Avatar works seated: only shoulders required, bust mode without hips

Sitting at a desk the hips are rarely visible, which made the avatar
never appear. The pelvis is now synthesized below the shoulders when
hidden (torso/head/arms as a bust; legs return when actually visible).
The output also reports diagnostics to the panel: pose tracker failed,
or avatar active with no body detected for 5s.
