Brian Fertig a8246bb594 Place anchored jump gates on a 3500–4990 px band around their anchor
- Replace the fixed level-1 tether radius (5120 px) with a configurable
  `anchorMinDistance`/`anchorMaxDistance` band (default 3500–4990), capped by
  the tether range, so gate distance from its planet varies per gate while
  staying strictly < 5000 px.
- Generate candidate positions on 8 discrete radius steps spanning the band;
  a seeded preferred step orders them and clearance/gap pressure only pushes
  the gate outward from its preference.
- Update the tether check in `dev/jumps.test.mjs` to assert the gate sits
  within the anchor band rather than merely under the tether radius, and use
  the band max for facing-side calculations.
- Update `dev/tether-rules.audit.mjs` Rule 1 to verify < 5000 px and report
  the distribution of gate→anchor distances across the band.
- Refresh comments in `data/gates.json`, `docs/PROJECT_NOTES.md`, and
  `SystemGenerator.js` to describe the new band-based placement.
