+// =============================================================================
+//
+// OVERVIEW
+// --------
+// The legacy path called drawPixel() once per set glyph pixel.  drawPixel()
+// invokes rotateCoordinates() (a switch), does a bounds check, logs on OOB,
+// then writes one bit.  For a typical 10×14 UI glyph that is ~100 calls.
+//
+// This fast path eliminates drawPixel() entirely by writing directly to the
+// framebuffer in up to 8-pixel chunks via writeRowBits().
+//
+// FRAMEBUFFER LAYOUT
+// ------------------
+// 1 bpp, MSB-first, DISPLAY_WIDTH (800) pixels per row stored in
+// DISPLAY_WIDTH_BYTES (100) bytes.  Bit 7 of byte 0 = leftmost pixel of
+// row 0.  "Physical row" phyY occupies bytes [phyY*100 .. phyY*100+99].
+// A set bit (1) is WHITE; a cleared bit (0) is BLACK.
+//
+// LANDSCAPE ORIENTATIONS  (2.5–3.1× speedup vs legacy)
+// -------------------------------------------------------
+// phyX and phyY are both linear functions of glyphX/glyphY in these modes,
+// so each glyph row maps directly to a physical framebuffer row.
+//
+//   LandscapeCounterClockwise:  phyX = screenXBase+glyphX,  phyY = screenYBase+glyphY
+//   LandscapeClockwise:         phyX = W-1-screenXBase-glyphX, phyY = H-1-screenYBase-glyphY
+//
+// Strategy: outer loop over glyphY (one physical row per iteration), inner
+// loop reads 8-pixel chunks of that glyph row with bitmapExtract() and writes
+// them with writeRowBits().  Bitmap access is purely sequential — fastest.
+// LandscapeClockwise iterates glyph chunks right-to-left and applies
+// reverseBits8() to flip horizontal direction.
+//
+// PORTRAIT ORIENTATIONS  (~2× speedup vs legacy)
+// -----------------------------------------------
+// Portrait (90° CW panel rotation):
+//   phyX = screenYBase+glyphY,  phyY = H-1-screenXBase-glyphX
+// PortraitInverted (90° CCW panel rotation):
+//   phyX = W-1-screenYBase-glyphY, phyY = screenXBase+glyphX
+//
+// Here glyph COLUMNS map to physical rows.  Naively iterating column-by-column
+// reads the bitmap with stride glyphWidth — cache-unfriendly and one bit at a
+// time.  Instead we use an 8×8 bit-matrix transpose:
+//
+//   For each 8-row × 8-column glyph block:
+//     1. Read 8 consecutive glyph rows (sequential bitmap access) into the
+//        top 8 bytes of a uint64_t (one bitmapExtract per row).
+//     2. Call transpose8x8() — an O(log 8) butterfly transform — to swap
+//        the role of rows and columns in 3 passes of XOR-masking.
+//     3. The resulting uint64_t holds 8 column bytes: byte k contains the
+//        bits for glyph column glyphX+k, one per physical row, MSB-aligned.
+//     4. Write each column byte with writeRowBits() to its physical row.
+//
+// For PortraitInverted the glyph rows are packed in reverse order (last row
+// at MSB of the uint64_t) before transposing.  This ensures the post-transpose
+// column bytes are already correctly ordered (MSB = leftmost phyX) without any
+// per-column bit-reversal step.
+//
