Subject: [PATCH] add configurable dot size for zoomed-out structures
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

Structures collapse to a dot when zoomed out past dotsZoomThreshold.
The dot scale was hardcoded to 1.0 / 2.5 (≈0.4) in structure.vert.glsl.

Promote it to a render setting (`structure.dotScale`) so it's tunable
alongside iconSize / dotsZoomThreshold. Default 0.4 preserves current
behavior. Plumbed via uDotScale uniform on StructurePass.
