v0.16.1

Fixed in-game Steam Cloud save uploads reporting a generic failure.
Save Management now reports when Steam Cloud is disabled for the current account or app session.
Cloud status now shows available Steam Cloud quota and whether the remote file is still pending sync.
Manual upload and delete now re-enable app cloud for the session before calling Steam Remote Storage.

Added in-game save management tools to the Options menu.
New Save Management panel shows the active profile slot plus live local and Steam Cloud save status.
Backup Save now force-saves the current profile, writes a timestamped backup copy in the save folder, and uploads the active save to Steam Cloud.
Restore Save now lets players pull the Steam Cloud profile over the current local save without leaving the game.
Delete Save now removes the active local save and requests Steam Cloud deletion so players can fully reset progression.

Opened roaming boards during active waves and deferred their payouts to the next wave start.
Event, Bounty, and Contract boards can now be opened whenever the Warden is in range instead of waiting for downtime.
Event modifiers and contract tracking now queue cleanly for the next upcoming wave, matching the bounty board’s existing next-wave spawn timing.
Board onboarding copy and panel labels now explain the queued next-wave behavior.

Added first-time board onboarding and interaction markers.
The first approach to each Event, Bounty, and Contract board now triggers a one-time Kalibros dialogue explaining what that board does during downtime.
Boards now raise an in-world interaction icon after their first discovery, and that icon clears permanently once the Warden opens the matching board for the first time.

Refined Bjorn’s combat flow and fixed Nord Banner debuff health handling.
Shield Bash now travels roughly twice as far, reaching a half-dash instead of the shorter quarter-dash feel.
Flurry of Blows now allows movement during the attack sequence and grants 70% reduced incoming damage while active.
Shield Bash now uses a slimmer golden trail, and the Nord Banner enemy-health debuff no longer strips current HP when enemies enter the aura.

Polished Bjorn’s in-match presentation.
Bjorn now renders at the same 1:1 size as the other standard 16x16 Wardens, and his combat sheet no longer shrinks during normal attacks or Flurry of Blows.
Shield Bash now leaves a short golden dash trail, and Furious Regeneration now shows its own overhead status icon.

Added Bjorn as a new unlockable Warden.
Bjorn joins the roster as a fast high-health berserker with Flurry of Blows, Shield Bash, Furious Regeneration, and Nord Banner.
Added The Hollow Crown, a new Valor unlock that requires killing Baron Von Dreadmoor while carrying an uncleansed corrupted item.
Nord Banner now buffs Bjorn and weakens nearby enemies with overhead status icons so its area of control is readable in combat.

Clarified Kalibros’s first Verdaxis warning.
The first dragon-boss tutorial now tells players that Verdaxis is invincible and regenerates health while flying, alongside the existing obelisk reminder.
