Detailed Description

No lab showed its clock, which is a strange gap in a framework whose whole claim is determinism: "the same seed and the same stepped frames" is the contract, and until now nothing told the learner what time it was.

Three parts in one chip: the sim-time readout, a pause toggle, and a speed cycle. It drives SimClock.timeScale from the outside rather than owning any clock state, so a lab that also binds a simSpeed parameter to the same clock keeps working - the chip simply reads back whatever the scale now is.

Pausing sets timeScale to 0, which is the kernel's pause verb, and resuming restores the speed that was running before - not 1x, because a pause taken during a 4x run is meant to be resumed at 4x.
