docs: amend Constitution Principle II for tsc --noEmit

- Constitution II: permit `tsc --noEmit` with allowJs/checkJs as a
  CI/dev-time check and encourage JSDoc + `// @ts-check`; emit-mode
  TypeScript, .ts/.tsx source, JSX, frameworks, and bundlers stay
  forbidden in core. Bump version 1.0.0 -> 1.1.0.
- Constitution IV: add static/slopsmith.d.ts to the stable-contract
  surface -- breaking changes need a "Migration notes" CHANGELOG entry.
- CHANGELOG: note the typecheck step + ambient .d.ts under [Unreleased].
- CLAUDE.md: point the Frontend Conventions section at slopsmith.d.ts
  as the typed plugin-contract source of truth.

 - **Perf**: reduce per-frame allocations in the 2D highway chord + lyric render paths. `_ensureChordRenderCache` now also caches `sortedNotes` / `nonZeroNotes` / `nonZeroFrets` / `allMuted` / `hasMultipleNotes` (computed once per chord, invalidated on `src` / `_inverted` / `chordTemplates` change — the third key catches a stale `isOpen`-derived classification when the WS `chord_templates` message lands after the final `chords` chunk), so `drawChords` no longer re-sorts / re-filters / spreads min-max per visible chord per frame. The in-chord unison bend classification is folded inline (no `chordPositions.filter` × 2 per frame). `drawLyrics` memoizes `ctx.measureText` results in a two-level `Map<fontSize, Map<text, width>>` so cache hits don't allocate a composite string key. Lit-sustain shimmer in `drawSustains` swaps the 4 per-note-per-frame `Math.random()` calls for a 64-entry precomputed jitter LUT (xorshift32-seeded — the LUT contents are reload-stable and test-reproducible; rendered shimmer is deterministic per `createHighway()` instance, since the seed includes that instance's `_frameIdx`) indexed by `(frameIdx + n.s + ⌊n.t·60⌋)`, visually indistinguishable and allocation-free.
 
 ### Added
+- Optional JS type checking via `tsc --noEmit`. Added a `static/slopsmith.d.ts` ambient declaration file — the typed source of truth for the plugin-facing contract (`window.slopsmith`, `window.highway`, the highway WebSocket message shape, the `setRenderer` visualization contract, the keyboard-shortcut API) — plus a `tsconfig.json`, a `typecheck` npm script, and a CI step. TypeScript is a dev-only devDependency: no build/emit step, no runtime dependency, every shipped `.js` file stays byte-identical. Core `.js` files opt in individually with a `// @ts-check` directive (currently `static/app.js` and `static/highway.js`); files without it are unaffected.
 - **Player progression: Mastery Rank, instrument-path challenges, daily/weekly quests, Decibels currency, cosmetics shop (spec 010).** Onboarding gains two steps: pick one or more **instrument paths** (Guitar / Bass / Drums — data-driven, more can ship as content) and a **calibration challenge** offer (play the bundled Slopsmith Diagnostic with note detection at 100% accuracy — or skip; either way you reach **Mastery Rank 1**, and a skipped calibration can still be completed later from the Progress screen). Each path levels by completing a content-defined number of **challenges** (any order) from that level's set; Mastery Rank = onboarding rank + the sum of path levels, starting at 0 on a fresh install. The existing unified XP backend is untouched but the frontend renames it to **Decibels (dB)** — a spendable currency earned ONLY by playing (songs, FeedBarcade rounds, quest rewards; no real-money path exists or may be added) — with spend tracked in a separate wallet so lifetime earnings stay monotonic. Rotating **daily/weekly quests** (deterministic per period, lazy instantiation, local-midnight / Monday resets) award dB and feed `quest_completed` challenges. A new **Progress** screen (rank hero, per-path checklists, quest countdowns, add-a-path) and **Shop** screen (themes via CSS-variable swaps under `html[data-fb-theme]`, avatar frames; atomic balance-checked purchases — 402 on insufficient dB, 409 on re-buy) join the v3 nav, and the topbar badge now shows Rank + challenge-set progress + dB balance. All definitions live in `data/progression/` JSON (paths/levels/challenges, quest pools, shop catalog) — adding a rank, challenge, quest, or cosmetic is a content edit + restart, never code; invalid content degrades to logged warnings. New tables (additive + idempotent): `progression_state`, `player_paths`, `challenge_progress`, `quest_state`, `wallet`, `shop_owned`, `shop_equipped`. New endpoints: `GET /api/progression`, `POST /api/progression/paths|onboarding|events` (events whitelists `minigame_run`; `song_completed` stays server-derived inside `POST /api/stats`, which now resolves the instrument server-side and reports an additive `progression` outcome key), `GET /api/shop`, `POST /api/shop/buy|equip`; equipped cosmetics ride along on `GET /api/profile`. A new **`progression` capability domain** (core-owned, kind: command, safety: safe — `inspect`, `record-event`, `list-shop`, `buy-item`/`equip-item` gated on user action) emits `challenge-completed`/`quest-completed`/`path-level-up`/`rank-changed`/`db-changed`/`calibration-completed`/`cosmetic-equipped`, mirrored as `progression:*` window events, with a redaction-safe diagnostics contributor; backend plugins get the symmetric `record_progression_event` context hook (the bundled minigames hub reports runs through it, guarded for standalone). Spec: `specs/010-progression-domain/`. Tests: `tests/test_progression.py`, `tests/test_progression_api.py`. **Migration notes:** existing XP totals carry over as lifetime dB (balance = lifetime − spent); resetting a per-source XP contribution (e.g. a minigames profile reset) after spending can clamp the spendable balance to 0 until new dB is earned; drums-path v1 content uses currently-satisfiable goals (arcade rounds, quests, any-instrument plays) until drums scoring lands.
 - **3D highway score FX (notedetect game-scoring layer).** The bundled `highway_3d` renderer now visualizes the scoring layer shipped in slopsmith-plugin-notedetect ≥1.13: floating **"+N" score pops** above each judged gem (sourced from the note-state provider's new `{ points, mult, popKey }` verdict fields — chord members share the chord-level `popKey`, so a chord pops once, not once per string), plus session-level FX from the new `notedetect:fx` event — a particle burst at the strike line on streak milestones (25/50/every 100), an expanding ring pulse on multiplier tier-ups (×2/×3/×4), and a brief red wash when a ≥10 streak breaks. Colors and the pop font follow the user's notedetect scoring-UI skin (`slopsmith_notedetect_skin`: neon/esports/metal, refreshed live on the `notedetect:skin` bus event). Everything renders on the existing 2D overlay canvas from fixed-size slot pools — no Three.js geometry, no text-sprite cache traffic, near-zero cost when idle — and degrades to a silent no-op with older notedetect builds (the new fields/events simply never arrive). Splitscreen panels scope FX to their own detector instance via the bubbling per-panel `notedetect:fx` dispatch. `plugins/highway_3d` v3.24.1.
 - **3D highway: slide direction arrows + gem-follow animation.** Slide notes now show a ›/‹ arrow indicating which way the slide goes — on the note/gem itself, as an early preview on the neck before the note arrives, and (optionally) chained further ahead for multi-leg slides — each independently toggleable in Settings → 3D Highway (`slideArrowApproachVisible`, `slideArrowNeckVisible`, `slideArrowChainPreviewVisible`). The note gem also now visually glides from its starting fret to the slide's destination over the note's sustain and holds there through the brief post-sustain linger, instead of snapping back to the starting fret — most noticeable on unpitched "slide to nothing" notes. `plugins/highway_3d` v3.25.2.

 - **Styling** — Tailwind CSS utility classes, dark theme (`bg-dark-600`, `text-gray-300`, accent `#4080e0`, gold `#e8c040`). Tailwind is served as a **prebuilt** stylesheet (`static/tailwind.min.css`, regenerated by `bash scripts/build-tailwind.sh`), **never** the runtime Play CDN — the CDN's on-the-fly JIT rescanned the DOM on the main thread and dropped ~26% of frames with the 3D highway (slopsmith-desktop#110). The committed CSS only contains classes the build scanner saw, so CI (`tailwind-fresh`) rebuilds and diffs it; run the build script and commit when you add new classes. A plugin that uses classes not guaranteed in core (notably arbitrary values like `w-[37px]`) MUST ship its own compiled stylesheet via the `styles` manifest key, built with `corePlugins.preflight = false` (utilities only — core ships the one base reset). Plugins MUST NOT load the Tailwind Play CDN or any runtime CSS JIT. See constitution Principle II.
 - **Naming** — camelCase for JS functions, kebab-case for CSS classes, snake_case for plugin IDs
 - **Player layout** — `#player` is `display:flex; flex-direction:column; position:fixed; inset:0`. `#highway` is `flex:1`. `#player-controls` sits at the bottom. Hiding the highway collapses the layout — use `margin-top: auto` on controls if you need to hide it.
+- **Plugin contract types** — the plugin-facing JS surface (`window.slopsmith`, `window.highway`, the highway WebSocket message shape, the `setRenderer` contract, the keyboard-shortcut API) is declared in `static/slopsmith.d.ts`. That file is the typed source of truth — consult it for exact signatures, and update it when you change a contract. Core `.js` files opt into checking with a `// @ts-check` directive on line 1; `npm run typecheck` (`tsc --noEmit`, dev/CI-only) verifies them. No build or emit step — the shipped files are plain JS.
