Megadev localization

Start with the game's existing catalogs, languages, fonts and renderer. Preserve its creative direction. Language Lab's harbor desk, portrait, colors, font, controls and wording illustrate techniques; they are not defaults for a game.

• Read Catalogs and encoding for message/language IDs, UTF-8 authoring, normalization, substitutions, plurals and fallback.
• Read Fonts and memory for native accents, atlas/glyph budgets and the additional Main RAM cost of resident Mega CD resources.
• Read Layout and validation for translated expansion, paging, name/number limits, atomic language changes and evidence boundaries.

Megadev exposes VDP and BIOS facilities, not a Unicode decoder or localization framework. Inspect the selected ewrogers/megadev:latest source before using an API. Do not copy SGDK text/resource functions or assume BIOS printing performs UTF-8 decoding, shaping, glyph fallback or wrapping.
