ALPHA BUILD 0.000.035.03 // (13.08.26)
- Adds CASEVAC system with reactive marker, shared transport, and final-approach logic
- Adds RCW confirm/cancel actions for CASEVAC
- Adds smoke grenade SFX — first pass implementation; visuals will continue to develop through EA
- Adds supply crate drop on first reinforcement call

- Adds weapon swap functionality (1 - rifle, 2 - handgun, etc)
- Adds M4 Shotgun (Benelli) to starting and deployment loadouts
- Fixes close-range hit resolution following a first pass correction to weapon accuracy values: real-world ballistic data was not being applied correctly, causing operators to underperform at ranges where they shouldn't
- Fixes aimed shot and controlled pair producing inconsistent results for the same operator: both now correctly draw from the same underlying accuracy calculation
- Fixes injuring an enemy with a grenade not cancelling their overwatch
- Fixes enemy overwatch and suppression zones displaying visibly by default — now hidden as intended

- Updates camera controls to be consistent across top-down, isometric, and zoomed-out third-person modes
- Updates End Turn back into inner ring toggle pending permanent placement
- Adds headgear compatibility logic: items that cannot be worn simultaneously are automatically swapped out when conflicting gear is equipped (e.g. equipping a helmet pulls off a baseball cap and returns it to inventory)
- Updates build number to 035.03
