Game update

Patch #18 (Hot-Fix #26)

This patch targeted the freezes and micro-stutters directly:

Smooth scrolling — an old anti-tearing mechanism forced the game to restyle the entire page every time a scroll started or stopped, on every tab. It's now scoped to the one background layer it was built for. Scroll feel should be dramatically better everywhere.
No more interaction freezes — item artwork was being decoded on the game thread the moment it appeared, stalling tab switches and scrolling. All images now decode in the background and load lazily.
Rhythmic background hitch fixed — the Bone Grinder was rebuilding your entire open tab every 5 seconds, forever. It now updates only what it actually changes.
Opening and closing the Bank no longer forces a full page re-layout.

New hunting contract: "Ending the Undying" — Hunting Lv 80: hunt The Undying Lich ×8 for 3,000g plus void crystals, essence, bones and flawed diamonds. Grinding the Lich for its ultra-rare drops now pays Hunting XP and Points the whole way.
Chapter VIII "The Seal" no longer requires clearing The Eternal Throne — the Ignarath kill requirement already proves apex readiness.

Cremation pet now drops from offline Bone Grinder burning — Bone Grinder owners previously had a 0% offline pet chance (the "cremated 100k bones, no pet" bug). Long sessions now roll fair odds for every bone burned.
Auto-dungeon fixes — checking story requirements no longer stops your run on Hardcore, and a full satchel now clearly tells you why auto-repeat paused instead of stopping silently.
Auto-accept contracts no longer fires without the perk — dungeon auto-repeat was renewing hunting contracts for players who hadn't bought Auto-Accept.
Cremation now benefits from skill-speed buffs (Ash Salts, the Hunting Store Skill-Speed Boon, and more) like every other skill — and bone cards show the buffed time with a hover breakdown of every active bonus.
Removed the obsolete "Stop burying when CP is full" toggle — Pyre Charges are uncapped.
Bank quality-of-life: a proper themed scrollbar, columns no longer shift when the scrollbar appears, and rarity glows stay contained to their own slots.
