Remove the peripheral sector (100° half-angle, reduced range) and blind
spot classification. The server now sends only tiles within the 120°
forward cone; the client renders previously-explored tiles behind the
player with a light fog overlay instead.
This eliminates complexity in both the cone classifier and the snapshot
protocol while preserving the core information asymmetry — you still
can't see behind you, and the monologue system (D-016) still bridges
the perceptual gap.

- Visible half-angle 150° → 100° (200° arc), matching average human
binocular field. Blind spot widens from 60° to 160° — genuine
vulnerability behind the character.
- Forward half-angle stays at 60° (120° arc) — binocular overlap zone.
- Peripheral zone represents combined sensory awareness: visual
periphery + subconscious sound/motion tracking, not just eyes.
- Per-character VisionConeConfig allows implants and perception modes
(D-017) to widen beyond the unaugmented baseline.
- Fog shader: smooth back-edge gradient via smoothstep blend between
Layer 2 (peripheral) and Layer 3 (deep fog), eliminating blocky
stair-stepped tiles at the rear of the vision cone.
- D-015 updated with physiological basis and per-character config.
- D-017 updated with vision cone modification by perception modes.
- D-020 updated with protocol versioning policy: PROTOCOL_VERSION
gates wire format, not gameplay parameters.
- DB backup after sprint 21 close.

Formatting pass across simulation, perception, knowledge, NPC, and
test modules. Includes two clippy fixes in monologue.rs (.values()
instead of for (_, v) pattern).

Implement direction-dependent visibility modulation per D-015.
Forward cone (~120 deg) at full range, peripheral (~180 deg each side)
at reduced range, blind spot (~60 deg behind) excluded. Facing component
updated on player movement via facing_from_delta.
