CRITICAL: Variable renamed from 'message' to 'payload' but usages not updated. Lines 9-14 still reference 'message' instead of 'payload', causing ReferenceError.

In saveReplayFile, the dialog return value was renamed to saveDialogResult, but the success path still reads result.filePath later in the function. When a user actually chooses a file (the non-cancel path), this triggers a ReferenceError and drops into the catch block, so export reports failure instead of writing the replay file.

The worker handler now binds event.data to payload, but the conditionals still dereference message.type/message.*. On the first incoming worker message this causes a ReferenceError, so the particle worker stops processing scene/tick updates and no valid snapshots are emitted to the renderer.

The catch-up push result was renamed to pushOutcome, but the log context still uses result.backpressure.level. Whenever catch-up events are present, that log statement throws and is caught as session_manager.catchup_failed, producing a false failure warning and dropping the intended backpressure telemetry.

Pull request overview
This PR focuses on improving readability across shadow-agent by replacing generic variable names (data, result, item, etc.) with more descriptive, context-aware identifiers.
Changes:
- Renamed generic variables across shared utilities, renderer components, inference, persistence, and MCP server modules.
- Updated UI timeline rendering to use clearer event naming (
timelineEvent) and prop names. - Added a repo-root
.githooks/pre-commithook to run prompt parity checks and theshadow-agenttest suite before commits.

pushOutcomeis captured frombuffer.push(...), but the log context still referencesresult.backpressure.level, which is now undefined. UsepushOutcome.backpressure.level(or rename the variable back) so the catch-up log doesn't throw.

payloadis assigned fromevent.data, but the rest of the handler still referencesmessage, which is now undefined. This will throw at runtime / fail type-checking; update the conditional branches to use the new variable name consistently (or keep the originalmessagename).
