tools/fetch_sounds.py (and the lab.py functions it used) becomes
`horizon-prepare sounds` (horizon_prepare::sounds): the pinned asset index,
sounds.json and every .ogg from the player's own launcher install, each SHA-1
checked, into .local/horizon-client/<version>. The launcher runs it as part of
Prepare (in-process, the version's own binary when its sources differ and it
knows the subcommand, in-process for older versions), and a launcher install
without the assets only logs that the game will be silent. Player docs no
longer mention Python for sound.

The launcher prepares a version in-process when it ships the preparer sources
the launcher was built with, with the version's own horizon-prepare when they
differ, and with the Python script only for versions made before it. Release
folders ship horizon-prepare and its sources; resources are reused between
versions with the same preparer. The game's messages, PLAY.txt, the docs and
release builds name horizon-prepare, and tools/prepare_native_client.py is a
wrapper of it for the development tools.

release.yml builds horizon-ctl beside the client (checked for system-only
imports like it), packaging/package.sh copies it from beside the client binary
and refuses to package without it (the macOS folders made by hand go through
the same script), and package_native_client.py adds it to private archives.

An original logo (a sun setting behind a blocky horizon), a banner and a social
preview card, and six screenshots captured in the Rust client. The README opens
with badges, a short pitch and a gallery; a test keeps the parity badge in step
with the subsystem table. Packaged builds use the logo as their menu icon.

Horizon now targets Linux and macOS only: remove the Windows CI runners and
wgpu's DX12 backend, and update the scope docs. The Ubuntu RTX 4080 desktop
becomes the first physical Linux target. tools/package_native_client.py bundles
a release build with its prepared resources and a launcher for playing on
another machine of the same platform.
