-Directional PNG tiles use only `left`/`top` positioning, no transforms or new
-art assets. Wrapped neighbors are normalized before classifying seam textures.
-Food placement takes at most 256 cell checks, including a nearly full board.
-The HUD, footer, board and overlay fit the circular chord numerically with

+Directional PNG tiles use only `left`/`top` positioning, no transforms. Existing
+20px sprite art is nearest-neighbor enlarged to native 32px assets (crisp pixel
+art, not new high-resolution detail). The board is a newly generated circular
+PNG with transparent corners and a subtle legal-cell checker pattern. Wrapped
+texture connections handle each varying row/column length. All rows/columns
+have at least three cells, avoiding ambiguous one-/two-cell seams.
+Food scans only 89 legal cells, including a nearly full board. HUD/footer
