feat(rendering): port retail building degrade walk

Add exact retail building degrade selection, shared FPS/degrade ownership, complete-body gating, selected-shell submission, ordinary ladder mesh residency, frame-scoped retry rearm, Config controls, installed-DAT census, and lifecycle/allocation proofs.

Reviews: OpenAI retail pass 3 PASS; OpenAI production pass 5 PASS. Gates: Release 0W/0E; focused 285/285; hermetic 16811/16811; InstalledDat 469 pass, 10 documented fail, 1 documented skip; both manifests 30/30.
