- WIT `input`: claim-items(ids) makes the use button on those items the
mod's: use-start, then use-stop with the ticks held (button up, item
out of the hand, or a screen opening); the game does nothing else
with the click. register-key(name, label, key) for up to 16 keys
(key.keyboard.r), heard as key-down / key-up while playing; the
game's own mapping on the key still runs. held(), poll() (256 kept).
- game/mod_input.rs: play_mouse asks mod_use first (local and remote
windows), the tick ends a use whose item left the hand, the keyboard
and horizon-ctl's key send the physical key to mod_key.
- No claim and no key, no cost: one check each.
- Experimental: the manifest needs experimental = ["input"].
- The ui test guest gains /input_claim, /input_poll and /input_held,
with a sandbox test. Docs: mods.md, stability.md, the changelog, the
regenerated reference.

Mods draw through the game's own renderer, never their own shaders:
- WIT `render`: set-hud(shapes) with fill, quad (any four corners),
sprite (the game's GUI sprites), item (scaled) and text shapes, up
to 1024, kept until replaced; gui-size(); shake(strength, seconds).
- Drawn over the HUD after the extras, under chat and screens, hidden
with F1 (game/mod_render.rs). Colours are 0xAARRGGBB.
- shake turns the view, not the player: jolts fade out squared, add up
to 1, at most 3 degrees of yaw and 2 of pitch, scaled by Distortion
Effects (screenEffectScale; 0 turns it off).
- Experimental: the manifest needs experimental = ["render"].
- No mod drawing, no cost: an empty iterator and an is_empty check.
- cargo horizon-mod check reports shakes and HUD shapes. The ui test
guest gains /render_hud, /render_clear and /render_shake, with a
sandbox test; HudBatch gets fill_quad.
- Docs: mods.md, stability.md, the changelog, the regenerated reference.

docs/api/stability.md: a new API starts experimental, usable only by
opting in with a manifest field naming it. Capability ui now needs
experimental = ["ui"] beside capabilities; without it the manifest is
refused with that line to add. A capability promoted later stays
accepted in the list, so such manifests keep loading.
The ui test guest opts in; stability.md gets ui's row; docs/mods.md
shows the key.

docs/api/mods.md gets "Ways in": one API (the WIT world) and one sandbox
(WebAssembly) for every language. Rust is first-class; Lua scripts are
planned, run by an interpreter that is itself a WebAssembly mod linked with
the script's capabilities only, with hot reload of the script; C, C++, Zig,
TinyGo, AssemblyScript and JavaScript/TypeScript are to be evaluated, each
listed with its cost measured against Rust.
Server mods are their own line (api 0.3); block entities are no longer
tied to a draft. Promotion to stable: the orchestrator proposes with the
evidence, Ludovic approves.

docs/api/ gets one page per surface other programs build on (mods,
shaders, agent control, servers, the launcher, data formats), each with an
overview measured from the source, the guide, the generated reference, examples,
its stability, what is not there yet and a changelog, plus the policy every
API follows (docs/api/stability.md): a version per API, semver lines,
experimental / preview / stable, deprecation windows, compatibility tests and
the level of every part today.
The website gets a "Build on Horizon" page (website/docs/apis.md) that
summarises them and links the repository's pages.
