"""Palette-constrained dithering. Every routine takes the working image in CIELAB plus a per-pixel table of the palette indices that pixel is *allowed* to use (because the VIC-II only lets a given screen cell show a small set of colours), and returns an (H,W) image of chosen palette indices (0..15). Because the allowed set is per-pixel, error that diffuses across a cell boundary is automatically re-clamped to the neighbour cell's own colours -- exactly the constraint real C64 hardware imposes.
