+When Scope is OFF, Tactical, Operator and Minimal add small black backplates
+at 70% opacity behind telemetry, vertical metadata, multiline AIS and scene
+chrome. They have rounded corners, no halo and no overlap between adjacent lines.
+Text keeps its original color, glow and opacity in both Scope states. The engine
+publishes the OFF state as `data-scope-mask="off"` on the document root, so direct
+setters, share links and scene restoration drive the same treatment. Scope ON
+uses the original HUD layout, Operator frames and scene chrome, with no added
+backplates. The OFF-only Minimal coordinate offset clears map attribution.
