BATTLE_FIGHTER_DAMAGE/BATTLE_FIGHTER_HEAL let a move's own cutscene
apply damage/healing to "target" or "user", resolved from
BATTLE_FIGHTER_POS_TARGET/USER sentinels against the current action by
battleStateExecutingInit. fire/slash now call BATTLE_FIGHTER_DAMAGE on
their target.
BATTLE_POST_MOVE checks fighter health after each move and sets
BATTLE.result (now a real field, previously commented out) to
win/loss, transitioning into BATTLE_STATE_WON/LOST; fleeing sets
BATTLE_RESULT_FLED. All three end states now show a textbox before
moving on to BATTLE_STATE_ENDING.

Each queued action now resolves to its move's cutscene
(cutscenes/battle/moves/<name>.jsonc), spliced into the executing state
with a BATTLE_POST_MOVE checkpoint after each one. Fighter turn order is
tracked via fighterOrder/fighterOrderCount, and resolved actions/pending
counts are cleared so fighters aren't skipped in later rounds. Also fixes
a BATTLE_WAIT_SELECTION deadlock and adds an optional "blocking" flag to
MODAL cutscene items.

Adds BATTLE_START, BATTLE_SET_STATE and BATTLE_WAIT_SELECTION cutscene
items so a battle's state transitions (opening -> pre-round -> selection
-> executing) are chained through the running cutscene, with
cutsceneSystemInsertItemsNext/InsertItems splitting "splice" from
"splice and advance immediately". Adds battlestateselection's
get-current-fighter/player-attack/player-flee API backing the battle UI,
and battleMoveGetIdByName for JSON-authored ability lookups.
Fixes: off-by-one in battleMoveInit that let the first-defined move
alias BATTLE_MOVE_ID_NULL; a segfault in scenebattle.c from rendering
unfilled (NULL) fighter slots; stale battleGetCurrentFighter/
battlePlayerAttack/battlePlayerFlee references in the battle UI.
Adds assertions across the battle/scene/UI code for fighter-index
bounds and non-null invariants. Updates battletest.jsonc for the new
BATTLE_START item schema.

cutsceneCutsceneResolve/cutsceneInsertResolveAndSplice no longer inject
a "cutscenes/%s.jsonc" prefix/suffix around an item's "name" field -
matching cutsceneSystemLoad, which already takes a full path. Fixes a
latent double-prefix bug in initial.jsonc's CUTSCENE reference (also had
a "jsonsc" typo) that this change would otherwise have exposed.

Party moves off a global singleton onto each save slot, letting
START_BATTLE pick specific active-order members to bring into a fight,
and round-trips through save/load via saveslotver1. A corrupt slot load
now flags the cache and shows a red "Corrupted Save" warning in the
select-save UI instead of silently resetting.

The SAVE_DEVICE_FOUND/SAVE_LOAD_ALL_SLOTS block had been moved to the
end of the file (after QUIT/QUIT_GAME) without moving the LOADED
marker with it. MARKER items always auto-advance to whatever follows
them in the array, so reaching LOADED after a successful save-load fell
straight through into the QUIT block's confirm dialog instead of
completing the cutscene. LOADED now sits after SAVE_LOAD_ALL_SLOTS as
the true last item, so it falls off the end and fires
uiMainMenuOpenSelectSave again as intended.

Options and Quit now route through main_menu.jsonc markers the same
way New Game does, with a new QUIT_GAME cutscene item type ending the
process directly once quit is confirmed via MODAL_OPTIONS_MARKERS
(whose "message" field is now optional, defaulting to "" like "title").
Fixes two crashes surfaced along the way:
- uiModalLocalize asserted on an empty locale key instead of treating
it as "nothing to show" - hit as soon as a modal omitted a title or
message.
- assetLocaleGetString's new empty-message-ID guard broke the PO
format's own header-read convention (messageId "") used internally
by assetLocaleLoaderAsync, crashing on every boot. Extracted the
shared lookup into assetLocaleGetStringLookup and added a dedicated
assetLocaleGetHeader for that internal read, leaving
assetLocaleGetString's validation untouched for every real caller.
Also replaced every raw assetLocaleGetString/WithVA call across the UI
with the locale/localemanager.h helpers (adding localeManagerGetString
for the plain, non-formatting case), so app code no longer bypasses
them.

Cutscenes now parse their authored .jsonc straight into the runtime
cutsceneitem_t/pool representation via yyjson, instead of going through a
separate Python-compiled DCTS binary format - removes the whole
build/compile step and the byte-format contract between the Python
encoder and the C decoder, at the cost of a (still tiny, one-time)
parse per cutscene load.
Also fixes dusk.dsk going stale after a build: the old custom_command
depended on a CMake-configure-time file glob, which only re-detects
added/removed assets on the next configure and could miss edits
entirely. tools.asset.pack now always runs and decides for itself
(via a small manifest) whether anything actually needs repacking, so
asset changes are never missed regardless of add/edit/remove.

Previously the main menu UI opened directly with no cutscene, and only
pressing "Start Game" spun up a brand new cutscene
(main_menu_start_game.jsonc) for the save-device check/load-slots flow.
Now a single cutscene (main_menu.jsonc) starts the moment the main menu
scene becomes active, sitting idle (new CUTSCENE_ITEM_TYPE_IDLE item -
no existing item type blocked forever with no side effect) while the
menu is shown, so it can own menu-wide state going forward.
Pressing "Start Game" now jumps the already-running cutscene to a
NEW_GAME marker via cutsceneGoTo instead of starting a second cutscene -
this already-existing mechanism needed no engine changes. Both retry
options (no device / load error) also now jump straight back to
NEW_GAME instead of RESTARTing the whole cutscene, since RESTART would
otherwise strand the player on the idle block. sceneMainMenuStartGame
also handles the case where the cutscene already ran to completion once
(e.g. backing out of the save picker and pressing Start Game again) by
restarting it landing straight on NEW_GAME, avoiding a crash from
jumping a marker with no cutscene running.
Built and verified on Linux (boots/idles without crashing, cutscene
tests pass), PSP, GameCube and Wii (Docker).

New ASSET_LOADER_TYPE_CUTSCENE (assetcutsceneloader.c) reads a versioned
binary .cts format decoded into a heap-allocated cutsceneitem_t array + a
string/data pool, both sized to the file's actual content rather than a
fixed capacity, so the shared assetloaderoutput_t union doesn't bloat for
every asset slot regardless of type. Authoring pipeline mirrors the chunk
asset pattern: assetsraw/cutscenes/*.jsonc (JSON plus // and /* */
comments) -> tools/asset/cutscene -> assets/cutscenes/*.cts.
cutsceneSystemSetOnComplete() lets the caller arm a native callback that
fires when a cutscene finishes normally, so a file (which can't store a
function pointer) can end plainly and still hand off to native code -
cutsceneRestart() preserves it across a retry loop rather than clearing it,
since a restart is the same logical run trying again.
The initial and main-menu start-game cutscenes are now loaded from files
instead of compiled in via the CUTSCENE(...) macro.
Fixed a real bug found while converting these: the sync loader read the
file's total size from assetfile_t.size to locate the trailing pool
region, but assetFileDispose() (called at the end of the async phase)
zeroes that whole struct first, so the size was always 0 and the pool
offset computation underflowed into an out-of-bounds read - intermittent
depending on heap layout. Fixed by saving the size before disposal; also
fixed the read-completeness assert being checked after that same zeroing
(a no-op 0 == 0 check).
