Jim Liu 宝玉 16db99a3ef feat(baoyu-cover-image): add screen-print rendering and duotone palette
Add screen-print as 7th rendering style with halftone textures and limited
colors. Add duotone as 10th color palette for dramatic two-color compositions.
Update all compatibility matrices and style presets (poster-art, mondo,
art-deco, propaganda, cinematic).

# screen-print
Bold, limited-color poster art with print texture
## Core Characteristics
Screen print / silkscreen aesthetic with flat color blocks, halftone textures, and deliberate print imperfections. Think Mondo limited-edition posters, vintage concert prints, and alternative movie poster art.
## Lines
- Clean, sharp edges between color blocks
- No outlines — shapes defined by color boundaries
- Stencil-cut quality, bold silhouettes
- Geometric shapes with precise registration
## Texture
- Halftone dot patterns within color fills
- Slight color layer misregistration (offset between print layers)
- Paper grain texture beneath colors
- Risograph / screen print imperfections (ink spread, dot gain)
## Depth
- Flat color planes layered front to back
- Depth through silhouette overlap and color layering
- No gradients — tonal variation via halftone density
- Negative space as active compositional element
## Element Vocabulary
- Bold silhouettes and symbolic shapes
- Geometric framing (circles, arches, triangles)
- Figure-ground inversion (negative space forms secondary image)
- Limited icon vocabulary: key props, symbolic objects
- Typography integrated as design element, not overlay
- Vintage poster border treatments
## Typography Approach
- Bold condensed sans-serif or hand-drawn lettering
- Art Deco influences, vintage poster typography
- Typography as integral part of composition (not separate layer)
- Strong readability through high contrast with background
