The cutout cone's radius and feather are now multiplied by the hero target's
uniform world scale (lossyScale.x, the same body-scale source the orbit input
uses). The authored values are the scale-1 sizes, so the see-through hole and
its soft edge keep the same on-screen proportion for a small hider or a large
hunter, and a mid-match conversion tracks live since lossyScale is read every
frame.

Replace the multi-sample silhouette probe with one camera->target raycast: any world geometry in the line of sight arms the cut, a clear line keeps occluders solid. The shader carves a world-space cone (apex at the camera, radius growing toward the target) so the screen-space hole stays a constant size regardless of occluder depth, with a soft radial fade plus a symmetric axial fade around the target so geometry just behind the player feathers out instead of hard-cutting along a plane. Anything well past the target stays solid. Also suppresses the deoccluder pull-in so the camera holds its orbit distance and the cut takes over.

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.
