Subject: [PATCH] refactor(verse): rename HNeuronVisualizer ->
 FrictionPulseOverlay (retire neuro-jargon)

The component is a friction/insight notification overlay, not a neuron
visualizer. The 'H-Neuron' name came from a Tsinghua sycophancy paper and
describes nothing it does. Renamed to match behavior; event/helper/CSS
identifiers renamed in lockstep (contract verified self-contained, zero
external callers). One import site updated in app/(verse)/layout.tsx.

Companion to VSC-JARGON-1 (gov #262 + website #677); this is the live
console component that dispatch explicitly left to the Claude lane.
