genericMud v0.7.2

Star Conquest communicator sounds actually play

• The earlier bracket-pattern fix let the communicator trigger fire, but its
  per-channel selector still used VIPMud's %ifWord function, which genericMud
  did not understand. Every selector therefore evaluated false before reaching
  its sound.
• %ifWord, parenthesized true/false results, and, or, and NOT conditions
  now work. All 11 built-in Star Conquest communicator branches were checked
  against the current 2.8.1.1 pack and resolve their real sound files; the two
  configurable community-channel sounds work as well.

New worlds and saved worlds have separate dialogs

• Ctrl+N now opens a focused New World form. Ctrl+O opens an alphabetical
  saved-world list with connection details, Connect, Edit, and New World
  actions. Creating a world saves it by default.
• Host and port errors stay in the form with a useful message instead of
  silently connecting to port 4000. Invalid saved or imported ports are rejected,
  and a damaged worlds file no longer prevents startup.

Find now finds the first result

• A new search includes the newest line when searching backward and the oldest
  line when searching forward. This fixes searches in one-line output and terms
  that only occur at a scrollback boundary.
• Reopening Find restarts from the chosen edge. F3 and Shift+F3 remain exclusive
  repeats, so they advance to another match. Find remains scoped to the output:
  Ctrl+F in the command box keeps its normal editing behavior.

The Windows build opens only the GUI

• The packaged app now uses the Windows GUI subsystem, so launching
  genericMud.exe no longer opens a terminal beside it. The local build script
  now produces the same one-folder, audio-enabled layout as the release build.
• Windowed startup and voice fallback paths no longer assume stdout or stderr
  exists. The alternate web UI chooses free local ports, reports boot failures,
  and closes its engine, socket, and HTTP server cleanly.

Typing and completion are more reliable

• Ctrl+Shift+Space can begin completion in reverse in both interfaces. The web
  interface now also learns completion words from output.
• Escape and modified Enter reach the engine in the web interface, while
  copy/paste, browser Find, macOS Command shortcuts, and AltGraph typing remain
  local. Commands entered while its socket is opening are queued after
  authentication instead of disappearing.

Settings and soundpack updates survive interrupted writes

• Worlds, preferences, credentials, soundpack indexes, user rules, pack state,
  and updater state now use atomic replacement. Corrupt or malformed rows fall
  back safely instead of crashing startup or turning strings into enabled
  settings.
• Replacing a soundpack is staged and rolls back if copying or index persistence
  fails. The no-code rules editor validates changes before replacing its working
  rules.
• Closing an older tab no longer unregisters a newer tab that happens to use the
  same world name.

Update prompts carry useful release notes

• The updater dialog now receives this version's actual changelog section from
  the GitHub release instead of generic installation boilerplate.
