Abdessamad Derraz e13e8734b9 chore: standardize notes: to note: in file entries
240 file-level entries used notes: instead of the canonical note:
field. verify.py and cross_reference.py only read note:, so these
were silently ignored.

Fantasy computer for making, playing and sharing tiny games.
The libretro repo wraps nesbox/TIC-80 as a submodule; the libretro
wrapper (tic80_libretro.c) lives in the upstream repo itself.
Content loaded entirely via libretro data buffer (need_fullpath = false,
tic80_libretro.c:340). No call to RETRO_ENVIRONMENT_GET_SYSTEM_DIRECTORY.
No code path reads any file from the system directory. All VM resources
(sprites, palette, font, sound engine) are compiled into the binary.
TIC_MODULE_EXT (dynamic scripting plugins) is disabled in libretro
builds via #if !defined(__LIBRETRO__) in tic80_config.h:36.

cartridge_format:
extensions: "tic, png"
source_ref: "tic80_libretro.c:339"
note: |
.tic is the native cartridge format. .png loads cartridges
encoded as cover images (code stored in PNG metadata).
runtime:
source_ref: "nesbox/TIC-80 (submodule at core/)"
note: |
Entire runtime compiled into the binary. No external dependencies.
State serialization uses TIC_PERSISTENT_SIZE * 4 bytes of pmem()
data (tic80_libretro.c:1203-1243).
