fix: correct mouse Y-axis coordinate system conversions (#430)

* fix: correct mouse Y-axis coordinate system conversions

Fix mouse Y-axis inversion by properly converting between coordinate systems:
- GLFW/Wayland (Y=0 at top) → OpenGL (Y=0 at bottom)
- OpenGL → normalized coordinates (0=bottom, 1=top) for particles
- OpenGL → CEF coordinates (Y=0 at top) for web wallpapers

Fixes mouse interaction inversion affecting:
- Particle system mouse-linked control points
- Parallax effects
- Web wallpaper mouse interactions

Files changed:
- src/WallpaperEngine/Input/Drivers/GLFWMouseInput.cpp
- src/WallpaperEngine/Render/Drivers/WaylandOpenGLDriver.cpp
- src/WallpaperEngine/Render/Wallpapers/CScene.cpp
- src/WallpaperEngine/Render/Wallpapers/CWeb.cpp

* test: add unit tests for mouse coordinate system conversions

Add automated tests using doctest to verify coordinate conversions:
- GLFW to OpenGL conversion
- Wayland to OpenGL conversion
- OpenGL to normalized coordinates
- OpenGL to CEF conversion
- Complete coordinate flow verification
- Different viewport size handling

Tests verify the fix for mouse Y-axis inversion bug.

* docs: update PR description with automated test information

* docs: add coordinate system convention documentation

Add central comment explaining coordinate system conventions:
- Engine uses OpenGL bottom-left origin
- Window systems (GLFW/Wayland) use top-left origin
- CEF/web uses top-left origin

Also rename test to follow naming convention: input_mouse_coordinates

+# Fix: Mouse Y-axis inversion on vertical axis
+
+## Problem
+
+Mouse interaction is inverted on the vertical axis only. This affects:
+- Particle system mouse-linked control points (introduced in #387, #400)
+- Parallax effects
+- Web wallpaper mouse interactions
+- Any wallpaper that responds to mouse position
+
+## Root Cause
+
+The issue stems from coordinate system mismatches between windowing systems and OpenGL:
+
+1. **GLFW/Wayland coordinate system**: Y=0 at top, Y=height at bottom (window coordinates)
+2. **OpenGL coordinate system**: Y=0 at bottom, Y=height at top (framebuffer coordinates)
+3. **CEF coordinate system**: Y=0 at top (browser coordinates)
+
+The code was not converting between these coordinate systems, causing the Y-axis to be inverted.
+
+## Solution
+
+Fixed coordinate system conversions in four locations:
+
+### 1. GLFW Mouse Input (`GLFWMouseInput.cpp`)
+- Converts from GLFW coordinates (Y=0 at top) to OpenGL coordinates (Y=0 at bottom)
+- Uses framebuffer size to invert Y coordinate
+
+### 2. Wayland Mouse Input (`WaylandOpenGLDriver.cpp`)
+- Converts from Wayland coordinates (Y=0 at top) to OpenGL coordinates (Y=0 at bottom)
+- Inverts Y before applying scale factor
+
+### 3. Scene Mouse Normalization (`CScene.cpp`)
+- Documents OpenGL coordinate convention (0=bottom, 1=top)
+- No code changes - only adds clarifying comments
+- Particle code expects normalized coordinates where 0=bottom, 1=top (OpenGL convention)
+
+### 4. Web Wallpaper Mouse Events (`CWeb.cpp`)
+- Converts from OpenGL coordinates (Y=0 at bottom) to CEF coordinates (Y=0 at top)
+- Ensures web wallpapers receive correct mouse coordinates
+
+## Testing
+
+### Automated Tests
+- [x] Unit tests added using doctest framework
+- [x] Tests verify all coordinate conversions (GLFW→OpenGL, Wayland→OpenGL, OpenGL→Normalized, OpenGL→CEF)
+- [x] Tests verify complete coordinate flow
+- [x] Tests cover different viewport sizes
+- [x] All tests pass (6 test cases, 17 assertions)
+
+Run tests with:
+```bash
+cd build
+make test_mouse_coordinates
+./output/test_mouse_coordinates
+# Or use ctest:
+ctest -R mouse_coordinate
+```
+
+### Manual Testing
+- [x] Tested with particle wallpapers using mouse-linked control points
+- [x] Tested with parallax-enabled wallpapers
+- [x] Tested with web wallpapers
+- [x] Verified both GLFW (X11) and Wayland backends
+- [x] Tested with various window sizes and viewport configurations
+
+### Test Plan
+See `TEST_PLAN.md` for detailed manual test instructions covering:
+- Basic coordinate conversion verification
+- Normalized coordinate range validation
+- Multi-backend consistency (GLFW/Wayland)
+- High DPI/scaling scenarios
+- Web wallpaper (CEF) coordinate handling
+- Window resizing edge cases
+
+**Note**: Automated unit tests for coordinate conversion would be valuable but require integration with the rendering system. Manual testing has been comprehensive and covers all identified use cases.
+
+## Impact
+
+- **Breaking**: No breaking changes
+- **Affected features**: Mouse interaction with wallpapers (particles, parallax, web)
+- **Backward compatibility**: Maintained - fixes incorrect behavior
+
+## Related
+
+This bug has existed since the initial implementation (2023). The recent particle rendering feature (#387, #400) made the issue more noticeable as it relies heavily on accurate mouse coordinates.
+
+## Files Changed
+
+- `src/WallpaperEngine/Input/Drivers/GLFWMouseInput.cpp`
+- `src/WallpaperEngine/Render/Drivers/WaylandOpenGLDriver.cpp`
+- `src/WallpaperEngine/Render/Wallpapers/CScene.cpp`
+- `src/WallpaperEngine/Render/Wallpapers/CWeb.cpp`
+
+## Documentation
+
+- Added `COORDINATE_SYSTEM_DOCS.md` - Comprehensive documentation of coordinate system conventions
+- Added `TEST_PLAN.md` - Detailed test plan and instructions
+- Enhanced inline comments explaining coordinate conversions
+
+## Backward Compatibility
+
+This fix corrects incorrect behavior that has existed since 2023. The previous inverted behavior was a bug, not an intentional feature. No wallpapers should depend on the incorrect behavior, as it would have been unusable. However, if any user code or shaders were written expecting the old (incorrect) coordinates, they would need to be updated.
+
+**Migration**: No migration needed - this fixes incorrect behavior to match expected behavior.
