🌅 Solstice - A Living Landscape Watchface

Solstice transforms your Pebble into a window onto a living world. The sky shifts through dawn, day, dusk, and night using your actual local sunrise and sunset times. A sun or moon arcs across the sky on an accurate astronomical path. Live weather drives the atmosphere - clouds drift, rain falls, snow settles. The landscape changes with the real season. Shake your wrist to trigger a shooting star or a lightning bolt!

✨ Features
🌤️ Dynamic Sky System
- 4 phases: Night (deep blue), Dawn (peach/gold), Day (cerulean), Dusk (orange/sunset)
- Real sunrise/sunset times fetched from Open-Meteo - sky phases and celestial arc are astronomically accurate, not hardcoded
- ⭐ Stars visible at night and dusk

☀️ Celestial Tracking
- Sun and Moon arc across the sky based on your actual local sunrise/sunset times
- 🌙 Real lunar phases: Moon renders the correct phase (new, crescent, quarter, gibbous, full) calculated from the actual synodic cycle using a 2-circle rendering technique
- Sun has a warm glow halo
- Position updates every minute

🌦️ Live Weather
- Fetches from Open-Meteo API (free, no key needed) via PebbleKit JS
- Weather animates the scene: ☀️ Clear sky, ☁️ Drifting clouds, 🌧️ Rain streaks, ❄️ Snowflakes, ⛈️ Thunderstorm
- Refreshes every 30 minutes

🍂 Seasonal Landscape
- Mountains and terrain change color with the actual season:
  - 🌸 Spring: Green ranges
  - ☀️ Summer: Deep vibrant greens
  - 🍁 Fall: Orange and tan tones
  - ❄️ Winter: Gray mountains with snow caps on the peaks

⛰️ Parallax Mountains
- Two mountain ranges at different depths for a layered silhouette effect
- Colors shift with time of day and season

🌠 Shooting Star & ⚡ Lightning Flash
- Shake your wrist to trigger a shooting star across the sky
- During a **thunderstorm**, the same wrist shake triggers a lightning bolt flash instead
- Brief animation preserves battery

🌡️ Weather Bar
- Single line at the bottom: current temp with daily high/low and wind direction/speed
- Example: 72° H:80 L:61 NW 12mph

❤️ Heart Rate Monitor *(Pebble Core Time 2 and Pebble Time 2 only)*

- Only appears on Pebble Core Time 2 (flint) and Pebble Time 2 (emery), which have built-in heart rate sensors
- Rate shown with a pulsing ring animation around the sun/moon
- Updates every minute alongside other health metrics

🌸 Flower Garden *(Steps Counter)*
- A small garden of flowers grows along the bottom of the landscape
- Each flower represents your daily step progress
- Flowers sprout and grow taller as you accumulate steps throughout the day
- Stems are green, petals shift from yellow to pink to red
- Resets at midnight with the step counter
