Bug Fixes
- Resolved recurring crashes tied to legacy (3‑year‑old) code and Unity ECS limitations.
- Casual campaign gameplay should no longer crash; crash tolerance extended to about eight times longer than before.
- Heavy‑load scenarios (large numbers of units) now take roughly eight times longer to trigger a crash.
