Seam Craft — render prerequisites for scene-to-scene transitions

This is the render-correctness doctrine for PLV scene-to-scene seams: the prerequisites and master-timeline mechanics that make any transition composite correctly, independent of which specific transition is chosen. The per-transition catalog (crossfade, push-slide, zoom-through, cut-the-curve, …) lives in the transition registry — this page is the doctrine that sits underneath all of them.

The transitions this doctrine governs are Tier-B-ready: pure transform / opacity / filter on the two scene clip wrappers (#el-<sid>), no injected overlay DOM, no per-scene cooperation. Overlay families (staggered blocks, blinds, light leak, grid dissolve, page burn) and shader transitions are deferred to later phases.
