Worker orbs: excitement kick when a worker flips active

Browse source 
The inactive->active transition (caught at the existing 30-frame state
refresh) now jolts the orb: a random-direction velocity kick with a briefly
lifted speed cap so it actually darts, a fast shallow size wobble (~1s decay),
and three sparks. A worker waking up reads as 'it sprang into action' instead
of just getting brighter.
