re-sampled if the spritesheet is repainted.

Julius Sans One as fallback), giving the game a consistent pixel-art
aesthetic. Update PreloadScene to warm the new font alongside
YummyCupcakes.

pending bait heroes stay in town with fly-in tokens; pending draw cards
show card backs until animations land
- Dungeon Boss: keep heroes in battle zone after roomHit/pass instead of
returning them immediately
