Outline: the inverted-hull width was tuned when the look was heavier and
now reads as a thick marker stroke. Cut every call site to roughly a third
(characters 0.012 -> 0.004, level geometry 0.015 -> 0.005, Neon Alley's
size-scaled clamp 0.02..0.05 -> 0.007..0.018) plus the shader default, so
the ink line stays readable without fattening every silhouette.
Third-person weapon on HumanoidModel: the gun was parented to root_pivot at
a fixed (-0.15, 1.0, 0.4) — floating 40 cm off the chest while both arms
posed at it from a distance. Give the rig a real right-hand node at the end
of the forearm and hang the weapon there, so it travels with the arm. Its
aim is re-derived from the body each frame (hand_r_pivot's global basis is
copied from root_pivot), otherwise the barrel would swing around with the
arm animation. The hold pose is retuned to match: right elbow tucked at the
ribs with a level forearm, left arm crossing to the handguard.
_seat_weapon_in_hand() slides each weapon along its own barrel axis so a
plausible grip lands in the fist regardless of where the artist left the
model origin. It measures with MeshInstance3D.get_aabb(), not
mesh.get_aabb() — the FBX gun parts are skinned, so the Mesh resource still
carries bind-pose bounds tens of metres across.

- toon.gdshader: banded diffuse with cool-tinted shadows (3 tones), stepped
specular, rim light, and an optional world-triplanar albedo path so level
geometry keeps the 0.5 m grid with no UVs
- toon_outline.gdshader: inverted-hull ink outline, applied via
material_overlay so it works on skinned (deforming) meshes
- LevelMaterials: tinted() now returns toon grid materials; toonify()/
apply_toon_recursive() convert imported character/prop materials in place
- SkinnedPlayerModel: characters get toon shading + outline on load
- LevelEnvironment: shared stylized environment for all maps — saturated
anime sky, linear tonemap (filmic/ACES crush cel bands), bloom for
emissives, saturation+contrast grade, light depth haze; test level and
dust2 now use it and the procedural arena (which had NO environment)
gets it plus runtime toonification of its baked geometry
