Rewrite stitch-cameras.py: north-only cylindrical warp + colour matching

- Warp only north cylindrically (sunrise completely unmodified)
- Focal-length grid search picks the best phase-correlation alignment
- Soft validity mask (31x31 erosion) fades out black corners of the warp
- Per-channel colour/exposure match: north's treeline strip mean is scaled
  to match sunrise's, removing the visible sky-colour seam between cameras
- Corrected overlap blend: invalid north pixels fall back to sunrise
  (s_weight = max(alpha, 1-validity)) instead of showing black
- Auto-crops left black-corner columns from the final canvas

"""
Cylindrical panorama stitch.
North faces ~0° azimuth, sunrise faces ~90°. Project both onto the same
cylinder so the NE overlap region appears at the same y-coordinate in both
and the scene is geometrically continuous.
Stitch north (cylindrical warp) + sunrise (unmodified).
Usage:
python3 stitch_cyl.py north.jpg sunrise.jpg out_prefix [focal_px]
focal_px defaults to 1920 (= ~90° HFOV at 3840 px wide).
Try 1300-1920 to span 90°-120° HFOV.
python3 stitch-cameras.py north.jpg sunrise.jpg out_prefix [focal_px]
focal_px: cylindrical focal length in pixels (default: auto-search).
Approx guide: 1920 = ~90° HFOV for a 3840px-wide sensor.
Pipeline
--------
1. Cylindrical-warp north only; sunrise is never modified.
2. Build a soft validity mask for the warped north so black-corner
pixels fade out smoothly.
3. Phase-correlate edge-enhanced treeline strips to find tx, ty.
4. Colour-match north's overlap strip to sunrise's (per-channel gain)
so the two cameras' exposure/WB differences don't leave a visible seam.
5. Feathered alpha blend in the overlap zone, weighted by north's validity.
6. Crop black margins; output full-res panorama + half-size preview.
