feat(facades): 0.1.6 retail frontage first pass — Lee Drug and 6806-6820

Models the two retail buildings beside the hero from their own photograph rather
than the generic kit: bronze cornice, mural row, lettering band, stepped Deco
parapet and rounded corner tower on 6800 Lee Drug; burgundy fascia, pilasters,
white-framed windows and banded parapet on 6806-6820. Reference analysis written
before any geometry (Art/blender/retail/ref-analysis.md), every unmeasured
proportion carried into the part report as an assumption.

6822 Budget is deferred, not guessed: no photograph of it exists and the 6.0 x 5.5 m
sliver cannot be read out of the neighbour shot.

Pipeline fixes found on the way:
- render_screenshots.sh called ./Engine/... for the capture step while every
  commandlet used the absolute path; set -e killed the script at 127 *after* the
  maps were rebuilt, so screenshots silently stayed a day old.
- the facade kit applies to every Frontage_*/North_* actor, so it pasted its own
  language over the new modelled facades; it now skips them, and the trim stages as
  RetailTrim_*.
- pure bay arithmetic moved to Tools/_common.py so it is unit-testable without
  Blender (4 new tests, 82 total pass).

Known gaps recorded in Screenshots/README.md, not hidden: the parapet reads as a
blank band, murals and lettering do not resolve at review distance, the tower is a
plain cylinder, and the review camera crops the east end.

- Banners sit on the column line rather than flush to the wall (they hang on the columns in the photographs, so this is acceptable).
- Between kerb and building line the walkable surface is the terrain mesh, not a modelled pavement.
- The El Capitan Theatre has no marquee or blade sign yet — the feature that makes it read as itself.
## 0.1.6 retail frontage — what to look at
Shot 5 is the review shot for this pass. Read it against
`Art/reference/retail-neighbours/01-lee-drug-and-neighbor.jpg` (Gb321, CC BY-SA 4.0).
Known gaps in this first pass, recorded rather than hidden:
- **The parapet reads as a blank white band.** It is modelled as one 2.18 m wall with four
0.10 m reveal strips, and at review distance the strips disappear into the wash.
- **The mural row and lettering band barely read.** They are shallow plates (0.06–0.08 m) on
the same plane as the wall; they need either depth or a decal before they read as the
photographs' black-framed panels.
- **The corner tower is a plain cylinder with two cap rings** — the stepped Deco profile in the
photograph is richer than that.
- **The camera crops the east end** of Lee Drug at 68° from the north sidewalk.
- **6822 Budget is untouched** and still a bare blockout volume: no photograph of it exists.
