zwitschi 8993fd83c4 feat(body): pose the arms down, add a front-angle shot
The character now stands with its arms at its sides instead of in a bind A-pose,
and there is a second camera to prove it: the third-person shot only ever showed
the pawn's back, so a front-facing pose defect was invisible in review.

  demo-third-person-front  camera on the road, ~6 m in front, looking back north
                           at the pawn; embedded in Screenshots/README.md as shot 7.

The pose work itself is a chain of measured findings, all recorded in TODO.md:

- clip data is exported relative to the REST pose, so arms-down offsets held only in
  the keys arrived as a ±20 degree swing around an A bind;
- a rest-pose bake alone does not move the mesh: the MPFB mesh has shape keys, the
  armature modifier cannot be applied while they exist, and the vertices stayed in
  the A shape (X span unchanged at 1.051 m). Clearing the shape keys, baking the
  deformation into the vertices and re-binding is what made bind and clips agree.

Not settled, and left as an open item rather than a claim: the base pose uses
inverted signs to compensate for the FBX axis mapping, the upper arms clip into the
torso, and the fingers splay. An aim-based pose module was written and then removed
- applied without the vertex bake it produced arms raised in a V, and a half-working
shared module is worse than none. The proper solve is 0.2.2: apply the standing pose
at character creation, then author clips against that bind.
