430c2bdcfa Vanilla/Turtle WoW support: M2 loading, bone parsing, textures, auth
- Vanilla M2 bone struct (108 bytes) with 28-byte animation tracks
- Version-aware bone parsing (vanilla vs WotLK format detection)
- Fix CharSections.dbc field layout for vanilla (variation/color at 4-5)
- Remove broken CharSections.csv files (all fields marked as strings)
- Expansion data reload on profile switch (DBC cache clear, layout reload)
- Vanilla packet encryption (VanillaCrypt XOR-based header crypt)
- Extended character preview geoset range (0-99) for vanilla models
- DBC cache clear support in AssetManager

7092844b5e Add multi-expansion support with data-driven protocol layer
Replace hardcoded WotLK protocol constants with a data-driven architecture
supporting Classic 1.12.1, TBC 2.4.3, and WotLK 3.3.5a. Each expansion
has JSON profiles for opcodes, update fields, and DBC layouts, plus C++
polymorphic packet parsers for binary format differences (movement flags,
speed fields, transport data, spline format, char enum layout).

Key components:
- ExpansionRegistry: scans Data/expansions/*/expansion.json at startup
- OpcodeTable: logical enum <-> wire values loaded from JSON
- UpdateFieldTable: field indices loaded from JSON per expansion
- DBCLayout: schema-driven DBC field lookups replacing magic numbers
- PacketParsers: WotLK/TBC/Classic parsers with correct flag positions
- Multi-manifest AssetManager: layered manifests with priority ordering
- HDPackManager: overlay texture packs with expansion compatibility
- Auth screen expansion picker replacing hardcoded version dropdown

aa16a687c2 Replace MPQ runtime with loose file asset system
Extract assets from MPQ archives into organized loose files indexed by
manifest.json, enabling fully parallel reads without StormLib serialization.
Add asset_extract and blp_convert tools, PNG texture override support.

c047446fb7 Add dynamic memory-based asset caching and aggressive loading
- Add MemoryMonitor class for dynamic cache sizing based on available RAM
- Increase terrain load radius to 8 tiles (17x17 grid, 289 tiles)
- Scale worker threads to 75% of logical cores (no cap)
- Increase cache budget to 80% of available RAM, max file size to 50%
- Increase M2 render distance: 1200 units during taxi, 800 when >2000 instances
- Fix camera positioning during taxi flights (external follow mode)
- Add 2-second landing cooldown to prevent re-entering taxi mode on lag
- Update interval reduced to 33ms for faster streaming responsiveness

Optimized for high-memory systems while scaling gracefully to lower-end hardware.
Cache and render distances now fully utilize available VRAM on minimum spec GPUs.

27d0496894 Add 1GB RAM cache for decompressed MPQ files
Eliminates repeated MPQ decompression overhead by caching decompressed
files in RAM with LRU eviction. Major performance improvement for file access.

Problem:
- Every readFile() call decompresses from MPQ (expensive!)
- M2 models, textures, WMO files decompressed repeatedly
- No caching of decompressed data
- MPQ decompression is CPU-intensive (zlib/bzip2)

Solution:
- Added 1GB LRU file cache to AssetManager
- Cache hit: instant return of decompressed data
- Cache miss: decompress once, cache for future access
- LRU eviction when cache full (removes least recently used)
- Don't cache files >100MB (avoid giant WMO chunks)
- Thread-safe with existing readMutex

Implementation:
- CachedFile struct: data + lastAccessTime
- fileCacheAccessCounter for LRU tracking
- Hit/miss statistics for monitoring
- Budget: 1GB (modern RAM easily handles this)

Performance impact:
- First load: same speed (decompress + cache)
- Subsequent loads: instant (no decompression)
- Expected 70-90% hit rate during normal play
- Huge benefit for frequently accessed models

Cache stats logged on shutdown to monitor effectiveness.
