feat: side-quest - Perlin noise sky and ProcGenFunc error handling

- Updated ProcGenFunc signature to return bool for error reporting.
- Implemented gen_perlin (Fractional Brownian Motion) in procedural/generator.cc.
- Added support for sky texture in Renderer3D and its shader.
- Integrated Perlin noise sky texture in test_3d_render.cc.
- Caught and handled memory/generation errors in AssetManager and TextureManager.
- Assigned reference numbers to all remaining tasks in documentation.

handoff(Gemini): Side-quest complete. ProcGenFunc now returns bool. Perlin noise added and used for sky in 3D test. Windows build remains stable. All tasks numbered.
