port: make ScreenView say what it could not draw; refute 'first-declared paints first'

skipped[] has been tracked and read by nobody since P1, under a comment saying a
silently missing element looks like art. _note_structural prints from inside
ScreenView rather than returning a value for a caller -- routing it through a
caller is exactly what did not happen. Structural skips only; transparent-at-
rest is ordinary animation. Zero found today: a guard, not a fix.

The first version of that scan was a FALSE PASS: screen_view.gd did not parse
(a line inserted at three tabs inside a four-tab block -- the substring assert
matched a shallower indent), so grep counted zero from a dead script. The scan
now counts the summary line as a positive control.

Refutes 'the first-declared element paints first', which would have made the
forced-backdrop rule redundant since all six forced elements are index 0. False
on 8 of 16 screens -- decisively on main_menu, where index 0 is pteff00, painted
LAST, and pteff00 is a measured control.
