Owner

Answers the open question of #11 with routes (decision D1).

tests/routes/run_route.py --port <name|all>=<mode> --semantic: run a route with ports on and compare only its semantic checkpoints (map, party HP, event flags...) with the recorded movie; tools/ff6drive.py passes --port to the server.
ctest route_ports_on.<route>.<version> (label slow) for both routes, US and JP.

Validation

title_to_first_battle_win with battle/Rand=on (17 calls replaced): goal at the same frame as the movie (US 10253, JP 9556), checkpoints ok, and even the end picture/WRAM/SRAM hashes are identical to the interpreter-only movie.
route_ports_on.field_menu_tour.US_V10 via ctest: passed (115.6 s).

Fixes #11 (whole-game behaviour with the first port on is unchanged; the transient audio/sound-driver divergence seen with the blind input script is reported by rom.ports.* and documented in docs/validation.md).

verify: routes with ports on, compared on semantic checkpoints (refs #11 ) dc8b410e8d

run_route.py --port/--semantic, ff6drive ports=; ctest route_ports_on.* (slow). With
battle/Rand on (17 calls), the first-battle route ends at the same frame with identical
picture/WRAM/SRAM hashes on US and JP.
