The previous synthetic procedural demo did not represent what the local
fusion pipeline produces — a real depth-backprojected point cloud of
the user's face and surroundings. This commit ports the closest browser
equivalent: MediaPipe Face Mesh runs in-browser at ~30 fps and emits
478 3D landmarks per frame. Each visitor now sees the outline of their
own face rendered as a point cloud, with a small floor + back wall for
spatial context.
- Adds MediaPipe Face Mesh + Camera Utils via jsdelivr CDN.
- Adds an "▶ Enable camera" CTA so getUserMedia is gated on a user
gesture (required by some browsers and good UX regardless).
- New face-mesh frame generator uses the same splat shape as the live
/api/splats payload, so a single render path drives both modes.
- Mirrors x to match selfie convention; maps lm.z (relative depth) to
the world-coord range used by the live pipeline.
- Falls back automatically to the procedural floor + walls + figure
when the camera is denied, dismissed, or unavailable.
- Badge surfaces the new state: '● DEMO Your Face (MediaPipe)'.
- Bumps poll cadence to 4 Hz so face mesh updates feel live.
- ADR-094 updated to reflect the new default behavior.

Publishes the live 3D point cloud viewer to gh-pages/pointcloud/ so it
can be linked from the README alongside the Observatory and Dual-Modal
Pose Fusion demos. The viewer auto-selects its transport from URL
parameters:
- default / ?backend=auto — try /api/splats, fall back to synthetic demo
- ?backend=demo — synthetic in-browser only, no network
- ?backend=<url> — fetch from a CORS-permitting host running
ruview-pointcloud serve
- ?live=1 — strict mode, show offline panel instead of demo fallback
The synthetic frame matches the live API JSON shape (splats, count,
frame, live, pipeline.{skeleton,vitals}) so a single render path drives
both modes. New workflow uses keep_files: true to preserve the existing
observatory/, pose-fusion/, and nvsim/ deployments on gh-pages.
See docs/adr/ADR-094-pointcloud-github-pages-deployment.md for the full
decision record and 6 acceptance gates.
