Plants now live full lives. The genome gains lifespan, dispersal, fecundity,
self-pollination, mutation-rate and a discrete dominant/recessive Morph gene;
PlantGenome.Breed models meiosis (one allele per parent) plus mutation. A
gated PlantLifecycleSystem builds a per-cell grid (density + a species/genome
representative), reaps plants past their lifespan, and lets mature plants seed
offspring — cross-pollinating with a mature same-species neighbour in dispersal
range (falling back to self-pollination by gene) into a nearby land cell under
the density cap. A shared PlantFactory creates every plant (initial scatter,
births, save restore) and tints recessive-morph plants. Growth keeps aging
mature plants so they can die of old age. The whole population (genomes,
positions, age, stage) is saved to WorldSave and restored on load instead of
re-scattering from the seed. plants.json carries the new genes.

Bump the engine submodule to d0104df (Suitability.Gaussian). Each plant now
carries a diploid PlantGenome (allele pairs, phenotype = allele average) seeded
from a per-species GenomeDef baseline at spawn. PlantGrowthSystem replaces the
flat fertility multiplier with vigor times a product of Gaussian suitabilities
for light (day/night), temperature (climate season) and the cell's fertility —
so plants grow faster in their preferred light/warmth/soil and crawl outside it.
Genomes are visible and editable in the ECS inspector. plants.json carries the
species genomes.

Bump the engine submodule to f791ee6 (Calendar) and use it to drive plant
growth. PlantDef gains a Stages list (texture/size/growDays per stage,
inheritable via abstract parents in plants.json); a resolved PlantSet
table turns those into atlas regions and day thresholds at scene load.
New PlantGrowth component plus PlantGrowthSystem advance each plant by
in-game days from the Calendar and swap its sprite/scale at stage borders.
WorldScene scatters plants again with a seed-deterministic, varied initial
maturity, registers the calendar and growth system, and the HUD now shows
the current day. Stage durations and visuals are pure data in plants.json.

The whole game is now described by Mods/Core — the first consumer of
the engine's new MrGameEng.Mods module:
- textures/ moved to Mods/Core/Textures; atlases are built at game
start from the merged texture tree of all active mods into Cache/
(gitignored, incremental) instead of being committed, and the
GameAssets atlas handles are gone with them
- terrain, plants and pawns are JSON defs (Mods/Core/Defs) with parent
inheritance; scenes read TerrainDef/PlantDef/PawnDef instead of
hardcoded arrays, and the TerrainKind enum is retired
- HUD strings come from Mods/Core/Languages (ru default, en fallback)
through LanguageManager; the language switches at runtime
- new console commands: mods, lang [code], defs [type]; atlas now
inspects the runtime-built cache
- bump engine: MrGameEng.Mods module and the explicit-sources
AtlasBuilder overload
