feat(theatre): marquee canopy and blade sign; fix two placement bugs

Tools/theatre_trim_build.py builds the El Capitan Theatre's signature features in
world coordinates - projecting marquee (12.0 x 2.60 m canopy, 4.60 m soffit),
illuminated fascia, recessed soffit, vertical blade sign (1.30 x 5.20 m) with frame
and bracket - with a JSON part report. Tools/ue_stage_theatre_trim.py imports and
stages one actor per piece with site materials, clearing a previous run first.

Two bugs, neither visible in a render:
- Axis sign: Blender +Y is Unreal -Y, so the theatre face at Unreal Y +1001 is
  Blender Y -10.01; using +10.01 mirrored the marquee across the boulevard.
- Absolute Z: trim heights ignored the 4.56 m pavement, leaving the canopy 5 cm above
  the ground. GROUND_Z now offsets every height.

QA wall probe: the Y 1000 scan row sat ~1 cm from the building line and grazed the
theatre wall after the kit's proud shopfronts; rows now sample the street envelope
only. Packaged QA back to PASS (transect 0 holes, wall probe 0/35, facade probe 0/9).
Screenshots re-rendered and verified 4/4.

- [A] **Replace placeholder materials.** **In progress 2026-11-09.** `ensure_material()` now builds masonry coursing (world-space course height + joint band + tint, corrected for UE's centimetre WorldPosition) and roughness variation; new `M_FacadeStoneShadow`, `M_FacadeGlass` (specular 0.62 ≈ IOR 1.5 without a refraction pass) and `M_FacadeBanner`; assignment is per **slot** keyed on the imported slot name (it was slot-0 only, which on the hero is the banner, so stone/glass/shadow were still flat). Hero: 4/4 slots, frontage and north buildings 2/2. Remaining: bake real texture maps (brick/stone/asphalt generators) rather than graph-only detail, and give the frontage shopfront line its own material.
- [x] **Give OSM buildings a façade style.** **Closed as superseded 2026-11-09.** The Blosm `setupScript` route would build a second, competing façade system next to the module kit defined in the previous task. The kit already gives every staged building a real elevation (shopfront line, window rhythm, pilasters, cornice, parapet) from a single module, so a Blosm style script would duplicate it with a different vocabulary and a different set of assumptions. Revisit only if the kit cannot express a building the photographs demand.
- [ ] **Hero façade detail pass.** Ionic capitals and fluting, the parapet motto band and medallions as geometry or decal, window rhythm behind the colonnade, and the three portal flights at their photographed proportions.

Two bugs fixed en route: the trim was mirrored to the far side of the boulevard (Blender +Y is Unreal −Y) and the marquee sat 5 cm above the pavement (absolute Z where the pavement is 4.56 m above the datum). **Still open:** the retail neighbours modelled from the 18-frame reference set.
