ALIEN BROADCAST: the video layer becomes an insane 80s TV station

Paul: "WAY glitchier and more surprising... all kinds of wackadoodle effects, often at random... an 80s TV station run by slightly insane alien AI intelligences." A chaos layer rides the 5 genre-family base grades: 21 weighted events, never twice in a row —

• analog decay (vertical-hold roll with overscan so never-black extends to never-black-edges, h-sync jolt volleys, tracking bands, chroma lurch, ghosting doubles, brightness pumping, invert/posterize blinks…

• Scheduler: Poisson gaps over per-family base rates x a random-walk storm scalar (real bursts and lulls; glitch family 46.7 events/min, ambient 11.7 sparse-but-deeply-weird with weird-events biased 2.1x).

Verified: 20 distinct events in a 3-min glitch session; 0 back-to-back repeats (fixed a pulse-path bypass); audio live smoke PASS with the chaos running
