Addresses the 'doors, windows, and alpha-keyed parts render bright
pink' issue the user observed after the Phase 2a visual checkpoint.
SurfaceDecoder gains a second overload taking an optional Palette
parameter. When the render surface format is PFID_INDEX16 and a
palette is supplied, each 16-bit value in SourceData is treated as
an index into Palette.Colors (a List<ColorARGB>) and the corresponding
ARGB color's channels are written to the output buffer. The original
no-palette overload is preserved so the Task 3 unit tests that
confirm INDEX16 -> magenta fallback still describe their behavior
correctly (INDEX16 without a palette still returns magenta).
TextureCache now resolves the RenderSurface's DefaultPaletteId via
the dats and passes the resulting Palette (or null) to the decoder.
mesh.frag adds an alpha cutout: fragments with sampled alpha < 0.5
are discarded. Without this, transparent regions of alpha-keyed
textures (doors, windows, foliage cutouts) would render as opaque
rectangles using the texture's background color. This is the
standard alpha-tested approach, simpler than full alpha blending
and matches how AC's original client rendered these surfaces.

Phase 1 simplified per-vertex height as byte * 2.0f, but AC stores
heights as byte indices into a 256-entry non-linear float lookup
(Region.LandDefs.LandHeightTable). Static object placements in
LandBlockInfo use the real table, so terrain rendered with the
simplified scale left buildings floating or buried.
LandblockMesh.Build now takes an explicit float[] heightTable so
the core code stays testable without a DatCollection. GameWindow
loads Region id 0x13000000 once at startup and passes its
LandDefs.LandHeightTable into every landblock mesh build. The
Phase 1 tests use an identity table (i * 2f for i in 0..255) so
their expectations remain unchanged.
Addresses the 'buildings buried and floating' issue the user
observed after the Phase 2a visual checkpoint.

Pure CPU mesh generator: takes a DatReaderWriter LandBlock DBObj and
produces 81 vertices + 128 triangles covering 192x192 world units.
Vertices are a readonly record struct (position, normal, texcoord)
so the upcoming GPU upload in Task 8 can sizeof() them directly.
Height byte -> world z uses a simple 2x scale; the real AC height
lookup table is a Phase 2+ concern.

Addresses code quality review of a7f0732:
- LoadedPlugin now holds the AssemblyLoadContext explicitly so Task 10
can call Unload() for hot reload (Critical)
- LoadedPlugin.Error is Exception? to match PluginDiscoveryResult and
preserve stack traces; synthetic failures build FileNotFoundException
and InvalidOperationException (Important)
- PluginLoader falls back to ReflectionTypeLoadException.Types if
GetTypes() can't fully resolve (Important)
- Hardcoded abstractions assembly name is now a const (Minor)
Addresses code quality review of 9161868:
- PluginDiscoveryResult.Error is now Exception? rather than string?,
preserving stack traces across the plugin boundary for logging
- PluginDiscovery.Scan orders subdirectories by ordinal string comparison
so plugin load order is reproducible across platforms
Addresses code quality review of c082ecf:
- Require takes a literal JSON field name, no more fragile PascalCase->camelCase transform
- Parse_MissingRequiredField_Throws asserts exact message, not substring
- Remove unused using System.Text.Json.Serialization
