Paul Bailey 12f7fd677d M0.5: detailed scenery, mountain/sea-cliff boundary, Godot 4.7
Scenery (all procedural, seeded, no imported assets):
- Terrain shader: grass/dry grass/dirt/sand/rock strata/snow + detail normals
- 5 tree types, faceted mossy rocks, cliff outcrops, sea stacks, bushes,
  logs and stumps, batched as MultiMesh per 48 m cell
- Wind-animated grass and flowers streamed in tiles around the player
- Lake (depth-shaded water with shore foam), ocean to the horizon,
  cloud sky shader, volumetric fog, glow, softer shadows
- Swimming: float at the surface, swim-jump to climb out

World bounds:
- Steep mountain rim with an invisible wall partway up; one side opens to
  a sheer sea cliff with the wall 1 m inside the edge; whole chunk is an
  island so the mesh edge is never visible
- Respawn safety net if the player leaves the walkable area or the map
- Fix: the cliff edge now tracks the wall in the headlands (it used to
  drop away inside the wall, leaving a pit with lake water hanging over it)

Tests: tests/test_boundary.gd (24-direction escape attempt) and
tests/test_terrain_edges.gd (no ground below waterline near the wall).

Upgrades the project to Godot 4.7 (project.godot rewritten by the 4.7
importer, .uid files added) and documents it in the setup guide.
