The symlink into research/ becomes real files: public/tokens-svg now
owns the hand-drawn set, edited in place and served as-is by the dev
server. The research folder is scaffolding with a demolition date,
not a place for shipped assets to live.

The hand-drawn SVG token set wires in behind deliberately
undocumented query params — svgPlayers, svgCreatures, svgTerrain,
svgObjects, each =true — swapping that category's art everywhere it
draws: board tokens, lobby standees, roster. public/tokens-svg
symlinks research/tokens-svg, so under the dev server an edit to the
source art shows on the next refresh, and the production build copies
real files through the link. Nobody finds the door unless handed the
key; the photographed set remains the face of the game.

Sharing the game's URL now unfurls a proper card: Open Graph and
Twitter meta tags with a 1200x630 preview composed from the physical
set's own counter art — WIZ-WAR in tall caps over the parchment, the
tagline in script, a row of wizard, troll, and treasure tokens, and
the fan-project line beneath. The favicon becomes the purple wizard
in his black hat, cropped from the counter sheet; the your-turn
variant wears a red badge, replacing the old lettered SVGs.

All 45 tokens cropped from Eric's photos of the physical counter
sheets by connected-component segmentation (with cable/reflection
filtering, merged-blob rescue, and one hand-tuned crop for the red
treasure the charging cable was hugging). Terrain squares, monsters,
wizards, treasures, floor objects, and dimensional warps now render
the genuine hand-inked art: solid stone, thornbush, rosebush, killer
ooze, dustcloud, slime, tacks, pit, safe, skeleton, troll, wraith,
fire imp, democratic monster, shadow, alter ego, dagger, rock,
master key, magic stones and wands, the six wizard standees, and the
six color-keyed treasure chests. Wizards and creatures wear a thin
controller-color ring; art tokens cast a soft cardboard shadow;
terrain art passes clicks through to the floor while wizards and
creatures stay clickable. Every vector rendering remains in place as
automatic fallback (USE_TOKEN_ART flag plus per-kind mapping), per
Eric's request. Sprites live in packages/web/public/tokens at 144px.
