Robert Allan JamesandClaude Sonnet 5 c92be2768f FABRIC.md item 4.4t: confine REPL text rendering to the CANVAS box
vt100's TTF-mode text grid now operates within the per-arch 640x480 box
(computed in 4.4o, pixel-verified in 4.4p) instead of the full framebuffer:
box-origin offset in px_of()/py_of(), box-derived cols/rows (53x20) set
before the 4.4q scrollback allocation depends on them, mode-aware
erase_display()/reverse-index fill, and a new box-scoped fb_scroll_rect()
alongside the existing whole-framebuffer fb_scroll_rows() (bitmap/boot mode
unaffected either way). Also clears the full framebuffer once at the
bitmap-to-TTF switch so leftover boot debris doesn't sit frozen outside the
box now that erase_display(2) is box-scoped afterward.

Three-arch QEMU boot + pixel-scanned screendumps confirm zero non-background
pixels land outside the box on amd64, aarch64, and riscv64.

Robert Allan James ab96ac0970 starkernel: item 4.3.1 -- framebuffer orientation test, found and fixed a real color-swap bug
Adds fb_draw_orientation_test() (framebuffer.c/.h): fills the four raster
corners RED/GREEN/BLUE/YELLOW via fb_fill_rect. Wired into kernel_main.c
calling fb_init() directly -- console_fb_init()/vt100_init() removed from
the boot path, since vt100.c/console.c are superseded by the Console
drawing-fabric redesign (FABRIC.md ss27) and should not be exercised even
incidentally.

The diagnostic caught a real, pre-existing bug on its first run: framebuffer.c's
pack_pixel() had its FB_PIXEL_RGBX32/FB_PIXEL_BGRX32 branches swapped relative
to UEFI GOP's own byte-order naming convention, producing a clean R<->B channel
swap (G unaffected). Spatial placement was already correct -- no flip/rotation.
Fixed by swapping pack_pixel's two return bodies to match framebuffer.h's
already-correct doc comments; kernel_main.c's GOP-format switch needed no change.

Also item 4.3.2 -- QEMU screenshot capability. scripts/qemu_screenshot.sh
already existed (monitor socket + socat + HMP screendump), just unwired and
unused this session. Redirected its PNG output to a new top-level fb/
directory (tracked in git, not logs/, not a gitignored temp dir) and added a
python3+PIL fallback for PPM->PNG conversion since imagemagick isn't
installed here. Left as a standalone script for now, not wired into a
Makefile target.

FABRIC.md items 4.3.1 and 4.3.2 marked done with acceptance evidence.
