PR created: #162

Added a procedural lens flare effect using Three.js Lensflare + LensflareElement. All flare sprites (radial glow, star-burst streaks, cyan ring, orange/purple ghosts, hex aperture) are generated at runtime via CanvasTexture — no image assets required. The sun PointLight arcs slowly across the sky so the flare and ghost elements shift position dynamically as you orbit the camera. Three.js handles frustum culling and occlusion automatically.

Added cinematic lens flare using the Three.js Lensflare addon with procedural canvas textures (no external assets). Five layered elements per flare source create a realistic multi-element streak. Attached to overheadLight (blue-white) and meterLight (sovereignty green). Occlusion is handled automatically by Three.js — flares fade behind geometry and glow when the camera looks directly toward the light.
