//! The PNG cartridge format.
//!
//! A Pixel8 cart is a real PNG image — the picture *is* the cartridge,
//! complete with label art — with the game embedded in a private ancillary
//! chunk. Any image viewer shows the cart; Pixel8 plays it.
//!
//! Chunk layout (see docs/CART_FORMAT.md for the full story):
//!
//! ```text
//! PNG signature
//! IHDR, IDAT*, ...      # ordinary PNG image: the cart label art
//! pxRt                  # Pixel8 payload chunk:
//!   "PIXEL8"             #   magic
//!   u16 LE version      #   cartridge format version (currently 1)
//!   deflate( json( Cart ) )
//! IEND
//! ```
//!
//! `Cart` always carries the compiled `game.wasm` and the full
//! asset bundle; carts exported as *editable* also carry the Rust source.
