Hartmut e2eda92d82 fix(gltf): append materials (link=False) for proper PBR export to GLB
Linked materials are external references — Blender's GLTF exporter cannot
traverse their node trees to extract Principled BSDF PBR values (metallic,
roughness, base color, normal maps). Appended materials are local copies
that the exporter can fully traverse.

Changes:
- asset_library.py: add link=True parameter (default unchanged for renders)
- export_gltf.py: call apply_asset_library_materials with link=False
- export_gltf.py: add export_materials='EXPORT' + export_image_format='AUTO'
  to embed textures and ensure full PBR data in the GLB

"""Blender headless script: export a STEP-derived scene as a production GLB.
Usage:
blender --background --python export_gltf.py -- \\
--stl_path /path/to/file.stl \\
--output_path /path/to/output.glb \\
[--asset_library_blend /path/to/library.blend] \\
[--material_map '{"SrcMat": "LibMat"}']
The script:
1. Imports the STL file (with mm→m scale).
2. Optionally applies asset library materials from a .blend.
3. Exports as GLB (Draco-compressed if available, otherwise standard).
