chris 6b090b9a0a Pinball: hand-tuned table via a new drag-to-edit dev tool
Added #/pinball-editor — a temporary drag-to-edit layout board (points,
bumpers/posts, flipper pivot+tip, mirror lock, add/delete nodes,
rubber-band multi-select, live JSON export/autosave). Used it to
redesign the table by hand instead of guessing coordinates, then
rebuilt TABLE in pinball.js from the exported layout:

- Real outlane tubes on both sides (inboard of the outer wall) instead
  of a sealed funnel — a ball can miss the flipper and drain, same as
  a real table, verified to have no wedge points.
- Flippers same length, mirrored pivots and rest angle; slingshots and
  outlane tubes are exact mirrors of each other.
- Everything (outlanes, slings, bumpers, posts, flippers) recentred on
  the whole table width — including the shooter lane — rather than
  just the playfield-minus-lane, so it isn't visually lopsided.
- Bumper/post sizes back to a consistent set after some experimentation
  drifted them apart (15/16/15/12/12 and 7/7/8).
- Physics: heavier gravity (was floaty), stronger slingshot kick (the
  rubber wasn't doing anything), eased back down slightly after the
  first pass felt too fast, flipper length is now per-flipper.
- The "gravity only goes down" trap-safety test (added last session)
  now runs against this hand-edited geometry too and passes clean.
