Affect was authored per SCALE — every clip in an altitude shared the same 4
emotion words. Now every clip carries its OWN feelings, read from that specific
footage (mood, motion, light), so e.g. the violent Tarantula nebula evokes "a
violent ferment" while the dying-star Southern Ring evokes "a star's slow dying /
a luminous farewell," and a drowsing seal haul-out evokes "a sun-warmed drowse."
Adds AFFECT_CLIP (per-clip override; falls back to the scale register) covering
all 41 clips — 41 distinct feeling-sets, one per clip. Keeps each scale's
emotional family as a base and swaps in 1-2 footage-specific feelings, reusing the
existing feel.* palette where it fits and adding 19 new nuance keys (sublime,
tenderness, turbulence, radiance, mortality, poignancy, eeriness, purity,
solitude, verdancy, freshness, repose, hush, poise, flow, intricacy, spectral,
alienness, strangeness) with full es/fr/ja. 42 distinct feeling keys now in use.
Drafted by viewing each clip's footage (per-scale passes); first-pass reads that
want operator by-eye review. Data-only (build_pool_manifest.py + manifest + i18n
catalogs). Verified: 34/34 catalog+i18n+build pytest, 16/16 node unit, 4-language
parity for every clip, live render shows distinct feelings per clip (incl. new
keys) with Think/Feel overlap still 0.

Every clip now carries at least 3 factual LEFT annotations to match the 4 RIGHT
(Feel) affect words — fixes the "many clips missing Think labels" asymmetry
(right read "everywhere", left felt sparse). Adds one researched factual label to
each of the 23 thin clips (orbit_bluemarble had only 1; 22 had 2), with full
es/fr/ja parity via the catalogs, and converts the 4 still-static abyss creature
subjects (octopus, bigfin squid, dandelion siphonophore, sea pig) from fixed
boxes to 3-keyframe motion-tracked labels (tracked clips 7 -> 11).
Boxes/tracks are a first pass sampled by eye from base footage (t=0.05/0.5/0.95);
they want operator by-eye review in author mode to fine-tune positions. Remaining
static clips are landscapes (correctly static) plus 2 diffuse fish schools and 2
surface-animal scenes, available for author-mode tracking if wanted.
Data-only change (build_pool_manifest.py LABELS + manifest + i18n catalogs); no
app/engine code touched. Verified: 43/43 manifest+catalog+i18n pytest, 16/16 node
unit, live render shows 3 chips/clip in all 4 languages with no JS errors. (The 3
failing pytest are pre-existing cv2/ffmpeg-absent env limits, unrelated.)
Note: the reported "audio not playing" was a false alarm — exhaustive repro
(Chromium+WebKit, strict autoplay, both servers, RMS-verified non-silent files)
found the audio engine correct; the operator's Safari output was muted.

Every rotating-pool clip shipped with right-brain `affect` (auto-generated per
scale by _affect_for_clip) but only 13 carried LEFT-brain factual `LABELS`. The
other 28 rendered with no detected.*/measure.* labels at any Left knob level.
Authors static tiered labels (general → specific → scientific → +fact) for all
28 — 5 cosmos, 4 orbit, 8 sky, 5 coast, 2 reef, 4 abyss — in build_pool_manifest.py
following the existing static_label pattern, plus their es/fr/ja translations in
tools/i18n/catalogs (binomials/measurements kept verbatim; units localized per
each catalog's convention). Rebuilds the manifest and merges all four languages.
Result: 41/41 clips now have left+right annotations with full en/es/fr/ja parity.
Labels are static (footage not eyeballed); the abyss/reef creature clips could
later be upgraded to tracked labels via author mode.

41 clips, 753 string-variants per language, structure-validated (key-sets
and tier-counts identical to en). Escalation semantics preserved.
