 The largest gap between this and a AAA-feeling product is presentation, not code. Sequenced after the above for pragmatic reasons, but this is the highest impact per hour.

 - [ ] Custom font + a real `Theme` resource for the HUD. `ThemeDB.fallback_font` at 10-13 px reads as a debug overlay.
 - [ ] **Video settings menu is missing graphics presets, vsync, and resolution scaling.** `video_settings.gd` currently exposes only AA, glow, and brightness, while SDFGI, SSIL, SSAO, and five shadow-casting lights are on by default and unreachable by the player. Blocked on the same profiling gate as the multiplayer section's 0.16–0.28 tasks below (0.17/0.17b/0.17c/0.17d) — needs a human at the editor with real hardware, not further code changes on its own.
