RELEASE · v6 · fixed camera · particles-only motion

View stays still — particles move (no zoom / no camera orbit).
Expression slider — shape + colour + flow strength (not “zoom”: whole-scene scale is fixed).
Two-layer render: sharp stars + soft halo that swells on bass/bloom (volume/light, not camera zoom).
