Noting that the more stable, the more negative the number, which seems to be oposite the intended behavior.

In this code, we actually get the value of launcherStandardDeviationAngle and, after a linear transform, rename it to angle stability.

        const launcherMechanism = launcherName === 'custom' ? launcherMechanismName : '?';
        const angleStabilitySliderValue = ( 5 - 0.2 ) / ( 5 - 0.2 ) * ( projectile.launcherStandardDeviationAngle - 5 ) + 0.2;
        const angleStabilityRounded = valueRoundedToThousandths( angleStabilitySliderValue );
        const angleStability = launcherName === 'custom' ? angleStabilityRounded : '?';

This was implemented in #234. I'm not sure how to proceed.

After the commit, I'm seeing values from 0 (low stability) to 1 (high stability)
