BenStullsBets 041fcdeb7d fix(sim): keep Feel (affect) words from overlapping Think (label) chips

Denser left labels (now >=3/clip) plus the always-4 right affect words made the
two HUD layers collide. renderAffect now nudges each Feel word vertically off the
Think chip plates (and off already-placed words + the ANALYSIS status tag),
staying on-screen, keeping the least-overlapping spot if nothing is fully clear.

Feelings are scene-level (soft position) so we move THEM, never a chip off its
subject. Obstacles are computed from the manifest, not the DOM, and a tracked
label's path is sampled across the loop — so the clearance holds for the whole
loop even though the per-frame track re-render keeps moving the chips (no per-frame
re-layout, no jitter). New diagnostic seam window.__hefNoDeconflict (sibling of
__hefState) A/B-toggles it.

Verified across all 6 scales at max knobs: authored overlaps drop to 0 with none
introduced (cosmos 3->0), and a tracked abyss clip stays at 0 overlaps sampled
over loop time as its chip drifts. No affect-position test exists to break;
16/16 node unit + frontend pytest green.
