🐛 Bug Fixes
- Ramp wall climbing removed○ Characters could previously wedge into ramp corners and climb walls slowly. ○ Wall friction has been reduced — this no longer seems possible.
Wall clipping when climbing ramps fixed: ○ Hugging angled walls while moving up ramps could clip the character into geometry. ○ Cause: Walls were separated per floor. ○ Fix: An invisible wall object now stretches across floors, preventing clipping.
