* mechanical: give the end plates a Blue soldermask stackup The end-plate PCBs had no physical stackup, so KiCad exported them with the default green soldermask. Add a 2-layer stackup with front/back mask set to the named "Blue" preset, summing to the existing 1.6 mm so board thickness / fit is unchanged. This makes the plates export blue-dominant so the viewer's soldermask recolour treats them the same as the main board. * feat(viewer): part toggles, upright orientation, Turn Island navy, even lighting Grow the mechanical fit-check viewer into an interactive, correctly-coloured one: - Part toggles: show/hide enclosure, main board, front/rear end plate. Rebuilt on pinned three.js r148 (model-viewer has no per-node visibility API); a checkbox flips object.visible on each part's prefixed nodes. Libraries inlined via a runtime import map -- no bundler, fully offline. - Upright orientation (180 deg roll), click-to-set-pivot, and a header showing the git hash and branch as links (new --repo-url, fed from the CI environment). - Board colour: assemble_glb recolours the blue soldermask to the Turn Island navy (KiCad's "Blue" preset exports a brighter cornflower); detection targets only the matte, blue-dominant mask material. The material is identical on every face, so the viewer lighting is set to an orientation-independent rig (soft key + strong ambient + damped environment) so every face reads the same navy. - Checkbox reload-sync: autocomplete="off" + re-apply each box's state on load so the model always matches the checkboxes after a refresh. Colour is applied downstream of KiCad (in the assembler) rather than as a custom hex stackup colour, because the pinned KiBot image does not accept hex soldermask colours; the KiCad stackup stays on the named "Blue" preset. The board STEP therefore still carries KiCad's plain colour -- STEP and viewer intentionally differ for now.

Full-severity ERC/DRC surfaced 22 lib_symbol_mismatch + 5 lib_footprint_mismatch warnings from cached copies drifting off the library master. Reconciled and verified against the schematic and board: - Symbol caches: refresh 8 cap/diode symbols whose embedded footprint field was stale (PAD_0603 -> C_0603); instances and PCB already used C_0603. - SMA (J1-J4): push the board's tuned 3D-model offset/rotate into the library master and re-save it in KiCad 10 format; fix J1 LCSC C2874826 -> C914558 in schematic and board (J1 was an error, not a variant). - U.FL (J10): re-save library footprint in v10 to match the routed board. Result: ERC 0, DRC 0 (errors + warnings).

Closes #53. Addresses #28, #29. Touches #25 (SMA part) and #43 (J10 U.FL local

against the actual ERC/DRC reports post-merge — not assumed fixed.
