v0.0.923

• Made the new sparse cloud instances show up reliably.
• Increased default cloud-instance coverage and tightened spacing so outdoor maps keep visible distinct cloud passes instead of frequently rendering an empty sky-shadow pass.
• Slightly strengthened cloud density/opacity defaults so each seeded instance reads clearly without reverting to the old blanket overcast look.

v0.0.922

• Refactored outdoor cloud shadows into sparse seeded cloud instances.
• Cloud placement now resolves as distinct overhead clouds with seeded spacing, size, density, and drift speed so outdoor ground shadows pass in separated patches instead of wide repeating bands.
• data/lighting.json now tunes cloud-instance coverage, band spacing, instance spacing, density range, and speed range while still supporting the cloud debug outline.

v0.0.920

• Added a cloud-shadow debug outline toggle.
• data/lighting.json can now enable a cloud debug outline and color so cloud footprints are easy to inspect while tuning.

v0.0.919

• Increased layered cloud-shadow presence.
• Outdoor cloud shadows now stack more layers with slightly stronger retained opacity so intermittent cloud bands remain visible without returning to full overcast coverage.

v0.0.918

• Rebalanced cloud-cover shadows to behave more like intermittent passing clouds.
• Outdoor cloud shadows now leave larger bright gaps between shadow bands and drift primarily left-to-right instead of blanketing the whole ground.
• Reduced default cloud-shadow darkness so the effect reads as softer moving shade instead of heavy overcast.

v0.0.917

• Thickened the new outdoor cloud-cover shadows.
• Increased cloud-shadow density, layer count, and opacity so overcast movement reads more clearly on the ground.
• Tightened the cloud-shadow scale so outdoor maps show more frequent shadow passes instead of long empty gaps.

v0.0.916

• Made outdoor cloud-cover shadows show up reliably.
• Cloud shadows no longer depend on the day-layer swap alone, so outdoor maps can still show drifting overcast during brighter dusk states.
• Increased the default cloud-shadow opacity, coverage, and layer count for a more readable first-pass result.

v0.0.915

• Added drifting outdoor cloud-cover shadows.
• Daytime outdoor maps now render a world-space cloud-shadow pass over terrain before entities draw, so overcast motion reads as shadows moving across the ground.
• Cloud-shadow coverage, drift, scale, darkness fade, and layer count are now tunable in data/lighting.json.
