Epoch v0.87.44

Stable updater crash repair.

• Fixes cancel/retry stability for launcher and editor source-update paths.
• Keeps launcher mode switches blocked while recent source-update cancellation is still settling.
• Removes the legacy working-directory-relative source cleanup path in favor of executable-local update work roots.
• Includes Windows and Linux runtime packages plus SHA-256 checksums.

Epoch Engine v0.84.38

Epoch Engine v0.84.38 refreshes the stable runtime packages with the command-menu stability fix and the executable-local cache layout.

Highlights:

• Command/dropdown menus now render through the guarded OpenGL top-layer path and close when clicking outside.
• Updater/runtime-created files now stay beside the install under cache/updates, cache/packages, and cache/atlases.
• Windows package ships EpochEditor.exe, assets, README, and LICENSE only.
• Linux package ships epoch, assets, README, and LICENSE only; DirectX remains Windows-only.
• README and roadmap now point at the current WSL OpenGL proof image and v0.84.38 release line.

Validation:

• Windows Release CMake build and CTest passed.
• Windows package smoke reports Epoch v0.84.38 from the package root.
• WSL/Linux Clang Release build and CTest passed.
• Linux package smoke reports Epoch v0.84.38 from the package root.

Epoch 'Storage Friendly' Bootstrap

Tiny bootstrap updater-shell release rebuilt from current source. This drop exists to retarget self-update onto the new packaged runtime asset names. Packaged version files are intentionally pinned to 0.83.85 so this shell can immediately move forward into the v0.83.86 runtime release.
