// Opaque hull for the arena: the deck, the fillets easing it into the walls,
// and the bulkheads surrounding each goal mouth — the lit half of
// ArenaBoundary's visual shell.
//
// Everything is drawn procedurally from the vertex's position in the
// boundary's local space, so field markings are resolution-independent and
// need no decals, UVs or texture authoring. All dimensions arrive as uniforms
// set from ArenaBoundary's constants (see _make_deck_material), so the
// markings cannot drift away from the collision geometry they describe.
