Optimize honeycomb sigil rendering with lightweight glyphs

[kojibai]

Motivation

• Reduce load and paint cost of the Sigil Honeycomb explorer by avoiding the heavy per-cell sigil renderer and proof work.
• Present small glyphs using simple color and shape so the comb is fast to render while preserving chakra tint cues.
• Keep visual parity (shape + tint) without full SVG/glyph computation to restore the explorer's snappy feel.
• Limit runtime work and memory used for rendering thousands of hex cells.

Description

• Replaced the heavy KaiSigil rendering inside honeycomb cells with a lightweight placeholder element by removing the import and usage from SigilHoneycombExplorer.tsx and rendering a div.sigilHexGlyphSimple instead.
• Removed the deferred render cache (SIGIL_RENDER_CACHE) and the useDeferredSigilRender scheduling logic to simplify rendering logic and eliminate idle-callback scheduling.
• Updated SigilHoneycomb.css to add .sigilHexGlyphSimple styling and chakra tint variables (e.g. .chakra-root, .chakra-sacral, etc.) to show colored, clipped shapes with a small drop shadow instead of full glyph SVGs.
• Changes are contained to src/components/SigilExplorer/SigilHoneycombExplorer.tsx and src/components/SigilExplorer/SigilHoneycomb.css and preserve existing selection/interaction behavior.

Testing

• Started the dev server with npm run dev -- --host 0.0.0.0 --port 4173 and the server started successfully.
• Ran a Playwright script to load http://127.0.0.1:4173/explorer and capture a screenshot which completed successfully.
• No unit tests or TypeScript build runs were triggered as part of this rollout.
• Manual visual verification was captured via the screenshot artifact produced during the run.

Remove stray closing brace to avoid CSS parse failure

There is an unmatched } after .chakra-unknown; Vite/PostCSS treats this as a CSS syntax error, which can fail the build or cause subsequent rules (like .sigilHex:hover) to be dropped. This will surface when running the dev server or build pipeline that parses CSS strictly, so the extra brace should be removed to keep the stylesheet valid.
