## Description: Adds a **"Highlight small players"** client setting (in the in-game Settings menu). When it's on, human players holding **0.2% or less of the map** get a soft red glow that breathes (a pulsing aura) around their territory, starting **one minute into the game**. This makes near-eliminated players easy to spot on a busy map, even when their territory is scattered in fragments or sitting under structures. How it works: - **Purely client-side**, no simulation or determinism impact. `SmallPlayerGlowPass` renders a tile-space bloom: extract a sub-tile mask of the small players' tiles, run a separable Gaussian blur, then composite the soft aura over the map additively. It's camera-independent (no shimmer when panning/zooming), so scattered tiles blur into one clean halo. The aura breathes: its intensity fades fully to 0 at the trough for clear contrast. - The set is recomputed each tick in `WebGLFrameBuilder`: alive human players with `tilesOwned / (landTiles - fallout) <= 0.002` (0.2%), suppressed during the spawn phase and the first minute. - Backed by a persisted `UserSettings` flag, toggleable live from the in-game Settings modal (with a new, distinct icon). - Drawn after the structure passes so buildings can't hide it. - Mirrors the existing FalloutBloom pipeline and reuses the shared blur shader and render-target helpers rather than duplicating them. Tunable via `render-settings.json` (`smallPlayerGlow`: color / alpha / pulseSpeed).
