Replace MediaRecorder video export with WebCodecs + custom WebM muxer

MediaRecorder/captureStream kept crashing the Chrome renderer
(STATUS_BREAKPOINT). Video is now encoded offline with VideoEncoder
(VP9 with VP8 fallback) and muxed by a dependency-free EBML/Matroska
writer. Adds precise export controls: video fps (24/30/60), exact
length (1-8 loops or 5-60s), and a GIF loop-forever/play-once toggle.

## Export
- **PNG** up to 3840×2160, rendered offscreen at full quality.
- **Video** (WebM VP8/VP9) rendered frame-by-frame at 30 fps for 14 loops. Uses manual canvas capture instead of realtime 60 fps streaming, which avoids browser crashes on heavy WebGL shaders.
- **GIF** rendered deterministically frame by frame, encoded in-page with a dependency-free GIF89a encoder (median-cut palette + ordered dithering), infinite loop flag set.
- **Video** (WebM VP9/VP8) encoded offline with **WebCodecs** (`VideoEncoder`) and muxed by a built-in dependency-free WebM writer — no `MediaRecorder`, no realtime capture, no tab crashes. Configurable fps (24/30/60), resolution (720p1440p) and exact length (18 loops or 560 seconds).
- **GIF** rendered deterministically frame by frame, encoded in-page with a dependency-free GIF89a encoder (median-cut palette + ordered dithering). Loop forever or play once.
