feat: Visual Smoke Test for The Nexus #490

Replaces 17-line stub with full visual smoke test suite.

Checks:
1. Page loads (HTTP 200)
2. HTML content (Three.js, canvas, title, no errors)
3. Screenshot capture (Playwright → wkhtmltoimage fallback)
4. Vision model analysis (optional, Gemma 3 layout verification)
5. Baseline comparison (file size + pixel diff via ImageMagick)

Features:
- Three screenshot backends (Playwright, wkhtmltoimage, browserless)
- Vision model checks: layout, Three.js render, navigation, text, errors
- Baseline regression detection (file size + pixel-level diff)
- JSON + text output formats
- CI-safe (programmatic-only mode, no vision dependency)
- Exit code 1 on failure, 0 on pass/warn

Tests: 10/10 passing.
Closes #490

+    2. Key elements present (Three.js canvas, title, navigation)
+    3. No 404/error messages visible
