Sylpheed RE agent 1f17726526 tools: classify the mission briefing instead of filing it as menu
The briefing map is cyan and satisfies every clause of the menu rule (b-r > 30,
r < 45, little white), with no earlier rule claiming it -- so it was labelled
`menu`.  That made wait_screen.sh report NEVER REACHED READY ROOM on a run that
had successfully done LOAD GAME -> slot 01 -> YES and was three screens further
on: a working route scored as a failed one, pointing the next debugging step at
an input path that was fine.

Cyan has b and g nearly equal (b-g ~ 5) where the menu's blue leads its green
(b-g ~ 32), so `r < 20 and g > 30 and b - g < 20` separates them; the r floor
keeps the title screen out.  The file's own docstring already carried the
briefing's mean as an aside -- it just never had a class.

Verified against all eight signatures the file documents (2 menu variants, title,
ready room, flight, 3 briefing measurements): no regressions, and the captured
briefing image now reads `briefing`.

"""Identify which game screen a screenshot shows, without fixed pixel positions.
The nav scripts used to test named pixels ("648,221 is white"). That works only
while the game image sits at a known place on the root window, and it does not:
xenia's GTK window has a menu bar, so on some displays the image is ~25 px lower
and every constant reads the wrong row. The failure is silent and expensive — a
run sat on a plainly visible MAIN MENU for 300 s reporting "no main menu", and a
later one missed the title screen so the attract movie looped for ten minutes.
So identify screens by WHOLE-IMAGE statistics instead, which no vertical shift
(or scale, or letterbox) can move:
green fraction of pixels that are the game's green UI text/HUD colour
white fraction of near-white pixels
mean per-channel mean
Measured on known-good captures of each screen (1280x720, no menu bar):
title green 0.11% white 7.4% mean (62, 75, 84) blue-ish, bright
main menu green 0.04% white 3.5% mean (25, 38, 70) dark, strongly blue
in flight green 1.2% white 3.4% mean (54, 39, 37) green HUD everywhere
movie green 0% white varies no green at all
Usage: screen_id.py <png> [--json]
Prints one of: title | menu | briefing | readyroom | flight | other, plus the features.
