fix(showcase): wooden ladder and hitching post visual quality pass (#185)

* fix(showcase): wooden ladder visual quality pass

Turned rungs, ferrules, and a level sole on the raked stile replace the cube shoes, and hygiene budgets lock the joints so the silhouette cannot regress to sticks and boxes.

* fix(showcase): hitching post visual quality pass

Hang the rings through eyes under one rail and seat the post in a closed shoe, with centerline and cup budgets so a clipped torus cannot pass again.

* docs(showcase): lock level-sole and hung-ring conventions

Future pieces inherit a level tread on a raked leg and a ring whose eye sits on the centerline, so those joints stay assertions instead of a one-off mesh.
