The band became one axis: fitted plates, and cards that travel

Every transient message — milestone card, RESUMING clock, one-line flash — now
centres its ink on CARD_MID and only one is ever up. Three shared pieces do all
of it: inkSpan measures, plate() sizes the fill to what it holds, slideDraw
swipes it in from the left and off to the right with a four-ghost smear sampled
back along its own easing curve.

- weapon card is icon + name + count, one centred row, no prose
- plain cards centre as a block instead of hanging off the band's top edge
- the clock left the net for the band; it takes over when a card or flash clears
- band moved up 20px into the flash's old row, which it can now that they never
  draw together
- hold times +0.8s: the swipe eats ~0.55s that the old numbers didn't budget for
