v0.34.0

Expanded controller-first hotkey access into two remappable radial wheels.
Menu Wheel now defaults to D-Pad Right and opens Inventory, Quests, Talents, Abilities, Ability Shop, Crafting, Action Log, and Hotkeys.
Utility Wheel now defaults to D-Pad Left and triggers Use Item, Hotbar 1, Hotbar 2, Cycle Q Item, and Reset Camera.
Added controller remaps for the new radial triggers and default D-pad zoom.
Options now exposes separate controller bindings for Menu Wheel, Utility Wheel, Zoom In, and Zoom Out.
Fresh/default controller bindings now use D-Pad Up and D-Pad Down for gameplay zoom.
Updated the controller Hotkeys HUD to match the new wheel layout.
On controller, the Hotkeys panel now shows separate Menu Wheel and Utility Wheel rows instead of a single legacy radial row.

Fixed controller cursor ownership and prompt rendering overhead.
Controller aiming now holds onto cursor ownership cleanly enough that the OS cursor no longer flickers back onscreen during pad use.
Short UI and PromptFont strings now reuse cached SDL text textures instead of rebuilding them every frame, which reduces the recent HUD/prompt rendering cost spike.
Tightened prompt-card layout polish.
The controller command wheel center card now wraps its helper copy instead of letting it overrun the panel.
Shrine activation prompts now size taller so the PromptFont action line no longer hangs below the card.

Improved controller command wheel feel and HUD clarity.
The command wheel now uses the right stick for selection, and controller aiming pauses while the wheel owns that stick.
The radial layout now uses a roomier spacing pass with cleaner slice cards and a less cramped center label.
Simplified the controller Hotkeys panel.
On controller, the Hotkeys panel now shows a single Command Wheel row instead of pretending Inventory, Quests, Crafting, Talents, Abilities, Ability Shop, and Action Log still have separate direct controller hotkeys.
That row now shows the View / Back prompt used to open the radial itself.

Added a controller command wheel for the major in-run menus.
Hold View / Back, tilt the left stick or press the D-pad, then release to open Inventory, Quests, Talents, Abilities, Ability Shop, Crafting, Action Log, or Hotkeys.
The Hotkeys HUD now shows those command-wheel prompts on controller when a menu does not have its own direct controller binding.
Simplified default controller menu access.
The old direct D-pad menu shortcuts and View-to-Inventory default are removed from fresh/default controller bindings.
Crafting, Action Log, and the Hotkeys toggle keep their direct controller defaults on R3, L3, and Both Analog Click (L3 + R3).
Added controller camera zoom fallback while using the command-wheel modifier.
Holding View / Back and pushing the right stick up or down now feeds the existing gameplay zoom path without needing a mouse wheel.

Added remappable Hotkeys toggle bindings.
The Hotkeys panel toggle is now a real remappable action in Options instead of being hardwired to Delete.
Controller defaults now bind the Hotkeys toggle to Both Analog Click (L3 + R3).
The Hotkeys HUD row now uses PromptFont’s Both Analog Click glyph when controller input is active.

Simplified Hotkeys prompt presentation.
The little square backplates behind Hotkeys prompt icons are now removed, leaving just the prompt glyphs inside the menu rows.
This avoids the lingering PromptFont-to-box alignment mismatch without changing the active-device prompt glyph behavior.

Tightened Hotkeys HUD prompt layout.
PromptFont hotkey icons now get a small left optical nudge after metric centering so they sit more cleanly over their square backplates.
Collapsing the Hotkeys panel now also suppresses the engine-rendered prompt overlays for hidden rows, so minimized mode no longer leaks stray key icons below the panel.

Improved Hotkeys HUD prompt alignment and menu remapping.
Hotkeys prompt glyphs now compensate for PromptFont glyph bearings so the visible icon sits centered inside each square instead of drifting right.
Crafting is now a real remappable action in Options instead of a hardcoded C key path.
Controller defaults now reserve R3 for Crafting and L3 for Action Log, and older controller saves migrate those old stick-click defaults off Swap Weapon and Toggle Follow.
