A one-block-thick ring standing free (nothing built behind it, like
every reference screenshot) has open air directly in front of and
behind the interior. The iris/interior flood-fill searched all 6
directions, so it always escaped through that open air and flooded
the surrounding world instead of staying inside the ring - reliably
producing "interior isn't fully enclosed" regardless of how sound the
ring actually was.
Fixed by detecting which world axis the ring is thinnest along (same
idea already used for chevron placement) and restricting both the
interior candidate search and the flood itself to the other two axes,
so it can only explore within the ring's own plane.
Also fixed iris material semantics per feedback: the interior is no
longer just air when idle. gate.iris-material is now split into
iris-closed-material (default BEDROCK - solid, blocks all passage)
and iris-open-material (default WATER, the event horizon), applied
at link time, on open/close, and after a restart re-scan.
