…#74) (#76) * Make grip-sense bar activation read clearly red, not washed-out pink (#74) The grip-sense bar was meant to read white when idle and red when the grip is held, but only the emissive glow changed on activation. Sitting on top of the model's near-white bar material, a saturated grip color (default red) blended out to a faint pink, so the activation was easy to miss. Drive the bar mesh's BASE color from its original (white) toward the grip color while held, lerping back on release. Per-mesh materials are already cloned, and the original color is captured once into material.userData, so this is safe and reversible. A reusable scratch THREE.Color avoids a per-frame allocation.

The #74 white→color base-color lerp (plus the brightness-scaled bar emissive) made the bars flash light→dark and rendered differently on web vs the Electron build. The bars are now left fully static, so activation is shown solely by the glow and both targets render identically. - setGripState now only animates the glow marker opacity (brightness = peak). - Move the glow markers farther out into the handles (gripMarkerSideOffset 0.06 → 0.14) so they sit where the hands grip instead of bunched near center. - Clarify settings wording: "Grip Brightness" → "Grip Glow Brightness", and drop the "bars highlight on touch" / "+ bar highlight" copy so Glow vs Bar reflect the actual behavior.

Per-side materials are cloned so left/right light independently. Driven by setGripBarsVisible, independent of the glow. - Glow rework: the cylinder reads as a real glow again — a band texture that wraps the full circumference (consistent from any angle) and fills most of the length with soft fades at the ends, using normal blending so it stays visible over the light handles (additive vanished over near-white). The Glow Length slider now scales the lit length as expected. - gripMarkerYaw knob (per profile, degrees) angles each glow's bumper/trigger end toward the controller centerline; set to 18 for the Steam Controller. - Decoupled the bar's lit emissive from the Grip Glow Brightness slider (fixed GRIP_BAR_LIT_EMISSIVE) so brightness is glow-only, matching its label. Refreshed all stale "bars are static/cosmetic" docs + tooltips. Also: fix settings dropdowns rendering light text on a white popup on Windows (color-scheme: dark + explicit option colors).
