Point 2 from Sovereignty Manifest

What

Remove all _placeholderCanvas and procedural 404-fixing code. If an asset is missing, the build should fail or the asset should be generated, not papered over with 20 lines of safety code.

Why

Writing code to handle a missing 1KB file is waste. Fix the root cause (missing asset) instead of the symptom.

Acceptance Criteria

All _placeholderCanvas code removed
Missing assets cause visible errors, not silent fallbacks
Any genuinely needed textures are committed to the repo

Refs hermes-agent #115

Removed the 12-line _placeholderCanvas block from app.js. The procedural canvas texture was generated to avoid a 404 on a missing placeholder-texture.jpg, but the texture was stored in loadedAssets and never retrieved anywhere — pure dead waste. Deleted entirely. node --check app.js passes.
