Instrumented the C game on modern-rogue with a DUMP mode (patch in
testdata/c_seedcompat.patch) that forces the RNG seed and prints the
per-seed item appearance tables — potion colors, scroll names, ring
stones, wand/staff materials — in the normal init order, before initscr
so no terminal is needed. Captured its output for four seeds as
testdata/item_tables.golden.
TestSeedCompatItemTables regenerates the same tables from the Go port
via New(Params{Seed, Wizard: true}) and checks they match the golden
byte for byte. They do, for all four seeds — proving the LCG and its
consumption order through the whole init sequence (init_probs →
init_player → init_names → init_colors → init_stones → init_materials,
including init_player's arrow rnd(8)+rnd(15)) agree with C exactly.
testdata/README.md documents how to regenerate the golden.
