/* SOLID CITY — epistles.xyz/city (MVP, 2026-10-09)
 * Client-side only: a red/black/gold city on a ~64 km procedural island chain
 * (a nod to the Big Island), chunked quadtree LOD terrain, curved-planet shader,
 * floating origin, sky/stars/galaxy, orbit layer, walking + arcade spaceship,
 * SABLE NPC (login-gated, via /api/city/sable -> existing SABLE route).
 * Solidivism rule kept: everything visible near the ground is solid (colliders).
