Volume: the foot of each face darkens (scaled by the layer's contrast, before the mist lifts it toward the haze), the sun catches the top, and the crest rim gets a soft glow under its 2 px lip. Baked per pixel; nothing per frame. Legibility, with no plate: the state's luminance band (skyBand.ts, the one the sky is shaped into) now also shapes the layers, as a shift of linear light in the bake. Day and dusk add the zenith colour so the darkest ridge pixel is on the text floor; night scales to the ceiling. The face keeps its whole luminance gradient. Rows of full-opacity label over a ridge measure 2.4-2.6 before and 6.7-7.1 after at day and dusk (360 px, real label colour against the real pixels under it). Tests: 'foot is hazier' becomes two tests (the foot is clearly darker; the valley mist still pulls it toward the haze), plus the band tests and ridgeSkyFor carrying the state band.
