**Add approved & assigned issue number here:**
N/A — maintainer refactor.
## Description:
Makes each map's `info.json` the single source of truth for map metadata
— adding a map is now a folder with `image.png` + `info.json`, a
`gen-maps` run, and an en.json display name.
**info.json / manifest.json carry full map metadata.** Every
`map-generator/assets/maps/<map>/info.json` declares `id` (the
`GameMapType` enum key), `name` (the enum value — wire format, unchanged
for all 94 maps), `translation_key`, `categories`, and
`multiplayer_frequency` (the public-playlist weight that used to be the
`FREQUENCY` record in MapPlaylist.ts). The generator validates
everything and mirrors it into `resources/maps/<map>/manifest.json`. 23
stale info.json `name` values were normalized to the canonical enum
value; enum values are byte-identical, so replays and stored game
configs are unaffected.
**The generator emits the TypeScript and discovers maps itself.** New
`map-generator/codegen.go` generates `src/core/game/Maps.gen.ts`
(`GameMapType`, `GameMapName`, `mapCategories`, `mapTranslationKeys`,
`multiplayerFrequency` — now a full `Record<GameMapName, number>`,
killing the old `Partial`) on every run; `Game.ts` re-exports it. The
hardcoded map registry in `main.go` is gone — maps are auto-discovered
from the `assets/maps` / `assets/test_maps` directories. MapConsistency
tests fail with a "run `npm run gen-maps`" message if info.json,
manifest.json, and Maps.gen.ts drift. The tracked
`map-generator/map-generator` binary is rebuilt to match.
**New categories: continents + world/cosmic/tournament/other,
multi-category support.** `continental`/`regional`/`fantasy`/`arcade`
are replaced by `featured`, `world`, `europe`, `asia`, `north_america`,
`africa`, `south_america`, `oceania`, `antarctica`, `cosmic`,
`tournament`, and `other`. Maps can list multiple categories, so
straddlers (Black Sea, Bosphorus, Caucasus, Between Two Seas, Bering
Sea/Strait, Mena, Strait of Gibraltar, Hawaii, Arctic) appear under both
regions. Featured is itself a category (same 7 maps as before).
MapPlaylist keeps its arcade exclusion via an explicit set.
**Map picker UI.** Two tabs: **Featured** (default — featured maps plus
a Favorites section when maps are starred) and **All** (one prominent
collapsible bar per category with a map count, collapsed by default).
The selected map is prepended to the featured grid when it lives
elsewhere. `getMapName()` resolves through the generated
`mapTranslationKeys`, which also fixes tourney maps never resolving a
valid translation key.
## Please complete the following:
- [ ] I have added screenshots for all UI updates (maintainer change —
picker described above)
- [x] I process any text displayed to the user through translateText()
and I've added it to the en.json file
- [x] I have added relevant tests to the test directory

## Description:
Small-island removal previously ran only on the full-size terrain. The
compact (4x downscaled) map inherited that filtering before being
downscaled, which meant islands that survived at full size could end up
as tiny specks in the compact map.
This PR runs `removeSmallIslands` on the 4x terrain as well, with half
the threshold (15 vs 30 tiles), so very small islands are pruned in
compact maps while the full-size map is unchanged.

## Description:
Introduces 4 new private match maps for the OFM tournament in May.
Includes 2, 3, 4, and 8 player maps. Playtested, and include as many
default nations as the map expects players, named after compass points.

The base images were created from scratch based on prototype designs,
and they were converted from vector versions I made. I haven't decided
on what the names should be for the maps themselves, so for now they're
just `Tourney Map 1`, `Tourney Map 2`, etc. Ideas welcome.
