fix(galaxy): anchor spiral arms to core cluster
Structural fix for detached disk arms. The core problem was that disk systems generated with inner_radius=0 tried to place near the origin, but spacing constraints blocked them (core already occupied that space), creating a visible gap between the core and spiral arms. Changes: - Pass core_radius to generate_disk so arms know where the core boundary is - When inner_radius is 0 (auto), start arms inside the core zone at 40% of core_radius, so the density peak falls inside the core sphere and arms visually emerge from the core boundary - Change density exponent from powf(0.62) to powf(0.45) for stronger concentration near the inner edge (~60% of systems in inner 30% of the radial span), creating a natural bright-core-to-faint-edge falloff - Bias randomize_disk toward inner_radius=0 (auto) 70% of the time so randomized galaxies always have core-anchored arms
