The camera holds still: the ball-follow lean zeroed on Oliver's verdict

The flattened body curve stays (farK 0.25 — 'really good, helped a ton'); the
broadcast lean was 'distracting' and its knobs sit at 0 like the aimCam pair.
The plumbing stays for the T panel. PROJECT.md: farK is now a settled feel
decision.

## Settled feel decisions — do not regress silently
- **Far bodies draw off a flattened scale curve; the camera holds still.** `TUNE.farK` 0.25
(render.js `farB`): the court projects true, bodies grow toward the far baseline (~20% at the
back), anchored so the near player never changes. Oliver: *"new perspective is really good —
helped a ton."* The ball-follow lean built alongside it (`farCamY`/`farCamZ`) was vetoed the
same day — *"the camera movement is distracting"* — and sits at 0 like the aimCam pair: every
camera-motion experiment on this game has now lost to a still camera.
- **Two-stage serve**: touch = reticle, drag = aim, release = fire, drag back under `pullMin` =
cancel. The pull's DIRECTION picks the lane, its LENGTH is power — deliberately decoupled so a
far shambler never costs a longer drag than the screen has.

measured ceiling — see fitViewport) and world height were the only knobs he knew. Two new ones.
VERDICT (same day): the scale curve is settled-in (*"really good — helped a ton"*), the lean was
vetoed (*"the camera movement is distracting"*) and its knobs sit at 0 — see the settled list:
- **`TUNE.farK` — bodies draw off a flattened scale curve, the court projects true.** The 16-bit
tennis trick: `s' = s·(sNear/s)^farK`, anchored at the player's deepest stance (he is untouched),
