type-two 0e2523a8a9 Police Squad Quest: research, design bible, and Case One playable
A Sierra-style adventure in the Police Squad!/Naked Gun universe, on MRPGI —
which reimplements AGI, the engine Sierra shipped Police Quest on.

The premise: Police Quest's pedantic procedure x Police Squad!'s farce. The
game grades you on correct procedure with a straight face, and the reward for
perfect procedure is catastrophe anyway. Per John, the famous Police Quest II
bugs are shipped deliberately as canon gags.

- RESEARCH.md — all six Police Squad! episodes, all four films (incl. Neeson's
  Frank Drebin Jr, 2025), the recurring cast, and the ZAZ comedy grammar.
- DESIGN.md — the joke engine, the two Drebins across three eras (Drebin Sr's
  1982 cases render in a monochrome EGA subset for the 1950s M Squad look),
  an eleven-case campaign, and the PQ2 glitch-to-feature table.
- cases/case-01-substantial-gift — playable. Five rooms, 100 points, full win
  path verified headlessly at 95/100 plus four authored Sierra deaths.
  Procedure gates, dusting for latents, and Miranda rights in the correct
  order are all pure JSON; no engine features were invented for it.
- tools/sprites.py — all 24 sprites generated locally on MODELBEAST
  (flux_local -> bg_remove_local -> trim/downscale), reproducible by seed.
