Groundwork for the WorldRenderer extraction: lift the shapes GameWorldView and
ArenaView already draw the same way, before writing a renderer around them.
Four of them turned out to be identical down to the constants - the ship
triangle, the health bar, the debris marker and the sensor-range circle. The
health bar was written three times: once in GameWorldView::drawHpBar and inlined
twice in ArenaView, for stations and for ships.
The argument for sharing is not de-duplication - it is about fifty lines. It is
that the arena exists to eyeball combat, so it only does its job while a ship
there looks like a ship in the game. Retuning the ship shape and having the
balancing tool silently keep the old one is a quiet way to make the tool lie.
Deliberately narrow. The two views differ on selection highlights, beams, target
lines, and all of the factory rendering, and those stay where they are; the
arena has already diverged on some of that and nobody minded, which is a reason
to keep the shared set to shapes that are genuinely the same rather than to
aspire to more. Free functions over explicit values, no state and no simulation,
so each view keeps its own iteration and layer order.
The balancing target does not link the ui library, so it compiles
WorldPrimitives into itself - the mechanism already used for VisualsLoader and
ShipStatsPanel.
Two shared getters come with it: the ship's forward extent, which the selection
ring and health bar are positioned from, and the debris radius, which the debris
selection ring previously tracked via a comment saying "matching drawDebris".
Behaviour is unchanged. WorldRenderer is next and will be built on these.
