Fix eval() security vulnerability and standardize error handling

[Copilot]

Code review identified a critical eval() vulnerability in color parsing, inconsistent error handling, and minimal documentation in core modules.

Security Fixes

• Removed eval() vulnerability in UTIL.js::convertSixDigitCssRgbToNumeric()

  // Before: Code injection risk
  return eval('0x' + hexString);
  
  // After: Safe parsing
  return parseInt(hexString, 16);

• Added input validation with descriptive errors for convertSixDigitCssRgbToNumeric() and randomFromArray()

Error Handling

• Standardized throws across Physics.js, Level.js, MY3.js (7 instances)

  // Before
  throw('error message');
  
  // After
  throw new Error('error message');

Documentation

• Added JSDoc to UTIL.js (all functions), Physics.js (collision algorithms), Player.js (core functions)
• Created validation tooling: validate.sh for automated quality checks, test-improvements.html for regression testing
• Documented findings: CODE_REVIEW_SUMMARY.md (comprehensive analysis), CODE_QUALITY_IMPROVEMENTS.md (detailed changes)

Quality Improvements

• Removed debug console.log() from Portal.js
• Enhanced .gitignore for IDE files and build artifacts
• All changes backward compatible, zero breaking changes

Validation: All 40 modules pass syntax checks, 0 security issues, 0 improper error handling.

Warning

Firewall rules blocked me from connecting to one or more addresses (expand for details)

I tried to connect to the following addresses, but was blocked by firewall rules:

• googlechromelabs.github.io
  • Triggering command: /usr/local/bin/node node install.mjs (dns block)
• https://storage.googleapis.com/chrome-for-testing-public/142.0.7444.61/linux64/chrome-headless-shell-linux64.zip
  • Triggering command: /usr/local/bin/node node install.mjs (http block)

If you need me to access, download, or install something from one of these locations, you can either:

• Configure Actions setup steps to set up my environment, which run before the firewall is enabled
• Add the appropriate URLs or hosts to the custom allowlist in this repository's Copilot coding agent settings (admins only)
