feat(hero): first pass from the masonic-temple reference folder

Art/reference/hero-masonic/ (15 images, git-ignored) replaces the single Wikimedia photo as the source of
truth. Two front elevations drive this pass: 02-masonictemple01.jpg, a clean street-level frontal, and
06-el-capitan-theater-frontal-fachade.jpg; 05-hollywoodmasonictemple-1922.jpg records the original masonry.

Changes:

- the blank Hero_Stylobate_LintelBand across the portals is removed - the reference has open doorways with
  steps, and they now read as three dark openings with banners above them;
- rustication(): five ashlar courses from the pavement to the portal heads, 4 cm joints proud of the wall;
- balustrade(): bottom rail, top rail and 38 balusters along the roof edge, where the reference shows a
  cresting and railing.

Still missing against the same references, and recorded: warm sandstone instead of flat pale stone, lattice
grilles in the window bays, the carved inscription, and medallions that do not read at distance.

The blend is read-only after a checkout - chmod u+w first or the save fails silently and the FBX is never
written, which happened once here.

Rows 4-6 re-rendered and pending review.

**And check the review shot.** The three hero captures show a plain block with six columns and nothing else - no banners, no windows, no portals - while the mesh demonstrably carries all four materials (`M_Facade_Banner`, `M_Facade_Stone`, `M_Facade_StoneShadow`, `M_Facade_GlassDark`) and is staged at `(-13336, 1307, 0)` with yaw 0. That suggests the cameras are framing the wrong actor (`Frontage_SM_ElCapitanTheatre` sits at the origin) or the wrong side, and the "rework" note may be describing a camera error rather than the model. Verify that first: one render with a camera aimed at `Hero_Facade` from Y -4000 at 8 m height.
### First pass against the folder references
`Art/reference/hero-masonic/` (15 images, ignored by git as reference photography) is now the source of truth rather than one Wikimedia photo. `02-masonictemple01.jpg` and `06-el-capitan-theater-frontal-fachade.jpg` are the front elevations used for the first pass; `05-hollywoodmasonictemple-1922.jpg` records the original masonry.
Done in this pass:
- the detail is seated on the wall (previous step), so banners, windows and portals render;
- the blank `Hero_Stylobate_LintelBand` across the portals is gone - the reference has open doorways with steps, which now read correctly;
- `rustication()` cuts five ashlar courses from the pavement to the portal heads;
- `balustrade()` adds a bottom rail, a top rail and 38 balusters along the roof edge.
Still missing, from the same references: warm sandstone instead of the flat pale stone, lattice grilles in the window bays, the carved inscription on the motto band, and the two medallions are not reading at distance.
### Tasks
- [x] Confirm the hero captures frame `Hero_Facade` - **done**: the cameras are aimed at (-13336, 1307), the hero actor is there, and the frontage is at the origin.
