Claude 3ededd68b8 Add per-event NASA moon images with east-sky cloud veil
Three changes driven by the same goal: make each monthly moon post
look like east captured it at that exact moment.

Tighter illumination windows (±4% of target phase):
  Full moon:   95% → 96–100%  (was a 5-point band; now hugs exact full)
  Quarters:    40–65% → 46–54%  (was a 25-point band; now ±4% of 50%)
This ensures the NASA Dial-a-Moon render timestamp is pulled within
4 percentage points of the true phase, making the fetched image
genuinely represent that night's moon.  One fresh fetch per event,
~3/month, cached by hour — never reused across months.

Atmospheric cloud veil from east's surrounding sky:
  _extract_cloud_veil() samples the annular sky region just outside
  east's moon disk (2×–5× radius), scales it to the output frame,
  blurs heavily (GaussianBlur r≈output_width/10) so it reads as haze
  rather than an upscaled photo, then blends it over the NASA composite
  at an opacity proportional to sky brightness:
    sky < 5% mean brightness → no veil (clear dark night)
    sky ~10%                 → ~17% veil (thin haze / airglow)
    sky ≥ 20%                → 40% veil (max, MOON_CLOUD_OVERLAY_MAX_OPACITY)
  After the veil pass the NASA moon disk is re-pasted sharply so the
  haze sits naturally behind the crisp lunar surface.
  This is the honest answer to "east can't capture high-res clouds":
  east's real atmospheric fingerprint becomes the veil texture.

New sky-cam.conf keys:
  MOON_CLOUD_OVERLAY_ENABLED=true
  MOON_CLOUD_OVERLAY_MAX_OPACITY=0.40
  #MOON_CLOUD_OVERLAY_BLUR=0  (0 = auto)

"""moon_composite.py — paint a high-res lunar texture into a sky-cam frame.
Goal: from a frame east captured of a small white blob (~38 px), produce a
1920x1080 image that looks like east took it through a 65x telephoto.
What's real, from east:
- Sky color, atmospheric halo, any clouds drifting past
- Time, parallactic angle (orientation of "up" on the moon)
- Position of the moon in the frame at that instant
What's borrowed:
- The lunar surface texture (one cached high-res reference image)
