feat: Session Power Meter — 3D balance visualizer (#17)
Add a glowing orb power meter to the Workshop scene that reflects the
session balance in real time.

- power-meter.js: new Three.js module — transparent outer shell,
  inner orb that scales 0→1 with fill fraction, lightning bolt overlay,
  point light and equator ring accent; DOM text label projected above
  the orb shows current sats. Color interpolates red→yellow→cyan.
  Pulses bright on 'fill' event, quick flicker on 'drain'.
- session.js: imports meter helpers; tracks _sessionMax (initial
  deposit); calls setMeterVisible/setMeterBalance in _applySessionUI;
  triggers fill/drain pulses on payment and job deduction; exports
  openSessionPanel() for click-to-open wiring; clears meter on
  _clearSession.
- websocket.js: handles session_balance_update WS event — updates
  fill level and fires pulse.
- interaction.js: adds registerClickTarget(group, callback) — wired
  for both FPS pointer-lock and non-lock modes and short taps.
- main.js: wires initPowerMeter/updatePowerMeter/disposePowerMeter
  into the build/animate/teardown cycle; registers meter as click
  target that opens the session panel.

Timmy Tower World

A Three.js 3D visualization of the Timmy agent network. Agents appear as glowing icosahedra connected by lines, pulsing as they process jobs. A matrix-rain particle effect fills the background.

Quick start

npm install
npm run dev      # Vite dev server with hot reload → http://localhost:5173
npm run build    # Production bundle → dist/
npm run preview  # Serve dist/ locally

Configuration

Set these in a .env.local file (not committed):

VITE_WS_URL=ws://localhost:8080/ws/agents

Leave VITE_WS_URL unset to run in offline/demo mode (agents animate but receive no live updates).

Adding custom agents

Edit one file only: js/agent-defs.js

export const AGENT_DEFS = [
  // existing agents …
  {
    id:        'zeta',      // unique string — matches WebSocket message agentId
    label:     'ZETA',      // displayed in the 3D HUD
    color:     0xff00aa,    // hex integer (0xRRGGBB)
    role:      'observer',  // shown under the label sprite
    direction: 'east',      // cardinal facing direction (north/east/south/west)
    x:         12,          // world-space position (horizontal)
    z:         0,           // world-space position (depth)
  },
];

Nothing else needs to change. agents.js reads positions from x/z, and websocket.js reads colors and labels — both derive everything from AGENT_DEFS.

Architecture

js/
├── agent-defs.js   ← single source of truth: id, label, color, role, position
├── agents.js       ← Three.js scene objects, animation loop
├── effects.js      ← matrix rain particles, starfield
├── interaction.js  ← OrbitControls (pan, zoom, rotate)
├── main.js         ← entry point, rAF loop
├── ui.js           ← DOM HUD overlay (FPS, agent states, chat)
└── websocket.js    ← WebSocket reconnect, message dispatch

WebSocket protocol

The backend sends JSON messages on the agents channel:

type Fields Effect
agent_state agentId, state Update agent visual state
job_started agentId, jobId Increment job counter, pulse
job_completed agentId, jobId Decrement job counter
chat agentId, text Append to chat panel

Agent states: idle (dim pulse) · active (bright pulse + fast ring spin)
