…le pattern - composition.md: add text backdrop (gaussian dark mask behind glyphs) and external layout oracle pattern (browser-based text layout → JSON → Python renderer pipeline for obstacle-aware text reflow) - shaders.md: add reverse vignette shader (center-darkening for text readability) - troubleshooting.md: add diagnostic entries for text-over-busy-background readability and kaleidoscope-destroys-text pitfall

Summary
Adds three new techniques to the ascii-video skill references, discovered during the v0.6.0 release video production:
composition.md): Gaussian dark mask behind text glyph regions to ensure readability over busy multi-grid ASCII backgroundscomposition.md): Architecture for using browser-based text layout engines (e.g. Pretext) to compute obstacle-aware text reflow, exported as JSON and consumed by the Python renderershaders.md): Center-darkening shader (inverse of standard vignette) for creating natural dark zones where centered text appearstroubleshooting.md): Diagnostic rows for text-over-background readability issues and the kaleidoscope-destroys-text pitfall
