Port Tendrils feature generation (#46)

Add the writable symbol, adapt Legacy's branching solid cave-node geometry across all terrain types, and test authored and random Age selection.

 Every family retains a safe cobblestone arrival platform. An omitted terrain
 page still uses the deterministic seed-selected profile.
 
+The separate **Floating Islands** feature page adds rare high-altitude island
+clusters above Standard, Amplified, Sky Islands, Flat, or Void terrain; it does
+not replace the terrain page. The feature is seeded by the Age and saved with the written
+plan, so revisiting an Age recreates the same islands. Without a preceding
+Block page, the Age seed chooses one valid full-collision block from the Block
+Pages pool for the island body. A full-block material page immediately before
+Floating Islands overrides that choice. Ordinary surface biomes still get
+dirt/grass top layers; Nether and End biomes use the chosen block throughout.
+The feature is additive even on Sky Islands terrain,
+which already forms its own islands. Cave terrain rejects it. A page-free random
+Age may also roll Floating Islands as one of its material features.
+
+An unpaired Block or Fluid page chooses a compatible feature from the Age seed:
+full blocks can become Rocks or Floating Islands; source fluids can become one
+of the lake features. Flat and Void terrain can only use Floating Islands from
+this pool, while Cave terrain has no compatible material feature. A page-free
+random Age rolls zero, one, or two distinct compatible features, choosing each
+material from the Block or Fluid Pages pool. The choices are saved on the Age
+definition, so opening the Age again does not reroll them.
+Repeated Block/Fluid and Feature pages remain separate entries in authored
+writing. Each unpaired material gets its own compatible feature, and repeated
+decorations use separate placement rolls. Repeated unmodified feature pages
+choose different compatible materials until their material pool is exhausted.
+
+For an in-game visual check, bind Descriptive Books with a Link Panel,
+one of Standard, Amplified, Sky Islands, Flat, or Void terrain, and the Floating Islands
+feature page in that order. Fly through each Age at roughly Y=170–220 and
+verify the elevated clusters appear above its unchanged base terrain. Reopen
+the same Age to check that island positions stay fixed. Islands should be less
+common than in the first test build (one source chunk in 128 instead of 64).
+Sky Islands should retain its terrain islands and gain occasional additional
+feature islands. Try Cave terrain too; the Binder should reject that pairing.
+
+The **Tendrils** feature adapts Legacy's winding, branching cave-node geometry
+into solid tubes. It is additive on all current terrain families, including
+Flat, Void, and Cave; it does not change biome selection. A preceding full-
+collision Block page chooses the tendril material. Otherwise the Age seed
+chooses a valid Block Pages material, consistent with other authored material
+features. Page-free random Ages can select Tendrils as a solid-material feature,
+including on Cave terrain where the surface material features are unavailable.
+The shape and placement use only the Age seed and source-chunk coordinates, so
+revisiting an Age recreates the same geometry.
+
+For a clear visual check, bind a Void Age with a Glowstone Block page followed
+by Tendrils. Fly around world Y=0–120 across several chunks: branching solid
+forms should appear in the otherwise empty dimension, continue across chunk
+borders, and remain in place after leaving and returning. Repeat with a lone
+Tendrils page to confirm its seed-chosen material, and with Cave terrain to
+confirm the feature does not require a surface biome.

 ## Manual visual and behavior checks
 
 1. Bind a Descriptive Book with two distinct symbol pages. Open it: the front spread shows its Age name, your player name, and the link panel. Turn twice and confirm exactly one large symbol on each right page, in authored order, with no plain-text symbol description or blank trailing page.
 2. Hover the front-page name to confirm the trait summary remains accessible. Click the link panel to confirm normal travel; repeat from a lectern to check the name, panel, and page-turn layout.
 3. Open a Link-Panel-only book and confirm its existing random-Age details and destination preview still appear.

Rivencraft's [catalog](../src/main/java/net/dnorberg/rivencraft/writing/SymbolCatalog.java) currently holds display metadata only; its built-in set is just standard terrain, native biomes, normal weather, normal lighting, normal time, and caves. [OrderedWriting](../src/main/java/net/dnorberg/rivencraft/writing/OrderedWriting.java) preserves page order, but no compiler yet connects it to [AgeTraits](../src/main/java/net/dnorberg/rivencraft/book/AgeTraits.java) or [Age profiles](AGE_PROFILES.md).
