feat(sim): analytical Left HUD redesign + affect channel + no-cache

Left-brain HUD look-and-feel pass (judged by eye in the sim):
- corner-bracket targeting reticles (capped arms) replace plain boxes
- translucent label chips, legible over any frame
- two sensor channels: cyan detections (with deterministic confidence
  scores) vs amber measurements (center crosshair)
- bbox-sized "ANALYSIS . L{n} . {k} OBJ" status tag, escalating with Left

Affect channel (emotions in the HUD), per
docs/superpowers/specs/2026-06-22-affect-channel-hud-design.md:
- surfaces only when BOTH knobs up; strength = min(left, right)
- stable per-scene palette, more words appear with combined strength
- soft glowing violet words on their own opacity layer (the dream
  leaking into the machine's read); math in player/alteration.py
- forest/cosmos/abyss palettes in the manifest; 5 new unit tests

Simulator no-cache middleware so by-eye iteration never serves a stale
app.js / api response (fixes the latent "plan has affect but clip.affect
empty" stale-/api/clips bug).
