  "_comment": "COMMAND DECK — the cyberpunk bar across the bottom of the screen (rendered by js/ui/ActionBar.js). Six evenly spaced slots: `buttons` is the ORDERED list — give a slot an `id` (the action it will fire) + `label` + `accent`, or leave both `null` for a reserved slot. Buttons currently fire `onAction` (see GameScene); the behavior behind them comes next. Everything visual is procedural (no image assets) and tunable here: layout in `height`/`margin`/`padding`/`button`, palette in `colors`, CRT scanlines in `scanline`, motion in `animation` (boot flicker, the rail comet, the glitch bursts, the RGB pull-apart).",
