reala-misaki 65112b9305 Session 1: hardware research, content measurement, codec decision, MAME harness
Verified GVRAM is one word-access per pixel in ALL color modes; chose 256-color
256x192 with movem.l bursts (page 1 sacrificed as double-buffer).

Measured 8 scenes from the Blu-ray source: blit costs under 8% of the 12fps
cycle budget, so I/O is the bottleneck, not CPU. Naive delta+RLE reaches only
3.2:1 (365 KB/s, 470MB) -> decision to use 4x4 vector quantization (~30 KB/s).

"Shot on twos" assumption failed: the transfer has zero duplicate frames, so
12fps requires explicit decimation.

Documents three false measurement results and their root causes (per-frame
Floyd-Steinberg dithering, temporal denoise, exact-match dedupe on noisy source).

MAME Lua injection harness works and is reusable for cycle-cost measurement;
the IOCS _B_READ disk benchmark is blocked returning -1.
