Added a level picker and Character Studio

Choose the lake, Reach, practice course or character-only studio before loading the game.

I added level selection to the start screen so the destination is chosen before the game loads. Willowglass Lake, the larger Reach, the practice course and the original cove remain separate choices.

I also added Character Studio: a lit floor for inspecting the bird without the landscape, water or wildlife. It has its own save slot and makes character-focused checks easier to repeat.

“Choose the environment before loading it.”

The start screen describes each choice. Selecting a lighter test area does not require first loading the full landscape.

I repaired the Help panel alongside these controls and deferred preparation of the enemy hawk until it actually spawns. The hawk remains an enemy, not a playable character.
