mobile support tweaks

Show touch controls only on touch platforms and keyboard hints only on
desktop, via a shared Controls.use_touch_ui() gate (is_touchscreen_available
is unreliable with emulate_touch_from_mouse). Bumps version to 0.2.0.

 | Path | Purpose |
 |---|---|
-| `scene.tscn` | Main scene (arena + player) |
+| `scene.tscn` | The reusable **shell** loaded for every level: player, camera, HUD, PS1 filter, and an empty `LevelRoot`. Its `game_shell.gd` instances the active level's module into `LevelRoot` at runtime |
+| `levels/` | The level system: per-level module scenes plus the code that defines, loads and sequences them (see rows below) |
+| `levels/game_shell.gd` | Shell controller — on load, frees any current level module and instances `Run.active_level().level_scene` into `LevelRoot`. Swapping the whole subtree (never hiding it) is what keeps one level's meshes/colliders/spawners from leaking into the next |
+| `levels/arena_level.tscn` | The arena **level module**: floor + wall colliders, arena meshes, `MatadorSpawner` (with child `Node3D` spawn points placed by the designer), lighting, audience (`PublikNode`). Instanced into the shell's `LevelRoot` |
+| `levels/bear_level.tscn` | The Bear's Den **level module**: bear-arena mesh, its own floor collider, lighting, and a `BearSpawner` (`bear_spawn.gd`) that places the bear at center. Instanced into the shell's `LevelRoot` |
 | `Player.tscn` | Player scene root (`CharacterBody3D`) |

+| `levels/matador_spawn.gd` | Arena spawner — one matador per designer-placed child `Node3D` spawn point (each enters with a jump-roll toward center); falls back to a programmatic spread if no spawn points are present. Also handles the split-on-death hydra logic |
+| `levels/bear_spawn.gd` | Bear-level spawner — instantiates `enemy_scene` at the arena center; emits the same `all_defeated` / `matador_killed` signals as `matador_spawn.gd` |
+| `Bear.tscn` / `bear.gd` | Dark-Souls-style bear boss (`CharacterBody3D`). Routine state machine (wind-up → active → recovery) picking telegraphed moves by range band: Double Swipe / Overhead Smash (close), Leap Slam (mid-far), plus Stalk (2-leg walk-in) / Prowl (4-leg lope) positioning. Melee steps in during the swing (`bear_lunge_speed`) + tracks the bull; the leap is frame-synced to JUMP_SMASH so the paws hit ground on the impact frame (`bear_leap_impact_frame`); slams kick up dust + shake. Combos chain, hyper-armour mid-swing + poise (`bear_stagger_cd`), phase 2 enrage under `bear_enrage_frac` HP. Never damages the bull by colliding — only swings/slams. Joins `&"matador"` so bull abilities already hit it. Tuning under the `Bear` DP section |
+| `levels/run_state.gd` | Run progression autoload (`Run`) — Slay-the-Spire map + player position across fights |
+| `levels/level_def.gd` | `LevelDef` resource — a level's name / map colour / `scene_path` (always the shell) / `level_scene` (the level module instanced into the shell) / optional `enemy_scene` (arena wave vs. a boss like the bear) |
+| `levels/map_node.gd` | `MapNode` — one runtime node on the run map (position, level, links) |
+| `levels/MapScreen.tscn` / `levels/map_screen.gd` | Between-fights map screen; win → pick a node → next level |
 | `debug_params.gd` | Runtime-tunable parameter registry (autoload `DP`) |
 | `Assets/` | Raw 3D assets (`.glb`, `.fbx`) |

+## Dark-Souls-style boss bear with a learnable moveset. From NEUTRAL it weighs its
+## options by the range band to the bull and commits to one telegraphed routine —
+## wind-up (tell) → active (the hit) → recovery (the player's punish window). A routine
+## always plays to the end (hyper-armour: it takes damage mid-swing but isn't knocked out
+## of it), so every attack is readable and punishable. Variety comes from which routine
+## NEUTRAL picks (weighted per range band); predictability from each routine being fixed
+## once entered. Below bear_enrage_frac HP it enters phase 2: snappier tells/recovery and
+## longer combo chains.
+##
+## The bear only wounds the bull with its swings and slams — walking or leaping into the
+## bull does nothing. It plugs into the bull's combat interface: it joins the &"matador"
+## group so every bull ability already targets it (apply_ability_hit), and mauls the bull
+## via take_sword_hit.
