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.

NetworkBootstrap now destroys itself outside the editor. Camera FOV/background
tweaks in Main, lobby light intensity, and paint HUD panel font/color polish.
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.
Replace the connection-approval role selection with a server-authoritative
match flow built on NGO additive scene management:
- Scenes: Main is the persistent foundation (NetworkManager, GameModeManager,
cameras, HUD); Lobby and Test Map load/unload additively. Add Lobby + Test Map
to the build settings; remove the obsolete SampleScene.
- MatchManager (plain MonoBehaviour singleton): loads Lobby on server start,
StartMatchTrigger lets the host start the match, rolls one random Hunter (rest
Hider), swaps Lobby -> Test Map (strictly serialized per NGO), respawns each
player as its role variant. Forces additive client sync mode so clients keep
Main instead of single-loading it (fixes "Destination scene is not valid").
- Server-driven spawning: null out NetworkConfig.PlayerPrefab at runtime to
disable auto-spawn, then spawn players after the lobby floor exists (fixes
falling through the floor) with double-spawn and transition guards.
- StartMatchTrigger: server-gated OnTriggerEnter, only the host's own player
starts the match.
- NetworkBootstrap: drop role selection / connection approval; everyone spawns
as the neutral Player prefab. Host/Client/Server/Shutdown buttons stay.
- NetworkPlayerSetup.ScopedModes flag (baked on Hunter/Hider prefabs): lobby
avatar gets the full mode set, match variants get the role-scoped set.
- GameModeManager.BindLocalPlayer reads ScopedModes and rebinds the painter
unconditionally (fixes stale painter binding on respawn -> brush painting in
every mode).
- MeshPainter.PaintingEnabled defaults to false (unbound/pre-spawn/remote never
paints); PaintHud visibility now also gates on a bound painter (fixes the HUD
showing at startup before any avatar exists).
