gilesb 6ceaa37ab6 Add composable ASCII art with per-cell effects and explicit effect loading
Implements ascii_fx_zone effect that allows applying arbitrary sexp effects
to each character cell via cell_effect lambdas. Each cell is rendered as a
small image that effects can operate on.

Key changes:
- New ascii_fx_zone effect with cell_effect parameter for per-cell transforms
- Zone context (row, col, lum, sat, hue, etc.) available in cell_effect lambdas
- Effects are now loaded explicitly from recipe declarations, not auto-loaded
- Added effects_registry to plan for explicit effect dependency tracking
- Updated effect definition syntax across all sexp effects
- New run_staged.py for executing staged recipes
- Example recipes demonstrating alternating rotation and blur/rgb_split patterns
