-  /* ===== ORDEM-Z CANÔNICA — a faixa de OVERLAY do `core/layers.ts` (ADR-0020) =====
-     Estes valores são a MESMA fonte que o mundo usa em PIXI, trazida para o CSS. Eles existem antes do
-     primeiro consumidor DE PROPÓSITO, e o motivo é o mesmo que a Fase C deu ao barramento tipado: o contrato
-     precisa nascer certo em vez de ser retipado depois. `tests/z-order-css.node.test.js` compara este bloco,
-     valor a valor, com o `Z` do TypeScript — divergir fica vermelho.
-
-     ⚠️ NENHUM SELETOR AINDA OS USA, e isso NÃO é esquecimento. Adotá-los inverte três ordens que hoje valem,
-     e inverter ordem é decisão de produto:
-
-       · `.caption` (8) está ABAIXO de `#touch-controls` (14). Canonicamente CAPTIONS(26000) fica ACIMA de
-         TOUCH_CONTROLS(25000). A inversão CONSERTA um defeito — legenda é recurso de surdez, e controle de
-         toque cobrindo legenda é a coisa errada —, mas muda a tela.
-       · `.quiz` (12) está ABAIXO de `#touch-controls` (14); canonicamente DIALOGUE(27000) fica acima.
-       · `.skip-link` (100) está ACIMA dos modais (60). O comentário do `Z` põe o skip-link em CAPTIONS
-         (26000), o que o deixaria ABAIXO de MENU(30000) — e um "pular para o conteúdo" embaixo de um modal
-         não é alcançável. Aqui o comentário do `Z` é que está errado, não o CSS.
-
-     E DUAS COISAS NÃO TÊM SLOT: os dois pseudo-elementos do CRT (`crt-vig-1::before` em 5 e
-     `crt-scan-1::after` em 500). Pelo ADR-0020 o CRT é PÓS-PROCESSO, não camada — inventar um número para
-     ele repetiria o erro de categoria que a emenda de 2026-08-26 já registrou no `app.stage`.
-
-     ⚠️ E `z-index` de CSS NÃO É PLANO. `#game-hud` tem `z-index:4` e CRIA CONTEXTO DE EMPILHAMENTO, então o
-     `.screen-pause` (6) compete só lá dentro — o menu de pausa vive efetivamente em "4" na raiz. Uma lista
-     plana de valores globais não expressa isso. Adotar exige decidir, por elemento, em que contexto ele vive. */
+  /* ===== THE Z-ORDER SLOTS — the engine's canonical stacking order (ADR-0020, ADR-0102) =====
+     These `--z-*` variables are where the z-order lives now. They were born as the OVERLAY band of the `Z` table in
+     `core/layers.ts`; that table was the platformer's world order and left with the tile world (ADR-0228), so the
+     slots below are the only copy. `tests/the-skip-link-outranks-the-transition.node.test.js` holds what the engine
+     needs of them: the skip link sits on its slot, above the transition and every other slot except the loop-crash
+     notice and the debug panel, and no literal `z-index` in this file reaches it.
+
+     ⚠️ MOST SELECTORS STILL CARRY LITERALS, and that is not forgetfulness. Only `.skip-link`, `#incl-parou` and the
+     touch pad over an open panel read a slot. Adopting the slots everywhere inverts three orders that hold today, and
+     inverting an order is a product decision:
+
+       · `.caption` (8) is BELOW the touch pad (14). In the slots, captions (26000) are ABOVE touch controls (25000).
+         The inversion FIXES a defect — the caption serves deaf players, and a touch control covering it is the wrong
+         way round —, but it changes the screen.
+       · `.quiz` (12) is BELOW the touch pad (14); in the slots, dialogue (27000) is above.
+       · the skip link was already corrected: it sits on `--z-skip-link`, above the modals and the transition.
+
+     AND TWO THINGS HAVE NO SLOT: the two CRT pseudo-elements (`crt-vig-1::before` at 5 and `crt-scan-1::after` at
+     500). Under ADR-0020 the CRT is POST-PROCESSING, not a layer — inventing a number for it would repeat the category
+     error the record already names.
+
+     ⚠️ AND CSS `z-index` IS NOT FLAT. `#game-hud` has `z-index:4` and CREATES A STACKING CONTEXT, so `.screen-pause`
+     (6) competes only inside it — the pause menu effectively lives at "4" at the root. A flat list of global values
+     cannot express that. Adopting the slots means deciding, per element, which context it lives in. */

-   atravessando a tela. O anel do item 1 já estava certo no código (`nextTitleIndex` dá a volta) — era o

-   1. O VÉU FICA OPACO. É o que "alto contraste" quer dizer: sai o meio-tom, e com ele a dependência do que
-      está atrás. Sozinha, esta já leva tudo a AAA menos um caso.
-   2. O CURSOR INVERTE — fundo `--accent`, texto `--accent-ink`, 12,71:1. Escurecer o selecionado o
-      aproximaria do não-selecionado (`#1a2740`) e a criança PERDERIA O CURSOR; inverter resolve as duas
-      coisas de uma vez, e é o padrão de alto contraste de qualquer sistema operacional.
+   1. THE VEIL IS OPAQUE. That is what "high contrast" means: the half-tone goes, and with it the dependence on what is
+      behind. On its own this takes everything to AAA but one case.
+   2. THE CURSOR INVERTS — `--accent` background, `--accent-ink` text, 12.71:1. Darkening the selected item would bring
+      it closer to the unselected one (`#1a2740`) and the child would LOSE THE CURSOR; inverting solves both at once, and
+      it is the high-contrast pattern of every operating system.
