+// shell stderr IS the screen — those land on top of the rendered grid, and in

+// scopes get through, because their messages carry detail the error returns
+// don't (gui's SDL_GetError strings, dump's zon parse diagnostic) — .default
+// is NOT one of them, ghostty and uucode both log unscoped. Set PARDES_LOG to
