SYNTH-218

Onboarding users onto the new UI. Helping them navigate through using Synthesis and understand the different parts of the simulator.
Certain onboarding modules block clicking anything on the screen except the TourCard itself.

Note

Onboarding is only for the first time you open the simulator. To see it, you must clear your preferences.

In addition, this PR adds the new Library modal. This modal sorts each robot and field by year in addition to adding their thumbnails.

Thread structured per-asset `year` and optional `thumbnail` from the
manifest through to cached assets so the asset library can group and
preview assets:

- Widen the manifest schema (ManifestFileEntry) with year/thumbnail.
- Derive year (parsed from filenames at build time) and resolve a
  sibling thumbnail path in update_manifest.ts.
- Expose both on DefaultAssetInfo, resolving the thumbnail to a
  servable URL.
- Persist them onto MirabufCacheInfo via cacheRemote/storeInCache so
  downloaded assets retain the metadata; older cached entries still
  deserialize since the fields are optional.
Replace the docked ImportMirabufPanel with a large centered LibraryModal
that lists assets by competition year, matching the Figma design:

- Year tabs (descending, with an "Other" tab for undated assets) over a
  card grid that merges each year's robots and field, with thumbnail
  placeholders, a cached badge, and spawn/download/delete affordances.
- Keep Saved (cached), Autodesk Hub (APS), and Import-from-File as
  secondary sections so no functionality is lost.
- Extract spawnCachedMira and the remote/APS/download-all flows into a
  shared librarySpawnActions module.
- Migrate all call sites from openPanel to openModal; drop the Library
  from the panel mutual-exclusion group and replicate the
  block-spawn-while-configuring guard in openModal; defer the
  Import<->Library handoff a tick to avoid the single-modal clobber.
- Advance the onboarding tour on a new modal-open trigger and update the
  step copy to reference year tabs.

Encapsulate the APS state, event subscriptions, and spawn handler in
AutodeskHubAccordion so the Library body only deals with default/cached
assets. Also fix DownloadButton using the delete icon.
The deployed manifest had no year fields, so every asset fell into the
single 'Other' tab. Regenerate the asset pack with update_manifest.ts to
write year (and thumbnail) metadata, and fix the script's basepath case
(Mira -> mira) so it targets the actual served directory on case-sensitive
filesystems.
…previews

Fusion embeds a 250x250 PNG thumbnail in every mira file's metadata, which
was going unused (per rutmanz's PR note). Extract it at manifest-build time
into a sibling thumbnails/<name>.png and reference it from the manifest, so
library cards show real asset renders instead of placeholder icons. The
assembly is already decoded for GUID/name normalization, so this adds no
extra parsing.

Informational tourcards prevent clicking anything on the screen except
the tourcard itself. This commit also modifies the structure of some
tourcards to help improve the flow of onboarding
Insert a "Set Up Your Assembly" card between "Choose a Robot" and
"Select an Assembly". It points at the Assembly Setup panel and tells the
user to pick an input scheme or press Finish, which auto-assigns the
Ernie (WASD) scheme. The step advances on ConfigurationSavedEvent.

Anchor it to the input-scheme list rather than the panel root, whose
bounding box is widened by the transform gizmo control. Also re-sync the
Popper position in a short burst after an anchored step mounts: the panel
slides in via a CSS transform that fires no resize event, which otherwise
leaves the callout measured against its pre-animation position.
