feat: Optional sequence end times and comprehensive effect documentation

This milestone implements several key enhancements to the sequencing system
and developer documentation:

## Optional Sequence End Times (New Feature)
- Added support for explicit sequence termination via [time] syntax
- Example: SEQUENCE 0 0 [30.0] forcefully ends all effects at 30 seconds
- Updated seq_compiler.cc to parse optional [time] parameter with brackets
- Added end_time_ field to Sequence class (default -1.0 = no explicit end)
- Modified update_active_list() to check sequence end time and deactivate
  all effects when reached
- Fully backward compatible - existing sequences work unchanged

## Comprehensive Effect Documentation (demo.seq)
- Documented all effect constructor parameters (standard: device, queue, format)
- Added runtime parameter documentation (time, beat, intensity, aspect_ratio)
- Created detailed effect catalog with specific behaviors:
  * Scene effects: HeptagonEffect, ParticlesEffect, Hybrid3DEffect, FlashCubeEffect
  * Post-process effects: GaussianBlurEffect, SolarizeEffect, ChromaAberrationEffect,
    ThemeModulationEffect, FadeEffect, FlashEffect
- Added examples section showing common usage patterns
- Documented exact parameter behaviors (e.g., blur pulsates 0.5x-2.5x,
  flash triggers at intensity > 0.7, theme cycles every 8 seconds)

## Code Quality & Verification
- Audited all hardcoded 1280x720 dimensions throughout codebase
- Verified all shaders use uniforms.resolution and uniforms.aspect_ratio
- Confirmed Effect::resize() properly updates width_/height_ members
- No issues found - dimension handling is fully dynamic and robust

## Files Changed
- tools/seq_compiler.cc: Parse [end_time], generate set_end_time() calls
- src/gpu/effect.h: Added end_time_, set_end_time(), get_end_time()
- src/gpu/effect.cc: Check sequence end time in update_active_list()
- assets/demo.seq: Comprehensive syntax and effect documentation
- Generated files updated (timeline.cc, assets_data.cc, music_data.cc)

This work establishes a more flexible sequencing system and provides
developers with clear documentation for authoring demo timelines.

handoff(Claude): Optional sequence end times implemented, effect documentation
complete, dimension handling verified. Ready for next phase of development.
