Increase strip density and board fill across anchor modes #25

Description

@joryirving

Summary

Increase the number of tiles and improve how the board fills the available strip area.

Current State

  • Anchor-specific board dimensions exist
  • Tile size is now computed relative to dock size
  • The strip is denser than before, but still not dense enough on some displays

Problems Observed

  • There are still not enough tiles for the available space, especially on large monitors
  • The board can still occupy only a corner-like portion of the dock
  • Empty margins and underused space still break the desktop-strip fantasy

Desired Behavior

  • The colony should feel like a dense, living strip of simulation
  • Board density should scale sensibly with monitor size and anchor family
  • Tiles should make strong use of the available strip space without becoming illegible

Implementation Notes

  • Increase tile counts per anchor family beyond the current baseline where appropriate
  • Tune tile-size scaling logic against real dock width/height ratios
  • Revisit strip padding and board margins
  • Prefer a world that visibly fills the dock over one with generous breathing room
  • Keep the board readable at a glance; density should not turn into noise

Acceptance Criteria

  • The strip contains noticeably more world state
  • Tiles scale to make good use of available dock space
  • Empty dead areas are reduced in both bottom and vertical modes
  • The world remains readable at a glance
