Robert Allan JamesandClaude Sonnet 5 e40134da0d Add capsules/turtle.4th, a limited LOGO-style turtle graphics demo capsule
First entry in the "cookbook" track: a demo capsule plus HOWTO, per the
sequencing laid out after the POST-coverage sweep. Built entirely in FORTH
on top of existing primitives -- fabric.4th's LINE (raster Bresenham) and
Q.SIN/Q.COS (Q48.16 trig), plus PLOT/FB-WIDTH/FB-HEIGHT -- no new C words.

FORWARD/BACK/LEFT/RIGHT/PENUP/PENDOWN/HOME/SETXY/SETHEADING/SETCOLOR give
the classic turtle model; POLYGON and STAR compose FORWARD+turn into simple
demo shapes; TURTLE-DEMO is a one-call visual smoke test. Not wired into
init.4th -- REPL-invoked only, matching the original idea's own scope.

Verified: mkcapsule --lint clean, hosted-build logic trace shows zero VM
errors and correct stack balance through the whole vocabulary, zero build
warnings and capsule loads cleanly on all three kernel architectures.
Visual pixel-level confirmation not yet done (needs an interactive
gtk-display session or driving past the ~25-30 min DoE-before-REPL wall),
documented as an open item in the HOWTO.
