Grand tour: 8 short steps, numbers beside genres, afrobeat off the map

Three map/tour changes (Paul 2026-07-06):

• 8 waypoints (down from 10-16) and each hop reaches half as far (TOUR_MAXLEG 90->45, MINLEG 24->12) — a tighter, more local journey of shorter steps.

• The numbered badges no longer sit ON the genre stars. Straight leg-lines can only pass THROUGH the genres if the vertices ARE the genres, so the path still threads vertex-to-vertex through the true star…

• afrobeat removed from the star map (POS) — gone from chart, tours and journeys. Kernel catalog entry kept (still renderable via CLI/press); say the word to purge it there too.

• default-path gate PASS (8 stops, legs 29-43px, delete/drag/ride green, 0 errors); screenshot-verified.
