"""Build the Blender-vs-in-game comparison page.

    python3 Tools/build_comparison_md.py

Reads every in-game capture in `Screenshots/demo/` and every Blender render in
`Screenshots/blender/`, pairs them by name, and writes `Screenshots/COMPARISON.md`:

* one table with the two images **side by side per row**, so a mismatch is visible in a
  single glance rather than by opening two files;
* one signoff table, one row per in-game screen, for the owner's verdict.

Pairing is by name: `review-demo-vehicle.png` pairs with `vehicle-angle-*.png` because
both mention `vehicle`; anything unmatched is shown with an em dash rather than being
quietly dropped, since a missing Blender render is itself information.
