v0.48.7

Improved George cleric healing readability.
George’s Cleric militia now use a visible heal burst on their target instead of relying on health bars quietly rising.
Cleric heals still keep the support highlight, but now reuse the stronger small-heal visual pass already used by other healer kits.

Improved George’s support HUD and building controls.
George now shows a dedicated Supply panel to the left of Lives, matching Sage’s support HUD treatment.
The minimap wallet strip now only shows Copper and Gold instead of duplicating Supply beside those currencies.
Barracks training rows and Tower garrison controls now respond reliably from the live selected-building overlay.

Fixed George’s build flow so it no longer pauses single-player combat.
Opening the Build menu now leaves the live match running instead of routing through the shared pause overlay.
Clicking a build option now immediately anchors the matching ghost structure for RTS-style placement instead of stalling in the menu.
Improved George militia navigation.
Builder-trained mini units now reuse the smarter merc-style steering state for wall-following and collision-aware pathing.
Summoned mini units now correctly activate their configured merc-style controller path as well.

Reworked Sage summon control and threat handling.
Enemies now keep pressing toward Sage by default, but will peel to a nearby Sage summon when that summon is the closer target.
Sage’s summons now reuse tighter merc-style regroup and stuck-recovery behavior, and Rally recalls spread the swarm around Sage instead of piling every summon onto one point.
Improved Sage summon survivability and presentation.
Beetles and snakes now have much higher health, shields, armor, dodge, and out-of-combat regeneration.
Sage now shows a dedicated summon supply panel beside the Lives panel, and starts runs with a 5 supply cap.
Fixed wasted Sage summon casts at the supply cap.
Summon Beatle, Summon Snake, and Swarm Burst no longer spend energy, trigger cooldowns, or fire when Sage is already at the supply cap.
Sage now gets a first-run Kalibros tutorial explaining drag-select plus right-click summon orders on keyboard/mouse.

Updated Cigarette Puff hotbar presentation.
The Puff ability icon now uses assets/Sprites/Equipment/Cigarette.png frame 0 instead of a shared ability-sheet icon.
The hotbar icon stays on frame 0 even while the equipped buff card switches to the lit frame during an active Puff.

Updated Cigarette Puff feedback.
Puff buff text and hotbar text now correctly describe the 10% self-poison instead of the old 25% value.
Cigarette Smoke now respawns periodically for the full Puff duration so the Warden keeps emitting smoke while the buff is active.

Fixed and retuned Cigarette Puff.
Puff self-poison now deals 10% of current health over the buff duration instead of 25%.
Puff self-poison now bypasses shields and only drains health.
Cigarette Smoke now uses the shared sprite-sheet VFX path so the drifting smoke effect is visible when Puff is activated.

Added Cigarette as a new Artifact trinket.
Cigarette uses Cigarette.png, rolls artifact-level mixed offense affixes, and keeps the same rainbow Artifact item-name and loot-beam treatment as the rest of the artifact pool.
Equipping Cigarette grants Puff on the next open artifact hotkey with a 30s cooldown.
Puff now doubles physical and magical damage for 15s, poisons the Warden for 25% of current health over that duration, and flips the equipped buff icon to the lit frame while active.
Each Puff also spawns a rising Smoke cloud from assets/Sprites/Spells/Smoke.png that drifts away and damages enemies on contact.
