Nicholas ButzkeandClaude Opus 5 f1a4f7df52 feat(emotes): five dances, built like animation, behind a radial dial
The shared clip library ships exactly one `Dance_Loop`, and five copies of one
clip is not five dances. What the runtime does have is a procedural pose layer
over a real skeleton with spring-driven hair and cloth, which is enough — if
the motion is constructed the way an animator would construct it rather than
the way a programmer reaches for first.

Wiring sine waves to bones is that first reach, and everyone can tell. A raw
sine moves fastest through the middle and slowest at the ends by the same
amount on every channel, all in phase, forever. It floats. It has no weight, no
accent, and no sense that one part of the body is driving and the rest is
following. Four principles fix it, and all four are cheap:

  OVERLAP        the body is a chain. Hips lead, spine follows a beat later,
                 head last. One subtraction — `beat - lag * i` — and the spring
                 solver then carries it out through the hair and skirt for free,
                 because the dance layer runs before it.
  ACCENT         a dance HITS poses. `shape` bends the wave so it hangs at the
                 extremes and snaps between them, which is what a key-and-
                 breakdown pass produces by hand.
  WEIGHT         the HIPS translate, not just rotate. A body that never leaves
                 its own axis reads as a puppet on a stick.
  CONTRAST       Robot deliberately breaks all of the above — zero lag,
                 quantised motion — and reads as mechanical precisely because
                 the other four do not.

Spin spots its head: it holds a heading against the turn and whips round to
catch up, which is what a real dancer does to keep from getting dizzy and the
most recognisable thing about a turn.

The dial is a radial menu because every option is then the SAME DISTANCE from
where the pointer starts — the choice is a direction, and a direction becomes
muscle memory in a way "the fourth row down" does not. Selection is by ANGLE
alone, so a flick and a careful nudge do the same thing. HOLD to open, release
to commit; a tap too short to have aimed replays the last emote, which is what
the button did before, so the old habit still works. Pressing while already
dancing just stops — having to aim at something in order to STOP would be the
most annoying possible way to build this.

debug/dance_check.gd asserts the overlap, and getting it to measure that took
four wrong measurements, each of which is now a comment where it was made:

  - correlating the hips' TRANSLATION against the head's position relative to
    them compared two different quantities at different periods; it ranked the
    Robot, whose lag is zero by construction, as the most overlapped routine.
  - a signed scalar `angle * sign of the axis's largest component` is
    DISCONTINUOUS — as a rocking bone passes back through rest the axis flips —
    so smooth Two-Step measured a full-range jump per frame, which is exactly
    what quantised motion looks like.
  - a bone's GLOBAL rotation carries every ancestor's, so the head correlates
    with the hips at lag zero however delayed the head itself is.
  - and the hips and head are driven by different channels anyway.

Measuring two links of the SAME chain, as local rotation vectors, agrees with
the authored lag: Spin measures 9 frames against 8.4 authored, Two-Step 7
against 6.6, Robot 0. The Robot is checked on the property it actually has —
its jump per frame is 0.41 of its range against 0.03-0.06 for the others.

RigRoles is pulled out of ShooterPoseModifier so the dance layer resolves bones
the same way rather than carrying a second copy. Two copies is how a rig ends up
animating correctly under one modifier and not the other.

spawn smoke 0 failures, 11/11 movement, 21/21 weapon-hold pairs, contrast 108/108.
