Barbadillo Modules

Rights review pending. This local clean-room study uses new module geometry and ships no scan, traced coordinates, or translation code.

Documented mechanism: Square modules form an alphabet through polarity, rotation, inversion, fused neighbors, and asterisk candidate comparison.
Interpretation: These four shapes, edge signatures, scores, symmetries, and wall layouts are clean-room.
Supermega: Seeded replay, one-module mode, macro bias, clean print, and fixed export are Supermega.
