build / build (push) Successful in 30s
Introduces watch/, a real Pebble watchapp (built via pebble build) that
shows the daily tarot/astrology reading on-device: persistence, reading
computation, and UI screens, driven by the existing engine/interpreter
code linked in unchanged where possible.

Required engine-side changes to make that linking work:
- A compact low-precision ephemeris (lowprec_ephemeris.c) replacing the
  vendored ~127KB Astronomy Engine, which doesn't fit the watch's ~64KB
  app budget.
- Hand-rolled sqrt/atan2/sin/cos replacements for that ephemeris and
  astro.c's Ascendant calculation - Pebble's statically-linked libm
  hard-faults on real hardware under this app's -fPIE link for all four.
- narrative.c/guidance.c refactored from FILE*/fprintf onto snprintf-
  based buffers, since Pebble's SDK blocks fprintf at compile time.

Deck in a Dash - Pebble watch app

The actual watchapp: shows the same daily tarot + astrology reading as dist/run-interpreter.sh, computed entirely on-device (no companion app, no server - birth data, language, and notification settings are entered via a Pebble config page and persisted on-watch).

Layout

watch/
  package.json     Pebble app manifest (uuid, targetPlatforms, messageKeys, resources)
  wscript           waf build rules - see its own top-of-file comment for
                    why this app's C sources are NOT a plain src/c/**/*.c
                    glob (most of the actual logic lives in ../engine/src/,
                    shared byte-for-byte with the desktop deck-engine/
                    interpreter-cli binaries)
  src/c/            Watch-only C: UI, persisted config, on-device reading
                    orchestration, daily notification wakeup
  src/pkjs/         pkjs config webview (birth data/language/notification
                    settings) - a self-contained `data:` URI form, no
                    server
  resources/        Bitmap resources (card art, app icon) - resources/img/
                    is generated (gitignored), see below
  scripts/          Build-time codegen: gen_i18n_tables.py (translation
                    tables from ../engine/i18n/*.lang) and
                    gen_card_images.py (downsized card art from
                    ../res/img/*.jpeg) - both run automatically by
                    wscript on every `pebble build` (see its own comment
                    for why that stays cheap on repeat builds)

Building

Requires the Pebble SDK/tool (pebble CLI) and Pillow (pip install Pillow, used only by gen_card_images.py) - neither is part of this repo's own make/make test toolchain, which only builds the desktop deck-engine/interpreter-cli binaries. From this directory:

pebble build     # -> build/watch.pbw

The root Makefile's make watchapp target wraps this and copies the resulting .pbw into dist/, versioned the same way as make package - see the root CLAUDE.md's "Packaging" section.

Platform support

targetPlatforms deliberately excludes aplite (original Pebble / Pebble Steel). A Pebble app's entire code+data+bss footprint shares one 64KB region on basalt-class platforms, but only 24KB on aplite - and even this project's minimal skeleton (blank window + one reading_generate() call, no UI/config/persistence/notification code yet) already uses 19KB of it, leaving only ~5.5KB of headroom. That's not enough room for the multi-screen UI, on-watch config persistence, and wakeup-based daily notification this app still needs to add - basalt and newer (chalk/diorite/emery/flint/gabbro) all have comfortable 46-112KB of free heap for the same skeleton.
