docs(licensing): remove ODbL attribution requirements and HUD credit references

Drop the OpenStreetMap/ODbL attribution requirement, the Google imagery rule,
and the related F-4 requirement, risk R-4, release check, and TODO items across
AGENTS, PLAN, ROADMAP, README, setup, architecture sections, and manifests.
OSM data is now documented as local private use only. Also normalize
numbered-list indentation in the architecture docs.

 - Verify licenses for every MPFB asset, texture, animation, vehicle, and audio file.
 - An asset whose license cannot be verified must not be committed. Record it as unresolved in `THIRD_PARTY_NOTICES.md` and replace it with a redistributable asset before the release.
-- Include "© OpenStreetMap contributors" and the appropriate license link; review ODbL obligations for distributed derived databases.
-- Do **not** use extracted Google imagery or geometry without explicit applicable rights.
 - Keep restricted assets out of the public repository; prefer redistributable replacements.
 - Review Epic distribution requirements before publishing builds.

 ## Open decisions
 
-- **ODbL posture.** Decide whether distributed builds contain a derived geographic database (a modified OSM extract) or only rendered geometry. The answer changes the share-alike obligations for the shipped product. Record the decision here and in the release notes.
 - **Reference photography retention.** Decided 2026-11-06: reference images are **not** committed. Licensing is not the gate for local, private development use, so images are simply kept out of the repository (`Art/reference/` is gitignored) and their provenance stays in the local sidecars. The gate moves to the shipped output: if a shipped asset would derive from a reference photograph, that is a release-time licensing decision, recorded in `THIRD_PARTY_NOTICES.md` before the asset ships.

 ## Why this bbox
 
-It contains the demo block from Highland Avenue to Orange Drive plus the whole north side within 50 m, with enough margin to include the streets' intersection nodes and the alley network behind the south frontage. It deliberately excludes the rest of the boulevard: larger extracts cost processing time and dilute the ODbL review.

 ## Coverage limits
 
 - Building interiors, heights above the tagged value, and pavement widths are not in this data. Treat all of it as layout.
 - The `height` tag exists on some buildings and is absent on others (`6838` has only `building:levels`, `6922` has neither). A missing tag is not a zero height.
 - The extract has no elevation. The DEM decision is still open; see `ROADMAP.md`.

 - [x] Build the walkable demo level: terrain, street, and hero facade assembled into one map with a start point on the north sidewalk, so the demo is something a player can walk rather than a review staging. **Built 2026-11-07** by `Tools/ue_build_demo_map.py` → `/Game/Hollywood/DemoMap`: sun/sky, `Hero_Facade`, six site meshes imported with collision (`Terrain_DEM`, `Road_Hollywood`, both sidewalks and both kerbs), and a `Demo_PlayerStart` on the north sidewalk 20 m back from the frontage. Demo views in `Screenshots/demo/` re-rendered and ☑ approved 2026-11-07.
 - [x] Walkable sidewalks and a designated street crossing. Crossing chosen: mid-block signalised crossing, OSM way 385648319, at 130 m along the block (`Geo/verification/2026-11-06-street-profile.md`). Done 2026-11-07: continental zebra markings (0.5 m bars / 0.5 m gaps, 3 m band) at all three signalised crossings, no collision on the paint; kerbs were already flushed at the crossings. Enablers found on the way: the street surfaces were 100 % down-facing (invisible in engine) — winding flipped; the terrain buried the street — 10.7 m corridor cut around the centreline (sidewalks cover the transition, walk-check 0 holes); LFS-lockable `.blend`/`.umap` check out read-only — builders now chmod before saving and fail loudly. Screenshot ☑ approved 2026-11-07 (`Screenshots/demo/review-demo-crossing`); the corridor renders near-black in shadow — that was the **Fixed daytime lighting** item, now also done.
 - [x] Fixed daytime lighting and basic ambience. **Done 2026-11-07, screenshots approved.** Demo map now has a fixed daytime rig in `Tools/ue_build_demo_map.py`: sun pitch −50 / yaw 120 (intensity 4, warm 255/245/230, atmosphere sun light), sky light 2.6 with real-time capture, sky atmosphere, height fog (density 0.008), and a manual-exposure post-process volume (min = max brightness 1.0) so a shot cannot wash out or crush to black. Two root causes found while doing it: (a) **Blender flat diffuse colours do not survive the FBX→UE import** — every site mesh arrived white and the terrain arrived with `WorldGridMaterial`, which is what actually made the scene look blown out; explicit `M_Asphalt` / `M_Concrete` / `M_Ground` / `M_RoadPaint` materials are now created and assigned in the demo builder. (b) only **one of the three crossings** was reaching the game: each band was its own object and Blender renamed the duplicates `.001`/`.002`, which site assembly skips; all bands are now one `Crossing_Markings` object. Demo cameras also fixed: street-level sat inside the façade body, and the crossing camera aimed at the wrong crossing (s=36.6 instead of the designated s=130.1 at UE X −14956). Lighting is dynamic-only (`r.AllowStaticLighting=False`, all lights Movable) so the editor's "LIGHTING NEEDS TO BE REBUILT" warning no longer fires. All four demo views approved by the owner.
-- [x] Geographic attribution display ("© OpenStreetMap contributors" + license link). Done 2026-11-07: `AGigLineHUD` (C++) draws the credit line and the licence URL (`© OpenStreetMap contributors` / `Data © OpenStreetMap contributors, ODbL 1.0 — openstreetmap.org/copyright`) in the bottom-left of every frame, wired through `AGigLineGameModeBase::HUDClass`. It is a plain `AHUD::DrawText`, so no UMG widget asset can be dropped from a cook. `AGigLineShotActor` now requests screenshots with the UI shown, so the attribution is visible in every image under `Screenshots/` and the obligation is provable, not just documented.
 
 ### Repository publication
 
 - [x] Remove confirmed private documents and bundled skills from publishable history while preserving local copies; validate all refs and LFS objects. Rewritten 2026-11-07; original history is in a separate private local backup.
 - [x] Scan all reachable Git history and the publication changes with Gitleaks 8.28.0. Removed an Android File Server security token from history and disabled the unused server; the rescans found no leaks.
 - [x] Review Unreal asset provenance via the generation/import scripts and inspect all 18 reachable Unreal asset versions for recognizable private-reference paths. No such paths were found; this is not a full binary-content audit.
-- [x] Review OSM source distribution notices: original data retains attribution and licence metadata, and the repository links directly to ODbL 1.0.
-- [A] Review ODbL obligations for each shipped derivative database or produced work before public release. In-game attribution display is implemented (`AGigLineHUD`, visible in every screenshot); the remaining question is the ODbL "derivative database" posture for a shipped build that contains OSM-derived geometry.
 - [x] Validate Gitea LFS support. The first push succeeded on 2026-11-07; a separate clone fetched all 26 historical LFS objects and passed integrity checks.
 - [x] Commit and review the publication preparation changes before pushing. Initial publication commit: `101db3f`.
