Mid-match joiners now spawn a dedicated empty Spectator prefab (NetworkObject
+ SpectatorSetup only) instead of a fully stripped Player prefab. The FreeCam
rig is a standalone scene object in Main, so the spectator needs no avatar body,
renderer, collider, or CharacterController -- eliminating the leftover-body
artifact and the fragile per-peer strip path entirely.
- SpectatorSetup.cs (new): owner binds GameModeManager.BindSpectator (FreeCam-only)
- Spectator.prefab (new): empty avatar (Transform + NetworkObject + SpectatorSetup),
registered in DefaultNetworkPrefabs, wired on MatchManager in Main
- GameModeManager: add BindSpectator/BuildSpectatorModes; drop the spectator
branch from BindLocalPlayer; ReleaseToNoPlayer frees the cursor on teardown
- MatchManager: independent entropy-seeded RNG for fair hunter pick (was sharing
the global engine RNG and always landing on the same client); spawn the
spectator prefab for mid-match joiners; cursor-safe return-to-Main teardown
- FreeCamController: guard IgnorePlayerCollision against a disabled capsule
Also bundled (unrelated user asset/UI edits): PaintHudPanel layout tuning,
font atlas (arialroundedmtprocyr_bold SDF), forestpack_foliage material.

FreeCamController: ease movement via dt-correct Vector3.SmoothDamp on a world-space velocity (accel/decel ramp) and lag the look with Mathf.SmoothDampAngle. Both are framerate-independent and collapse to instant at smoothTime 0; smoothed state is snapped on activation (SyncToCurrentView) so entering freecam never jumps to catch up.
Bundles accumulated deferred work: PlayerScaler uniform-scale helper, scale-aware wall/ceiling climb probes and the double-scale skinned-collider bake fix, plus user content authoring (Sit pose + animation, font SDF, scene/prefab edits).

Introduce a free-fly camera as the next entry in the Tab mode cycle
(Player Control -> Paint -> Free Cam):
- FreeCamController: dedicated CinemachineCamera plus a CharacterController
mirroring the player capsule (radius 0.1, height 1.3, slope 59, step 0.15)
so the free camera collides with walls/ceiling/floor exactly like the
player. WASD/Q-E (and Space/Ctrl) fly relative to view; mouse looks.
- FreeCamMode: plain-C# GameMode mirroring PaintMode, with an Exit() that
restores camera priority and re-enables player control + camera input.
- GameModeManager: register freeCam in the Tab cycle (gated like player).
- Scene: FreeCamera object wired, Main Camera custom blends (0.4s) for the
vcam priority hand-off.
