fix: physical realism for 3D demo

- Load STL models with fallback to primitives
- True physical scale (1 unit = 1 meter)
- Sensor rig at 1.35m above max item
- Roll-cages for C/D zones (1.2×0.8×0.8m)
- Chutes for physical routing
- HUD/overlay repositioned to avoid overlap
- Added physicalLayout tests

+# Physical Realism Fix Report
+
+## Summary
+
+Fixed physical realism issues in the 3D demo to ensure accurate representation of the sorting system.
+
+## Problems Addressed
+
+1. **Items displayed as colored cubes** - Items now load actual STL models with fallback to primitives
+2. **Items sometimes above sensors** - Sensor rig height increased to 1.35m, always above max item height
+3. **Items faster than conveyor** - Speed synchronized at 1 m/s
+4. **C/D zones as flat platforms** - Replaced with realistic roll-cages (1.2×0.8×0.8m wireframe cages)
+5. **HUD/Overlay overlap** - Repositioned: HUD top-right, CV overlay bottom-right with 16px+ gap
+6. **Unrealistic sorting visuals** - Added chutes/deflectors for physical routing to C/D zones
+
+## Root Causes
+
+### Why Items Showed as Cubes
+- `PlaybackItem` component was using primitive geometry instead of loading STL models
+- `scaleFactor = 2.0` was applied, making items unnaturally large
+- useLoader was being called conditionally, violating React hooks rules
+
+### Solution
+- Created separate `STLGeometry` component for proper hook usage
+- `FallbackPrimitive` component for cases without STL models
+- Removed scaleFactor, using true physical scale (1 unit = 1 meter)
+
+## Changes Made
+
+### physicalLayout.ts
+- Added `MAX_ITEM_HEIGHT_M = 0.32` (320mm max normal item height)
+- Added `OVERSIZE_DEMO_MAX_HEIGHT_M = 0.4` (400mm for oversized demo items)
+- Added `SENSOR_CLEARANCE_M = 0.25` (250mm clearance above items)
+- Added `SENSOR_RIG_HEIGHT_M = 1.35m` (above max item)
+- Updated `CAMERA_RIG.cameraY = 1.35m` and `height = 1.5m`
+- Updated `LASER_HEIGHT_M = 1.4m`
+- Updated `STEREO_CAMERA.mountY = 1.35m`
+- Added `ROLL_CAGE` dimensions (1.2×0.8×0.8m with 40mm wheels, 30mm frame)
+- Added `getRenderedItemDimensions()` helper
+- Set `ITEM_VISIBILITY_MULTIPLIER = 1.0` for true physical scale
+
+### SorterDigitalTwinContinuous.tsx
+- Replaced `STLItemModel` with `STLGeometry` and `FallbackPrimitive` components
+- Removed `scaleFactor = 2.0`, using true dimensions in meters
+- Added `RollCage` component for C/D zones with:
+  - Wireframe metal frame
+  - Caster wheels
+  - Wire mesh sides
+  - Color coding (C=orange, D=purple)
+- Added `RouteChute` component for physical routing:
+  - Angled chute surface from conveyor to cage
+  - Side rails
+  - Active state highlighting
+- Updated `PlaybackItem` to use `getRenderedItemDimensions()` and `getItemYOnBelt()`
+
+### styles.css
+- CV overlay repositioned to `bottom: 100px` instead of `top: 50%`
+- Added `max-height: calc(100vh - 280px)` with `overflow-y: auto`
+- Mobile: compact bottom overlay with reduced font sizes
+- Tablet: smaller overlay positioned below HUD
+- Large screens: explicit gap from HUD
+
+### Tests Added (physicalLayout.test.ts)
+- Belt top at 0.7m
+- Conveyor speed 1 m/s
+- Max item height 0.32m
+- Sensor rig above max item
+- Camera rig above max item
+- Roll cage dimensions 1.2×0.8×0.8m
+- Item rendered height constraints
+- Item center Y calculation
+- Speed calculation verification
+- Playlist categories map to valid commands
+
+## Verification
+
+### Build/Test Results
+```
+npm run build - SUCCESS
+npm run test - 93 tests passed
+docker compose up -d --build - SUCCESS
+```
+
+### Browser QA
+- ✅ STL models load correctly (plate shows as flat cylinder)
+- ✅ Items on belt at correct scale
+- ✅ Sensors above items (1.35m vs max 1.1m item top)
+- ✅ Speed synchronized at 1 m/s
+- ✅ C/D roll-cages visible (orange/purple wireframe)
+- ✅ Items route to C/D via chutes
+- ✅ HUD and overlay don't overlap
+- ✅ No console errors
+- ✅ /details page not broken
+
+## Screenshots
+
+Location: `docs/physical_realism_fix_screenshots/`
+
+- `real_stl_item.png` - STL model displayed
+- `item_on_belt_scale.png` - Item at correct scale on belt
+- `sensor_above_item.png` - Camera rig above item
+- `speed_sync_t0.png` / `speed_sync_t1.png` - Speed verification
+- `c_roll_cage.png` - Orange roll cage for C zone
+- `d_roll_cage.png` - Purple roll cage for D zone
+- `overlay_no_overlap.png` - HUD and overlay separated
+- `mobile_overlay.png` - Mobile layout
+
+## Physical Dimensions Summary
+
+| Element | Dimension |
+|---------|-----------|
+| Conveyor belt top | 0.7m |
+| Belt width | 0.5m |
+| Belt speed | 1 m/s |
+| Max item height (normal) | 0.32m |
+| Max item height (oversize) | 0.4m |
+| Sensor rig height | 1.35m |
+| Camera/laser height | 1.35-1.4m |
+| Roll cage | 1.2×0.8×0.8m |
