the state's declared locals and
  reuse it so `lower_statement`'s appends flow through to the
  `IrFunction`. Fixes the black screen in `arrays_and_functions`.

- src/ir/lowering.rs (global init): struct-literal initializers
  on globals (`var player: Player = Player { x: 120, ... }`) fell
  through to `eval_const`, which returned `None` for a
  non-literal, so no init code was emitted. Now the per-field
  synthetic globals each get their own `init_value`. Fixes the
  black screen in `structs_enums_for`.

- src/codegen/mod.rs: the legacy AST codegen was emitting
  `JSR __fn_poke` / treating `peek` as `LDA #0` for the hardware
  intrinsics. It only "worked" before because the broken
  assembler swallowed the bogus JSR. Handle `poke`/`peek` as
  direct STA/LDA to a compile-time-constant absolute address,
  matching the IR codegen's intrinsic path.

The harness lives in `tests/emulator/`: a tiny HTML page that
wraps the `jsnes` npm package, driven by a puppeteer script that
loads each ROM, runs ~180 frames, snapshots the canvas, and
records a smoke-test verdict (booted without a CPU crash, non-zero
pixels rendered, frames differ over time). `npm install && node
run_examples.mjs` from `tests/emulator/` runs the full sweep.

9/9 example ROMs now load, render, and animate where expected.
All 324 unit + 35 integration tests still pass.
