Elcor mode surfaces tone annotations in the explicit Elcor format: 'Joyfully. I am glad to see you. With some hesitation.'

Design constraints:

NOT the default annotation style — must be discovered, not offered
elcor_unlocked is a widget prop; host app controls it (widget does not read user profile)
Discovery trigger mechanism: open question — needs product decision before this issue is implementable. See design doc §Open Questions #4.
Candidate triggers: cumulative session time, number of annotations reviewed, specific tone label sequence, Konami code variant
Once unlocked: persists in local storage (not server-side)
Cumulative tone shift leaderboard stub: track shift events per session, show 'mood swings: N' in Elcor mode header

File this issue to track the decision. Implementation blocked on trigger mechanism decision.
