feat(shenron): Physics audit, azimuth metrology & pipeline stability

- [Physics] Disable R^2 area expansion in Sceneset.get_loss_3 to restore
  physically correct 1/R^4 two-way radar power law (point scatterer model)

- [Metrology] Normalize RA heatmap [0,1] before variance calculation in
  model_wrapper.py to prevent 1e20 scalar overflow values

- [Metrology] Add peak_azimuth_spread_deg (Half-Power Beamwidth proxy)
  to signal metrics for per-frame angular resolution monitoring

- [DSP] Switch spatial Angle-FFT window from Hanning to Hamming in
  radar_processor.py for sharper beamforming on small antenna arrays (6-8 Rx)

- [Telemetry] Expose az_std and spread in [SHENRON_STEP] dashboard stream
  for both generate_shenron.py and test_shenron.py pipelines

- [BugFix] Add missing sys/os imports in src/main.py and video_stage.py
  that caused NameError crashes in the stage-based pipeline orchestrator
