The video recorder now writes render_capture_frame() instead of the raw
LCD framebuffer, so captures match what's shown: chrome frames record at
their larger dimensions (written into the .gbv header) and the LCD palette
is baked in. Button presses also show up lit in recordings.

Two socket features for building reproducible showcase clips:
- record start <path> [everyN] / record stop: append the RGB888 framebuffer of
each produced frame to a flat 'GBCV' capture file (downsample with everyN).
tools/gbgif.py turns it into a GIF (or PNG frames). Capture is decoupled from
wall-clock/turbo/frameskip, so timing is always correct.
- input play <path> [reset] / input stop: drive the joypad from a synthesized
TAS-style movie (text: '<frames> [buttons...]' per line), frame-locked so
replay is deterministic. 'reset' does an exact power-on (preserve cart
ROM+SRAM, zero all other state) so a movie replays byte-identically -- verified
by hashing two runs. tools/gbmovie.py is a Python builder for movies.

A client that connects and closes before reading (e.g. the HUD's liveness
probe) made the greeting write() raise SIGPIPE, terminating the whole emulator
- this was behind much of the 'it keeps dying' this session. Also: gbhud now
re-resolves the live instance from the registry on every reconnect (skipping
stale sockets by test-connecting), so the HUD follows respawns, and its box
rendering is ANSI-width-correct.

Replace the input-only FIFO's limitations with a Unix-domain socket control
channel (--sock) that is a superset of the button vocabulary plus emulator
introspection: read/write bus memory, get/set CPU context, single-step, PC
breakpoints, value-change watchpoints, run/pause. Being a socket it replies to
each command and broadcasts async 'event stop ...' lines; a stored last-stop
record (stopinfo) lets per-request clients recover a missed event.
Add gbctl: a stdlib-python CLI that spawns a tmux pane running the emulator on
a ROM, auto-resolves the socket, and drives it with terse verbs (cpu/read/write/
reg/step/break/watch/continue/pause/press/hold/screen/stop). The FIFO stays as
legacy input-only.
