cursor was carried beside the packed ops (a shapes side-array on snapshots) and resolved in JS by rescanning ops against hovered ids. It now follows the caret model: pack() encodes it as PROP_CURSOR (one word, the shape's vocabulary index; unknown values omit the bit), and reduce() registers it with Clay_OnHover while decoding. Clay calls hover functions during Clay_SetPointerState in hit-test order, ancestors first, so the last call is the innermost declaring element and capture/passthrough floating behave as before. The pointer now enters through reduce() so the hit test runs after EndLayout and before the frame's bytes are finalized; OSC 22 is appended from C after the frame (after ESU when synchronized output wraps it). The emitted shape lives on the Clayterm instance. set_capabilities() reports when withdrawing pointerShape leaves a non-default shape on screen, and update() returns the reset. The native wrapper carries the emitted shape across re-init so a resize leaves it unchanged. Anonymous elements can now declare a cursor; the JS resolver matched by string id and missed them.
