Josh Creek 02df09e40d feat(arena): draw the play volume as one non-overlapping surface shell
Every visible surface of the enclosure shared one alpha-blended material and
was drawn as several overlapping layers: floor, ceiling and four walls as
solid BoxMeshes, plus corner curves and fillets generated on top of the box
faces they eased into. Alpha-blended surfaces don't write depth and sort per
object, so the perimeter composited that tint twice and the corners three
times, giving hard-edged trapezoidal patches that re-sorted as the camera
moved. The floor box also overhung the walls by 1 m and showed through them.

Replace all of it with a single generated mesh covering the inner surface
exactly once, every piece cut to meet its neighbours edge-on and only
inward-facing triangles emitted. It carries two surfaces: an opaque hull
(deck, base fillets, goal bulkheads) and the translucent containment field
(walls, corners, ceiling fillets, ceiling).

The field shader is additive and unshaded rather than alpha-blended: additive
cannot double-darken and composites order-independently, so overlap is
structurally invisible, and being unshaded it no longer picks up per-arena
light and GI gradients across a 28x40 m panel. Fresnel replaces the old
StandardMaterial3D rim, which was a lit effect and the wrong tool. The deck
shader draws plating and field markings procedurally from the boundary's own
constants, so markings cannot drift from the collision geometry.

Per-face MeshInstance3D visibility toggling is gone; the field shader fades
facets the camera has crossed outside of per-pixel from one uniform, which is
what allows a single merged mesh.

Also adds ELEVATED goal mode and the ceiling fillets, and skips the mesh build
entirely under --headless, where training spawns instances that never render.

Collision is untouched: 166 collider shapes in FLOOR mode and 158 in ELEVATED,
verified byte-identical to before, so trained policies in Game/bots/ are
unaffected.
