Shadbala: Kala (temporal)

Kala Bala, sum of Nathonnatha (continuous time-from-midnight/noon), Paksha (continuous Moon-Sun elongation, Moon-doubled per BPHS), Tribhaga (3-fold split of day/night), Abda+Masa+Vara+Hora rulers, Ayana (declination-based, Sun-doubled, Mercury bidirectional). Yuddha (planetary war) deferred. Abda/Masa rulers require Vedic calendar lookup, currently zeroed (no contribution) to avoid double-counting Vara.
