Bring the unmerged session-0007 simulator-alteration-preview design onto a
single thread and add the reconciliation design that resolves the load-bearing
Left-HUD conflict between it and the merged session-0008 scales-library /
right-axis design.
Decision (operator-approved): Left is a RUNTIME overlay (authored annotation
track + per-language string tables, shaped live — browser in the sim, Pango/
HarfBuzz on the Pi), not baked pixels. Consequently the pre-baked variant set is
1-D over Right strength, not 0007's 2-D 5x5 Left x Right grid; 0007's baked-HUD
position (its sec 4/5/8) is superseded. Engine change is surgical — the merged
slice-1 engine already keeps a runtime AnalyticalOverlay.
Scopes the first simulator-runnable slice: deterministic Dark/Light/Left +
discrete pre-baked flow-stabilized Right variants over ONE neutral clip, wired
into the simulator, with a parameterized Calibration tuned by eye.
