Kpa-clawbot 0a9a4c4223 feat(live + packets): color packet markers by hash (#946) (#948)
## Summary

Implements #946 — deterministic HSL coloring of packet markers by hash
for visual propagation tracing.

### What's new

1. **`public/hash-color.js`** — Pure IIFE
(`window.HashColor.hashToHsl(hashHex, theme)`) deriving hue from first 2
bytes of packet hash. Theme-aware lightness with WCAG ≥3.0 contrast
against `--content-bg` (`#f4f5f7` light / `#0f0f23` dark,
`style.css:32,55`). Green/yellow zone (hue 45°-195°) uses L=30% in light
theme to maintain contrast.

2. **Live page dots + contrails** — `drawAnimatedLine` fills the flying
dot and tints the contrail polyline with the hash-derived HSL when
toggle is ON. Ghost-hop dots remain grey (`#94a3b8`). Matrix mode path
(`drawMatrixLine`) is untouched.

3. **Packets table stripe** — `border-left: 4px solid <hsl>` on `<tr>`
in both `buildGroupRowHtml` (group + child rows) and `buildFlatRowHtml`.
Absent when toggle OFF.

4. **Toggle UI** — "Color by hash" checkbox in `#liveControls` between
Realistic and Favorites. Default ON. Persisted to
`localStorage('meshcore-color-packets-by-hash')`. Dispatches `storage`
event for cross-tab sync. Packets page listens and re-renders.

### Performance

- `hashToHsl` is O(1) — two `parseInt` calls + arithmetic. No allocation
beyond the result string.
- Called once per `drawAnimatedLine` invocation (not per animation
frame).
- Packets table: called once per visible row during render (existing
virtualization applies).

### Tests

- `test-hash-color.js`: 16 unit tests — purity, theme split, yellow-zone
clamp, sentinel, variability (anti-tautology gate), WCAG sweep (step 15°
both themes).
- `test-packets.js`: 82 tests still passing (no regression).
- `test-e2e-playwright.js`: 4 new E2E tests — toggle presence/default,
persistence across reload, table stripe present when ON, absent when
OFF.

### Acceptance criteria addressed

All items from spec §6 implemented. TYPE_COLORS retained on
borders/lines. Ghost hops stay grey. Matrix mode suppressed. Cross-tab
storage event dispatched.

Closes #946
