The reel through your own eyes: first-person replay (stage two)

Sight now runs THROUGH the warps as the rules say: a ray reaching a
mouth re-enters at its pair and marches on, the far side swimming in
violet haze. The floor's furniture joins the scene — bushes stand tall,
safes squat, slime and tacks and pits lie low, dropped daggers glint.
And the replay reel gains a 👁 toggle: relive the catch-up or the whole
tale through your wizard's eyes, the camera turning before it strides,
easing between cells, cutting on teleports, and turning toward whoever
acted while you stood still. The /?fpv workshop grows &demo=1 — two
automatons play a stretch and the real Replay component reruns it.
