! HDMI Compute Fabric

The HDMI compute fabric (`5-Applications/scripts/hdmi_computational_shell.py`) turns display interfaces into general-purpose computation channels. Includes `score_route_damage` for damage scoring along routes, DSB cluster detection for broken invariant grouping, and the computational shell architecture that treats HDMI as a data bus. Integrates with [[FPGA Warden]] for hardware-level compute offload and the [[Virtual Display Blitter Compute Surface]] for blitter-based rendering computation. Part of the broader hardware-as-compute strategy alongside DisplayPort computational controller (`5-Applications/scripts/displayport_computational.py`), voltage computational substrate, and PCIe computational controller. This strategy treats every physical interface as a computational resource.
