Chapter 1 desert dialogues rewritten in audio-drama voice

The desert dialogues in Chapter 1 — the run of scenes right after the opening cinematic — are rewritten to match the cinematic's audio-drama register. A few lines that were drifting into a different tone come out.

The sign-in modal, which used to mix new-player and returning-player options in one form, now presents two distinct columns: New player on one side, Returning player on the other. The recovery / start-a-new-game escape hatch stays where it was.

Scene reveals on the web are now all-or-nothing. A scene either paints in full and reveals, or it waits — no more scenes appearing with backgrounds or characters still streaming in. If a scene's content genuinely can't load, a safety backstop reveals it after a maximum wait rather than trapping you at a loading screen.
