Fix shoulder tilt calculation: eliminate 1-10° issue with proper frame selection and frontal plane projection

- Add impact frame refinement: search ±4 frames for maximum shoulder tilt
- Remove camera-relative fallback (s_xz): always use frontal-plane atan2(v_up, v_lat)
- Remove heuristic guards that override good geometry
- Add world landmark scale validation (0.22-0.70m shoulder span)
- Simplify sign logic: positive = trail shoulder lower for right-handed
- Add comprehensive debug output for transparent troubleshooting
- Version updated to front-ff v2025-09-21-fixed-shoulder-tilt

Addresses core issue where ~1.2cm shoulder drop correctly yielded ~9° but wrong frame/projection was used
