5143e5bfac feat(social): Issue #86 — physical expression + motor attention
ESP32-C3 NeoPixel sketch (esp32/social_expression/social_expression.ino):
  - Adafruit NeoPixel + ArduinoJson, serial JSON protocol 115200 8N1
  - Mood→colour: happy=green, curious=blue, annoyed=red, playful=rainbow
  - Idle breathing animation (sine-modulated warm white)
  - Auto-falls to idle after IDLE_TIMEOUT_MS (3 s) with no command

ROS2 saltybot_social_msgs (new package):
  - Mood.msg — {mood, intensity}
  - Person.msg — {track_id, bearing_rad, distance_m, confidence, is_speaking, source}
  - PersonArray.msg — {persons[], active_id}

ROS2 saltybot_social (new package):
  - expression_node: subscribes /social/mood → JSON serial to ESP32-C3
    reconnects on port error; sends idle frame after idle_timeout_s
  - attention_node: subscribes /social/persons → /cmd_vel rotation-only
    proportional control with dead zone; prefers active speaker, falls
    back to highest-confidence person; lost-target idle after 2 s
  - launch/social.launch.py — combined launch
  - config YAML for both nodes with documented parameters
  - test/test_attention.py — 15 pytest-only unit tests
