+// Horizontal film scratch lines utility
+// Returns scratch intensity [0,1] to additively overlay on a color buffer.
+//
+// Parameters:
+//   uv         - normalized texture coordinates [0,1]
+//   resolution - screen size in pixels (used for sub-pixel thickness)
+//   time       - physical time in seconds
+//
+// Simulates aged/damaged film: ~8 random horizontal lines per frame,
+// each with independent position, thickness, brightness and on/off state.
+// Time is quantized to 24 buckets/sec so scratches flicker like film frames.
