v0.5.0 final pass: AI and Deck fixes (D565-D567), docs and site refresh

Fixes:
- D565: AI awareness no longer follows two player render settings. Fog
  distance is floored at 100 (below it the shortened clip hid guards from
  AI on-screen checks); the D466 gameplay fog cull is rescaled to the game's
  own FOV (identity at defaults).
- D566: Steam Deck Game Mode no longer shows the on-screen keyboard at
  launch (SDL text input stopped; screen-keyboard hint off).
- D567: opening PC Options from the front end with a pad no longer drags
  the game's crosshair to the top-left corner.

Docs and site:
- README News/Status/Features/controls brought up to date; the unpublished
  v0.4.1 work is folded into v0.5.0 everywhere; stats to v0.5.0.
- Release notes reordered: player-facing highlights first, finding labels
  and verification at the bottom.
- Site status rewritten; favicon is now the exe icon (make_icon.py writes
  docs/favicon.ico).
- ROADMAP: AI review results, update-check follow-up, stale rows closed.

Verified: Windows + Linux builds; Windows pixel gate Surface 1 PASS;
Deck build deployed for the maintainer's Game Mode checks.

-### v0.5.0 (2026-10-05) — the campaign and split-screen both run end to end.
+### v0.5.0 (2026-10-06) — split-screen multiplayer, one options menu, closer to the N64.
 
-- **Single-player campaign complete.** All 20 missions plus the
-  ending-credits sequence, completable end to end at a steady 60 fps.
-- **2–4 player split-screen multiplayer.** Supported on every multiplayer
-  map; playtested on Windows, Linux and Steam Deck.
-- **One real options system.** A single menu, laid out like the Perfect
-  Dark port's — plain-English wording, real-unit sliders, a one-line
-  description per option — with the game's own **N64 control styles as a
-  per-seat preset**.
-- **Emulator save files load directly.** Copy a 1964 / Project64 save into
-  `data/` and it is converted on first launch.
-- **A scalable HUD overlay**, fullscreen and window-centring controls, and
-  antialiased overlay controls.
-- **A fidelity round checked frame-by-frame against the N64 game** (fog,
-  aspect-ratio letterboxing, the Watch menu's own settings), with the
-  reference-frame gate re-based on both platforms (21 levels, 63 frames
-  each).
-- The small stuff: a menu wording, units and help-text pass, and
-  standardised menu spelling.
+- **2–4 player split-screen multiplayer** on every multiplayer map, each
+  player with their own pad, controls and aim settings.
+- **One options menu** for every setting, laid out like the Perfect Dark
+  port's, with the game's own crosshair as the mouse pointer. Pick the game's
+  own N64 control styles (1.1–2.4) per player, or the Xbox release's presets
+  with per-player pad rebinding; PlayStation and Nintendo pads show their own
+  button names.
+- **Closer to the N64:** fog and haze (Surface 2's ground fog, the sky at the
+  horizon), automatic-weapon fire rate, sniper and camera zoom, Dam and
+  Caverns water, the Jungle boss fight's timing, guard visibility in
+  widescreen, and the Dam ending camera.
+- **Fewer crashes and glitches:** a multiplayer crash with the crouched rifle,
+  rockets passing through the ground, and broken geometry around Aztec's
+  shuttle.
+- **A steady 60 fps on low-end GPUs** (tested on an Intel HD 3000 laptop),
+  with lighter first-launch defaults on Atom/Celeron-class graphics.
+- **Emulator saves load directly:** copy a 1964 or Project64 save in as
+  `data/ge007.eep` and it is converted on first launch.
+- Also: more audio, video and control settings (master volume, audio device,
+  trilinear filtering, draw distance up to 800%, PC-friendly crouch and
+  look-ahead defaults), and controllers are picked up again when replugged.
