Ben Stull cbb7c9f53d feat(sim): Right axis = deterministic real-time painterly dream
Replace the pre-baked SD restyle variants (too fluid — the painting re-rolled
every keyframe and the flow-warp melted frames) with a deterministic, real-time
dream that holds STILL across the loop; only the footage's own motion moves.
Design: docs/superpowers/specs/2026-06-22-right-axis-deterministic-dream-design.md

Engine (player/alteration.py): Restyle(variant) -> Dream(strength, intensity);
Calibration.right_variant_map -> dream_gain. player/state.py: a Right change is a
LIVE_UPDATE now, not a crossfade (only a clip swap crossfades). Plan dict
restyle -> dream. Tests migrated; 233 green. (No new Python behavior for the
client-render swap below.)

Renderer (simulator front-end): the Right dream is a WebGL2 Kuwahara shader on a
<canvas> over the live video — edge-preserving, so motion/structure stay crisp;
the dream is the same footage, just stylized (no blur). Ramped by the knob; max
goes "trippy" (vivid saturation + ~45deg hue drift + posterize, concentrated near
max via t=intensity^2). Phase-1 luminous-haze (CSS+bloom) was built then retired
by eye (blur read as out-of-focus video). Mood grade rides as a CSS filter on the
canvas; bloom layer removed.

Dev ergonomics that fell out of the iteration:
- /dev/version + a 1s client poll = live-reload (open tab never runs stale
  renderer code; reloads on my edits AND server restarts).
- no-cache on the dev server; an on-screen error banner + crash-proof render so a
  silent throw can't masquerade as "nothing is changing".
