MeatSlicer Developer a02cff52cf Add pressure dial, wave spawn telegraphs, and readability pass

- Bigger gore-red Minis (r10->14, sprite 32->48) with regenerated art
- Wider, walkable doorways: clear passage for open, teeth only when locked
- 500ms spawn telegraph so wave spawns no longer blindside the player
- Item stickiness ramps 10%/owned item (cap 50%) instead of flat 50%
- Title-screen Pressure Dial (-5..+5) tunes rise/relief; score x live pressure
- Vitals HUD: two-row hearts, half-container outlines, half-heart shield pips
- Readable 8-page field manual (bigger panel + fonts, implants split)
- HUD opacity slider in pause menu (boss bar + toasts stay opaque)
- Scrap Feed now has diminishing returns like Thick Hide
- Docs, cache-bust v37, and smoke coverage for all of the above

Perks

All 23 perks in MeatSlicer, with exact effects pulled from js/perks.js. Perks are chosen through the Mutation Draft each time you level up, and last for the rest of the run.

The Mutation Draft

Gaining a level queues a draft. When it opens, you're offered 3 random perks from the full pool — all 23 perks are equally weighted; there is no rarity system.
Choose with 1 / 2 / 3, by clicking a card, or press 4 / Space for a "Random Cut".
Press R to reroll all three choices (costs 1 reroll token). Rerolls come from the Reroll Rib item, which also grants +1 reroll every level-up.
Press T to toggle Auto-Draft: future level-ups instantly pick a random perk without pausing the game. The setting persists between sessions.
Level-ups queue: gain two levels at once and two drafts resolve back-to-back.

XP curve

XP needed for the next level: 8 + level × 4

3 → 4	20	48
4 → 5	24	72
5 → 6	28	100
10 → 11	48	300

XP comes from gems dropped by kills, room clears, and bosses, scaled by your xpMul (Gorging Leech item, Bloodrush perk).

Bloodrush	+5% XP gain, bonus crystal chance	`xpMul ×1.05`
Scrap Feed	5% less ammo (diminishing)	`ammoEff +0.05` per stack — saving fraction = rating/(1+rating), so each extra stack helps less (like Thick Hide)

Drafting advice

Perks are small, items are big. A perk is worth ~0.5 power score; an item tier is worth 1.0. Perks smooth out a build; items define it.
Shield Heart is one of the strongest defensive picks — it's a free refilling shield pip every floor, and it stacks with Bone Plate.
Scavenger / Bloodrush / Magnet Bile early compound over a long run; Sharpened / Adrenal Surge scale whatever your weapon already does well.
With Auto-Draft on, perks become a no-attention background bonus — good for speedrunning floors, bad if you're fishing for a specific build.
