## A whole stand of cheering spectators rendered as camera-facing billboards in a
## single draw call — the performant replacement for dozens of skinned crowd skeletons.
## The sprite sheet is baked from the existing crowd figure by tools/bake_crowd_sheet.gd.
##
## Placement mirrors an existing crowd node (default: the sibling PublikNode) so the
## billboards land exactly where the crowd was authored; if that node is missing it
## falls back to a generated tribune so the scene still populates.
