kb_text_shape (v2.10, JimmyLefevre) had been LOST from the sx tree — ffi/stb_truetype.sx referenced repo paths that no longer existed (and nothing runs glyph_cache, so the dangling unit never fired). The trimmed copy returns from the m3te project as a proper vendor: curated c/kbts_api.h decls over the full upstream header, README with provenance, and examples/1627 pinning context + font creation so the unit compiles and runs in-suite. file_utils (in-house asset-read helper with the Android AAssetManager hook) gets the same unit shape. modules/ffi/stb_truetype.sx is gone: glyph_cache imports the three vendored units (stb_truetype, kb_text_shape, file_utils) directly.
vendors/file_utils — in-house asset-read helper
Not third-party: a small in-house C helper kept under vendors/ because
it ships as a #import c unit like the rest.
read_file_bytes(path, *out_size)— whole-file read, malloc'd bytes.- On Android, paths rooted inside the APK resolve through the
AAssetManagerinstalled viasx_android_set_asset_manager(modules/platform/android.sx calls it during activity startup; the hook only exists in the__ANDROID__build of the unit).
