As a user
I want Sixel graphics in supported terminals
So that I can display images without Unicode art

Acceptance Criteria:

  • SixelDisplay renders to Sixel format
  • Works in iTerm2, mintty, and other Sixel terminals
  • Pure Python implementation (no C dependency)

Technical Tasks:

  • Create engine/display/backends/sixel.py: SixelDisplay
  • Add tests in test_sixel.py
  • Document supported terminals in README
