Lets a model be described as a 2.9 sigma member of the West instead of
"somewhere west of Silicon Valley". Signed per-axis z says which way and how
far on a named axis; Mahalanobis says how odd the placement is overall, and
uses the cluster covariance because the zones are elongated and tilted.
Reads the committed coords in wvs_model_ci.md rather than the coord cache,
so it reruns offline without re-querying seventeen models.

Draw the title and github.com/wassname/moral-maps note in the empty bottom-left
INSIDE the axes so a crop can't strip attribution and there's no whitespace band.
Give the models overlay extra top headroom so the most-secular model stars and
their labels seat inside the frame instead of spilling above it. Regenerate PNG+SVG.

MFV country norms fail cross-country measurement invariance (Jimenez-Leal 2025: non-invariance + DIF,
'cross-cultural comparisons restricted') and are stitched from 5 studies, so the culture map/quadrant
drew false structure (inverted West vs Latin America). Delete plot_mfv_map + plot_mfv_value and the
value_coords_contrast/axis_contrast helpers; MFV keeps only the range plot, now against ONE pooled
human reference (mean of the 8 z-scored samples), no per-country identity. Add data-dir note + README
caveats citing the sources.

One shared orient_geographic() helper folds axis signs into the coords (value maps) or into Vt
(ipsative PCA, so dots/haze/steer/compass all inherit one flip). Replaces the WVS-only invert_x hack;
every map now reads left/right the same way. Regenerate instrument showcase maps.

docs/img/README.md is a captioned gallery: each figure states what the dots are, the
named axes and their source paper, the readout (rated sampling N=12 for the frontier
panel, logprobs N=8 for the steering showcase), and for the steer the base model
(Qwen3-4B), the Authority PCA vector, and +c/-c directions. Regenerate all maps with the
edge-inset + roomier margins.

The four pole signposts (Adaptive / Self-directed ...) draw on the crosshair edges after
label placement, so a zone name near the frame collided with them (African-Islamic vs
Adaptive on the humor map). Feed each pole in as a short keep-out band of obstacle points.
Regenerate committed WVS + showcase maps.

Region labels maximised clearance, which fled to the FARTHEST open space -- the polygon
name ended up floating far from its hull. Instead take the nearest perimeter ring that
has a clear slot (emptiest spot on that ring), so the name hugs its own hull edge. Marker
spacing beyond the glyph is now anisotropic (spacing_x=0.5, spacing_y=0.3): text stacks
tighter vertically, so pull labels in more up-down than left-right. Marker clearance pad
is unscaled, so nothing lands on its own star. Re-render WVS + showcase.

The per-instrument value maps (big5/humor/mfq2) now route labels through
labelplace.allocate_labels: zone names in clear air (no white boxes), country
labels adjacent, steer path unchanged. Ipsative/range figures re-emitted from the
same run for a consistent set.

Fresh-eyes QA caught the "East Asia" zone label hugging its (central, crowded) red hull
edge. Region labels only searched 0-0.9 text-heights off the perimeter; widen to 3.0 so
the clearance search can escape a surrounded hull into open space.

The 17-model IW map now renders through labelplace.allocate_labels; save the artifact
into the repo (png for viewing, svg for hand-editing labels, CI table as companion).

plot_value_map now takes a steer= dict and draws the steer as a connected
black->red(+c)/blue(-c) path (matching the ipsative map's trajectory) instead
of three disconnected model dots. draw_zone_hulls returns its label anchors so
textalloc routes country/model labels around zone names. Regenerated the
showcase (mfq2/big5/humor value maps are new; mfv ipsative picks up Netherlands).

Per feedback the individual-respondent contours filled the frame (within >>
between variance). Now each IW zone is a ~1.6-sigma covariance ellipse over its
member country-mean dots, with an eigenvalue floor so 1-2 country zones get a
visible blob instead of a dot/line (fixes big5 SG/PK orphans). PCA now fits on the
country means M so the axes are between-country and zones separate. mfq2/big5/mfv
read cleanly; humor still overlaps (real negative result: humor country profiles
don't cluster the IW way).
