Light the table above the room, show the felt and rail textures, and turn the legs

[darrinm]

Changes

Lighting

• In the photographed rooms, room fill, hemisphere and reflections run at 0.7 (ROOM_LIGHT) and the table lamp at 2.6× (was 1.2×).
• The panorama dims with distance from the table, from 0.85 near it to 0.5 at the walls.
• The lamp fixture still fades out before the camera reaches its height, so it cannot cover the table.

Felt/room mean-luminance ratio in the default view, HUD hidden:

Room	Before	After
Corner	1.55	3.93
Desert	1.01	1.78
Tokyo	2.59	6.80
Orbital	1.52	3.38
Alpine	1.59	3.67
Glasshouse	0.70	1.15
Coast	0.94	1.61
Riad	0.69	1.50
Minimal	6.89	6.71

Glasshouse stays lowest because its floor is near-white stone. Minimal dips slightly because its cloth texture now shows.

Textures

• ExtrudeGeometry UVs are world units, so the felt (×6), cloth normal (×40) and rail wood (×4) repeats tiled hundreds of times across the table. They mipped down to a flat felt and a woven moiré on the rails.
• Repeats are now tiles per unit (felt 10 units, weave 2, grain 22).
• The rail frame's top faces get their own UVs, so the grain runs along each rail, end rails included.
• woodMap and the cloth weave now tile seamlessly.

Table

• Turned legs. Orbital still hides the legs.
• Rounded apron.
• Warmer sight diamonds, set 5/1000 proud of the rail.
• Balls receive the lamp's shadows. Shadow-casting lights are unchanged from main: the lamp (2048) and the Sun cue (512).

HUD

• Darker header scrim and a soft text shadow over bright panoramas.
• The arcade label and an idle ×1 are neutral. A live streak keeps the player's colour (data-hot on MultiplierBadge, with a test assertion).

Tried and reverted after play testing

• Orbital Earth: a composited NASA Earth left artifacts along the frame and mullion cutout lines. The original panorama is restored.
• Furniture shading from the room fill light: its 1024 shadow map spans 280 units, 0.27 units per texel. The moons' shadows from that light stepped a texel about four times a second.

Not changed

• The aim guide and pockets: astrapool already has its own versions.
• The bent edges in the Tokyo and Glasshouse panoramas: fixing them needs regenerated panoramas.

Testing

• npm test: 361 pass.
• npm run physics-test: 26/26.
• npm run build succeeds.
• npm run test:online: 6 pass.
• Checked in Chrome with before/after screenshots in all nine rooms, table close-ups, the HUD over Glasshouse and Corner, and portrait at 390×844.
• The running build casts shadows from the same lights as main.
