release: v3.3.0 — VAT MVP, deep-linkable sections, hover anchors

[fernandotonon]

Summary

Cuts a 3.3.0 minor release with the VAT pipeline landing as the headline feature, plus a couple of website polish improvements aimed at making the new `#vat-demo` section easy to share.

Version

• `CMakeLists.txt`: `3.2.1` → `3.3.0` (single source of truth)
• `README.md` + `website/src/hooks/useQtmeshActionRef.js`: auto-synced by `scripts/sync-doc-versions-from-cmake.sh`

Why a minor (not patch) bump

VAT is a brand-new user-facing capability — new CLI subcommand, new file artifacts (PNG bake, JSON sidecar, source.gltf, Ogre bind sidecar), three new engine shader templates, and a live web demo. Patch bumps are reserved for bug fixes; this carries enough new surface to deserve 3.x.y → 3.3.0.

The VAT work itself shipped across:

• vat: UV2-based engine shader templates + harness rewrite #640 — UV2-based engine shader templates + harness rewrite
• vat: website demo tabs + MultiMesh perf comparison + web build fixes #644 — website demo tabs + MultiMesh perf comparison
• fix(export): glTF/GLB skip ConvertToLeftHanded — fixes VAT mesh artifacts #646 — export/import alignment + texture/normal fix (three bug fixes in one PR)
• fix(vat-perf): align PerfSpawnerVAT with VATInstance bind-sidecar logic #647 — perf-spawner alignment fix

Website polish

• Deep-linkable sections. `/#vat-demo`, `/#install`, `/#cli`, etc. now scroll to the right section on initial load AND in-session hashchanges. The browser's native fragment-scroll happens before React mounts the sections so the cold-load behaviour was previously "land at the top." Fixed with a `useEffect` that re-resolves the hash after mount (via `requestAnimationFrame` so the layout has settled) and a `hashchange` listener for in-session smooth-scroll.
• Hover anchor links. Each `
  ` title now reveals a `#` link on hover so visitors can grab a shareable URL.
• Scroll polish. `scroll-behavior: smooth` + `scroll-margin-top: 1.5rem` on `section[id]` so anchor-scroll lands with breathing room.

Documentation

• New "VAT" tab in the home page's CLI examples panel.
• New `cmd-vat` reference section in the docs page (synopsis, options, examples) and a `vat` entry in the docs sidebar between `pose` and `scan`.

Test plan

• `./scripts/sync-doc-versions-from-cmake.sh --check` passes (synced manually in the same commit so the verify-doc-versions CI job is green from the start)
• Deep-link smoke: hit `#vat-demo`, `#install`, `#cli` cold-load — scroll lands on the target
• In-session `hashchange` smooth-scrolls
• Cross-browser smoke (Chrome / Safari / Firefox) after deploy preview
• Verify the deployed `/docs.html#cmd-vat` page renders the new section
