asc_credits — ASCENSION: the title and the credit cards

Controls the words: "RAISING PRESEED" over the cloud sea and the three credit lines that cross-fade beneath it, all written in points of light — the same motes that rise from the valley, gathered into constellations.

Owns

• CREDITS — the schedule (at, text) for the three cards.
• FONT — the 5×7 dot-matrix glyph set.
• textDots — text → world-space dot positions, centred, fixed 6-cell advance.
• dotMesh — dots → one static mesh of diamonds, four verts each.
• The title and credit materials, and the emissive ramp that fades each card in and out (FADE, TAIL).

Reads from the orchestrator

duration — the part's length. The last card has no successor to hand off to, so it starts leaving at duration - TAIL. This is the only value that crosses into this aspect.

Boundaries

• CREDITS, st.credMats and st.credEnts are index-parallel. Adding a card means adding to CREDITS only; the other two are built from it.
• Cards are shown and hidden by teleporting the entity between the origin and y = -2000, not by toggling visibility.
• The diamonds are built in the world XY plane with a hard-coded (0,0,1) normal — they are not billboards, so they foreshorten as the last two shots arc across and tilt up.
• The font has no lowercase and is missing F H J K Q V W X and most digits; an unmapped character contributes no dots and silently leaves a gap.
• Card timings are hand-typed against a 192 BPM grid (BAR = 1.25 s) they do not land on.
