Patch: Network Improvements, 'Kick Player' Option, Localization Fixes, QoL

Yo, cultists,

Another patch, straight from the oven. We heard you about adding the option to kick or silence misbehaving folks from lobbies, which is exactly what we're doing with this update. In addition, there are stability improvements, various fixes, QoL changes, and other delicious stuff here. Here we go:

Additions

• Host admin panel. The host can now kick or mute players from an in-game player roster in the pause menu.
• 2 new incantations. Can you find them?

Gameplay & Fixes

• Profanity Policy: fixed spoken profanity not registering at all, and tuned voice detection so normal speech no longer trips it (e.g., saying "hello" is no longer misheard as a curse), with a cooldown.
• Added an "OVERTIME! Clock out now!" prompt to the HUD once you meet quota.
• Localization - previously untranslated bits, such as burger, drink, and sides names, are now translated
• Fixed several achievements unlocking only for the host (shift, earnings, perfect shift, failed shift) — they now unlock for the whole crew.
• Fixed hot bar icons lingering after a held or holstered item is destroyed.
• Look inversion no longer flips the X axis, just Y only
• Fixed carried objects jittering/fighting while held.
• Corrected a consumable buff label ("Increased Fun" → "Increased Stamina").
• Happy is no longer pushed around by customers

Multiplayer & Customization

• Server browser and lobby stability fixes.
• The customization mirror now shows mask, cape, voice, and eye-color names in your selected language, including locked-item labels.
• Fixed players shoving each other out of view at the mirror, and getting movement-stranded there after a host kick/disconnect; plus collision fixes.
• Restored the crayon-scribble mask as a progression unlock.
• Temporarily removed the Bear Trap from the shop.
• Expanded translation coverage for shop item text.

Maps

• Khy'vin: fixed false/instant deaths, collision issues (falling through geometry / getting stuck), and re-baked lighting.
• Visual and geometry cleanup across 50s Diner, Backrooms, BRGR, Festival, The Farm, and the Lair.
• Fixed the coloring on the salmon nuggets bag.

Audio

• New and updated music tracks (Main Menu Munchies, Perk Up, and Double Shift).
• Miscellaneous audio balancing.
• Added opt-in for keyword detection
