- ue_import_site.py: auto_generate_collision=True so FBX static meshes get real collision geometry (they imported with none -> complex-as-simple had nothing to use, player fell through). - ue_build_demo_map.py: PlayerStart cap raised to Z300 so the capsule feet start above the ~Z99-138 terrain surface there (an embedded spawn point is rejected -> 'NO PLAYERSTART with positive rating' -> origin fallback). - Re-imported site meshes + rebuilt DemoMap with the above. KNOWN-UNRESOLVED: packaged plain launch still spawns the capsule around Z-123 and falls; downward trace finds no geometry. Map assets are all present in the pak and referenced; runtime collision behavior needs a visual/interactive check (headless commandlet traces are unreliable). Investigate on this branch; do not merge to main.
