Fixes #122

What this adds

6 structure node anchors — icosahedron wireframes at fixed positions in 3D space (core, east/west towers, north spire, south relay, deep node)
8 curved cable conduits — TubeGeometry meshes built from CatmullRomCurve3 arcs with randomised mid-arc bow between node pairs
Glowing flowing particles — 8 THREE.Points per cable traversing the curve using curve.getPoint(t), staggered so they fill the cable at all times
Pulsing opacity — cable tubes and node wireframes pulse their opacity each frame via Math.sin(elapsed)
Co-rotation — cables and nodes rotate with the star field / constellation layer
3 new color entries added to NEXUS.colors: cableGlow, particle, nodeGlow

- Add 6 structure node anchors (icosahedron wireframes) at fixed 3D positions
- Connect nodes via curved TubeGeometry cables (CatmullRomCurve3 arcs)
- Animate PARTICLES_PER_CABLE=8 glowing particles flowing along each cable
- Cables/nodes co-rotate with star field and pulse opacity each frame
- Extend NEXUS.colors with cableGlow, particle, nodeGlow entries

Merge conflict after #190 landed. Rebase onto main and re-push. Changes look good — will merge once clean.
