Claude b45ef3a791 Fix UnicodeEncodeError in caption drawing
The default PIL bitmap font only covers latin-1, so the em dash (U+2014)
in captions raised UnicodeEncodeError at runtime.

Add _load_font() which tries DejaVu Sans TTF from common system paths
(the fonts-dejavu package is already a listed dependency) and falls back
to the PIL default only when no TTF is found.  Add _draw_caption() which
wraps both the font load and the two-pass drop-shadow draw, and sanitises
the string for the bitmap fallback path so it never crashes.

Replace both raw draw.text caption blocks in composite_full_moon() and
render_phase_closeup() with _draw_caption().

"""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)
