- build_cjk.py: 2048x1024 UI atlas (original ASCII at 0,0 + full GB2312 at 12px) and cjk_glyph/cjk_metric tables. - cn_strings.py + make_cn_strings.py: escape-aware GB2312 rewrite of Strings.dat (46 entries). - install_cjk.py: one-shot deploy/restore (exe patch, atlas loose+res, strings). - apply_cjk.py: fix metrics cave code byte order (was (second<<8)|first) so CJK width measures correctly and centred labels are no longer flushed right. - docs: DEVLOG + patch notes for the atlas and the fix.
