Bring the slice-1 alteration engine into the simulator so the experience look can be tuned before hardware (operator simulator-first directive). Python-canonical engine, thin browser renderer; Dark/Light as a live runtime grade, Left/Right as a 5x5 grid of pre-baked authored variant clips selected by coordinate. Revises the machine-altered-perception design SS4.3/SS10: the Left HUD is now baked into authored variant videos (authorial precision over the HUD) rather than a runtime overlay, trading away near-free multilingual support. Retires the simulator's selection-era X-ray view + endpoints. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
