Dawn 1.7.1 - Homecoming and Adieu, performance and bug fixes

Dawn 1.7.1

Homecoming and Adieu added, with performance improvements and bug fixes.

Missions

• Homecoming: added the Red War opening mission, including its opening scenes, Tower progression, encounters, ship-barrier sequence, and transition into Adieu.
• Adieu: added the City escape, Ghost reunion, mountain traversal, falcon sequences, encounters, soundtrack cues, and Hawthorne rescue ending. The mission starts with Traveler's Chosen (Damaged), with weapon pickups available along the way.

Performance and bug fixes

• Includes the existing stutter and runtime performance improvements.
• Fixed Adieu's City-exit stall and Ghost cleanup timing so his dialogue can finish before he disappears.
• Fixed Homecoming opening, native scene playback, and progression issues.
• Restored campaign objective and route-marker behavior across New Light, Gateway, A Deadly Trial, Beyond Infinity, Deep Storage, Tree of Probabilities, A Garden World, and Hijacked.
• Ported the New Light lighting hotfix: the Breach switch starts the authored room-lighting sequence and sound once, while preserving Ghost's return and subsequent shutter progression.
