Reworked the layer merge system

Just pushed a big update to Shadowforge 🔥

  • Reworked the layer merge system (press M to merge)

  • Merging is now faster and more stable (no more weird sprite swapping issues)

  • Layers now merge directly like a proper art tool

  • Cleaner internal system = fewer bugs going forward

This is a big step toward making Shadowforge feel more like a real painting/editor tool.

More improvements coming soon 👀
