Reveal the player when geometry sits between the orbit camera and the
character: a screen-space circular mask in a URP/Lit clone (HeroCutoutLit)
clips occluders in front of the player, depth-gated so only geometry nearer
than the hero is cut. The cutout lives outside UnityPerMaterial (SRP batcher
intact) and is a no-op when disarmed, so occluders look identical to URP/Lit.
A runtime driver (HeroCutout.cs on Main/GameManager) feeds the player's
screen position, radius, feather and depth into global shader properties and
only arms while the third-person orbit vcam is live; it disarms in
first-person, free-cam and the pause menu. Applied to the lobby walls via a
dedicated occluder material (floor left solid). Shipped but shelved for now.

Main scene gets a full-rect Background image (Chameleon Background 1) in
the menu UI and re-enables a UI component. Lobby scene receives extensive
authoring (sky, lighting, props). New Lobby Sky and White Glow materials;
Yellow Glow emission toned down from ~89 to 64.
The pipette now raycasts the nearest collider of any object, not just the
paint mesh. On a foreign hit it reads all channels texel-accurately from the
object's material maps (BaseMap/MetallicGloss/Occlusion/Emission) combined
with the material scalars per URP/Lit conventions, falling back to scalar
properties where a map is missing or the collider yields no UV. Includes
scene test props and materials for verifying foreign-object picking.
