jpmschweitzerandClaude Opus 4.6 8eb9e0a383 feat(ui): star map click-through with wiki/GTTR popup and edge visibility 
Show system profile popup on select: name, star type, hop distance,
corridor, GTTR excerpt, body count, population, adjacent systems.
Edge rendering changed to show no edges by default, only selected
system's gate lines on click. Star map data extended with wiki fields
for all 301 systems.

Ticket: #780
