- Add `layers` dict parameter to Grid constructor for explicit layer definitions
- `layers={"ground": "color", "terrain": "tile"}` creates named layers
- `layers={}` creates empty grid (entities + pathfinding only)
- Default creates single TileLayer named "tilesprite" for backward compat
- Implement dynamic GridPoint property access via layer names
- `grid.at(x,y).layer_name = value` routes to corresponding layer
- Protected names (walkable, transparent, etc.) still use GridPoint
- Remove base layer rendering from UIGrid::render()
- Layers are now the sole source of grid rendering
- Old chunk_manager remains for GridPoint data access
- FOV overlay unchanged
- Update test to use explicit `layers={}` parameter

Adds a sub-grid system where grids larger than 64x64 cells are automatically
divided into 64x64 chunks, each with its own RenderTexture for incremental
rendering. This significantly improves performance for large grids by:
- Only re-rendering dirty chunks when cells are modified
- Caching rendered chunk textures between frames
- Viewport culling at the chunk level (skip invisible chunks entirely)
Implementation details:
- GridChunk class manages individual 64x64 cell regions with dirty tracking
- ChunkManager organizes chunks and routes cell access appropriately
- UIGrid::at() method transparently routes through chunks for large grids
- UIGrid::render() uses chunk-based blitting for large grids
- Compile-time CHUNK_SIZE (64) and CHUNK_THRESHOLD (64) constants
- Small grids (<= 64x64) continue to use flat storage (no regression)
Benchmark results show ~2x improvement in base layer render time for 100x100
grids (0.45ms -> 0.22ms) due to chunk caching.
Note: Dynamic layers (#147) still use full-grid textures; extending chunk
system to layers is tracked separately as #150.

Implement per-layer dirty tracking and RenderTexture caching for
ColorLayer and TileLayer. Each layer now maintains its own cached
texture and only re-renders when content changes.
Key changes:
- Add dirty flag, cached_texture, and cached_sprite to GridLayer base
- Implement renderToTexture() for both ColorLayer and TileLayer
- Mark layers dirty on: set(), fill(), resize(), texture change
- Viewport changes (center/zoom) just blit cached texture portion
- Fallback to direct rendering if texture creation fails
- Add regression test with performance benchmarks
Expected performance improvement: Static layers render once, then
viewport panning/zooming only requires texture blitting instead of
re-rendering all cells.

Implements ColorLayer and TileLayer classes with z_index ordering:
- ColorLayer: stores RGBA color per cell for overlays, fog of war, etc.
- TileLayer: stores sprite index per cell with optional texture
- z_index < 0: renders below entities
- z_index >= 0: renders above entities
Python API:
- grid.add_layer(type, z_index, texture) - create layer
- grid.remove_layer(layer) - remove layer
- grid.layers - list of layers sorted by z_index
- grid.layer(z_index) - get layer by z_index
- layer.at(x,y) / layer.set(x,y,value) - cell access
- layer.fill(value) - fill entire layer
Layers are allocated separately from UIGridPoint, reducing memory
for grids that don't need all features. Base grid retains walkable/
transparent arrays for TCOD pathfinding.

compute_fov() was iterating through the entire grid to build a Python
list of visible cells, causing O(grid_size) performance instead of
O(radius²). On a 1000×1000 grid this was 15.76ms vs 0.48ms.
The fix returns None instead - users should use is_in_fov() to query
visibility, which is the pattern already used by existing code.

Track actual work time separately from frame time to determine
system load percentage:
- work_time_ms: Time spent doing actual work before display()
- sleep_time = frame_time_ms - work_time_ms
This allows calculating load percentage:
load% = (work_time / frame_time) * 100
Example at 60fps with light load:
- frame_time: 16.67ms, work_time: 2ms

Breaking change: UICollection.remove() now takes a value (element) instead
of an index, matching Python's list.remove() behavior.
New methods added to both UICollection and EntityCollection:
- pop([index]) -> element: Remove and return element at index (default: last)
- insert(index, element): Insert element at position
Semantic fixes:
- remove(element): Now removes first occurrence of element (was: remove by index)
- All methods now have docstrings documenting behavior
Note on z_index sorting: The collections are sorted by z_index before each
render. Using index-based operations (pop, insert) with non-default z_index
values may produce unexpected results. Use name-based .find() for stable
element access when z_index sorting is in use.

Previously, `./mcrogueface --headless --exec <script>` would hang
indefinitely after the script completed because the game loop ran
continuously. This required external timeouts and explicit mcrfpy.exit()
calls in every automation script.
This commit adds automatic exit detection for headless+exec mode:
- Added `auto_exit_after_exec` flag to McRogueFaceConfig
- Set flag automatically when both --headless and --exec are present
- Game loop exits when no timers remain (timers.empty())
Benefits:
- Documentation generation scripts work without explicit exit calls
- Testing scripts don't need timeout wrappers
- Clean process termination for automation
- Backward compatible (scripts with mcrfpy.exit() continue working)

- src/McRogueFaceConfig.h: Add auto_exit_after_exec flag
- src/main.cpp: Set flag and recreate engine with modified config

Fixed module-level docstring in PyModuleDef where double-backslash newlines
(\\n) were appearing as literal "\n" text in help(mcrfpy) output.
Changed from escaped newlines (\\n) to actual newlines (\n) so the C compiler

Before: help(mcrfpy) showed "McRogueFace Python API\\n\\nCore game..."
After: help(mcrfpy) shows proper formatting with line breaks
The issue was in the PyDoc_STR() macro call - it doesn't interpret escape
sequences, so the string literal itself needs to have proper newlines.
Updated documentation guidelines to reflect the new macro-based system:
- Documented MCRF_METHOD and MCRF_PROPERTY usage
- Listed all available macros (MCRF_SIG, MCRF_DESC, MCRF_ARG, etc.)
- Added prose guidelines (concise C++, verbose external docs)
- Updated regeneration workflow (removed references to deleted scripts)

Removed references to obsolete hardcoded documentation scripts that were
deleted in previous commits.
