Compile Times

Switched to unity builds + ccache; full-clean drops from 4m12s to 1m04s. The trade-off is a measurably worse incremental edit-compile-run loop, so we keep both modes.

Notes from QA

The bestiary now properly enumerates summon variants. Boss arenas correctly preserve bestial state across saves. We are no longer haunted by ghost colliders.
