Subject: [PATCH 1/2] feat(training): implement Meyer's Square visual workflow

- Add `MeyerSequence`, `MeyerNode`, and `TechniqueType` structs to `src/resources.rs`.
- Define the 4 concentric 4-strike sequences based on historical data in `src/constants.rs`.
- Introduce `TrainingWorkflow` enum to toggle between `Circular` and `MeyerSquare` modes.
- Implement UI toggle in `src/ui/settings.rs` and `workflow_toggle_system` in `src/ui/systems.rs`.
- Refactor target rendering to hide circular targets when Meyer's Square mode is active.
- Render the Meyer's Square geometric grid and "Ghost of Meyer" visual signatures (Cut, Thrust, Parry) using Bevy gizmos in `src/ui/systems.rs`.
- Implement sequence logic to cycle through nodes and sequences based on rhythm duration in `src/logic.rs`.
- Add unit tests for Meyer sequence logic in `src/logic_test.rs`.

Subject: [PATCH 2/2] fix(ui): adjust Meyer's Square visual highlight scales

- Update `render_meyer_square` in `src/ui/systems.rs` to ensure Cut and Thrust visual lines span to the edges of the outermost bounding square, regardless of the active node's concentric ring (calculated using coordinate signum).
- Update the Parry (Shield) block to fill the entire quadrant of the bounding square instead of just a small box at the exact node coordinate.

-# Track: Meyer's Square Workflow Implementation
-
-## Overview
-This track implements a second training workflow based on the 16th-century **Meyer's Square** (Carre Meyer) diagram. It replaces the circular 8-point system with a four-quadrant concentric grid. The interaction is **purely visual**, where a "Ghost of Meyer" guide indicates the path and technique (cut, thrust, parry) the user should execute.
-
-## Functional Requirements
-### 1. Geometric Grid (Meyer's Square)
-- Render a four-quadrant system with a stark bounding square and a thick central cross.
-- Implement 16 target nodes arranged in four concentric square sequences (Outer, Outer-Mid, Inner-Mid, Inner).
-- Each sequence consists of a 4-strike order crossing through the central intersection.
-
-### 2. "Ghost of Meyer" Visual Guidance
-- Implement a **Temporal Kinetic Guide** (the "Ghost") that provides visual-only cues:
-    - **Slash (Cut)**: A high-intensity "Kinetic Slash" traveling from start to end with a decaying "blade-width" trail.
-    - **Beam (Thrust)**: A sharp, narrow "Focus Beam" telescoping outward from the center/previous node to the next.
-    - **Shield (Parry)**: A "Static Shield" or "Block" that appears on a line, strobing/blinking to signal a defensive hold.
-- Distinguish the four sequences using **Glow Intensity** and pulse frequency rather than color.
-
-### 3. Training Logic (Technique Mode)
-- The system cycles through the 16 nodes in their defined sequences.
-- The "Ghost" changes shape (Slash, Beam, Shield) to signal the required technique for the next strike.
-- No keyboard interaction required; the session is a continuous visual drill.
-
-### 4. UI/UX Transitions
-- Add a "Workflow" toggle in the Settings panel to switch between `Circular` and `Meyer Square`.
-- The UI should adapt the "Active Canvas" to display either the circular targets or the geometric Meyer grid.
-
-## Non-Functional Requirements
-- **Performance**: Maintain smooth rendering of the "Ghost" paths and trails in Bevy.
-- **Aesthetic**: Adhere to the "Kinetic Brutalism" style (high contrast, emissive red glow, sharp lines).
-
-## Acceptance Criteria
-- [ ] User can switch between Circular and Meyer Square workflows in Settings.
-- [ ] Meyer Square grid renders correctly with 16 nodes and central cross.
-- [ ] "Ghost of Meyer" correctly visualizes Slash, Beam, and Shield techniques.
-- [ ] The sequences follow the historically accurate 4x4 strike patterns.
-- [ ] Training session progresses purely visually without keyboard input.
-
-## Out of Scope
-- Keyboard input for Meyer's Square (visual-only MVP).
-- Custom sequence creation (using historical sequences only).
