Proposed: new region type freetext in the schema — rendered as outlined text (white stroke, black fill, like sfx captions but at dialogue size) directly over the region after the original glyphs are removed by the inpainting toolchain (see inpaint issue). Until inpainting exists, freetext on non-white backgrounds falls back to typeset: false + queue.

Touches: references/schema.md, scripts/v0_typeset.py, layout-agent prompt (classification guidance).

Bare shout text with no bubble (e.g. ch001 p8 この泥棒猫!!!) currently renders as a white pill via the dialogue path. p8 worked out because the text sits on a flat white area, but the general case (text over screentone/art) can't be white-filled.

Shape-true fills and style preservation (flood masks already exist, renderer discards them) #5
