Hats no longer pop in a beat after page load. The hats feature is a deferred chunk, so every boot painted bare heads until it arrived — but the core bundle can't carry the hat art. Instead, wrapAvatar now leaves a STAMP per head in localStorage (art + percent geometry, size-independent, capped at 40, cleared when a head goes bare so removals can't ghost), and the core avatar factory replays stamps until hatsReady answers — from then on a null from wrapAvatar genuinely means bare. Verified headless: a stamped hat is on the header avatar 15ms after DOM-ready, and once the chunk lands with a bare-head answer the stamp is cleared with no double-wrap
