Owner

Part of #1205.

(#5) Group colours (LLGroupColorMap): a colour per group on name tags, the minimap and the feed.
(#21) Sound emitter blacklist and attachment probe: per-object and per-wearer blocking, with permanent entries re-found after a re-rez. Build it on our derender list.
(#15) MMO chat log and IM well: a tabbed corner log (All / Local / Group / IM / Combat), spam collapsing, a faint mouselook view. Make it optional next to our console-style chat; don't replace it.
(#25) The Phosphor icons and Barlow font only as far as the features above need them (permissive licences, credited); not a reskin.
(#28) OCOL-labelled pieces (height mist floater, gesture-to-button): the owner considers the whole fork LGPL. Note the origin question in the commit.

For every stage:

Port by hand onto current dev. Their base is 44+ commits behind, and the renderer files have moved on.
Strip their settings down to the few that earn a place (minimal config space). Experiment toggles are Persist=0.
Never take their custom SDL3 build (SDL3-3.4.18-gmdx1), updater, crash reporter, installer or branding.
