Melee feel overhaul: SwordCombat anims at heavy cadence, salvage axe, damage-at-contact + buffer + dash law (guidelines forks 1-6)

07-18/19/20 arc: LightCombo01/HeavyCombo01 clips onto Swing1-3/Slam at
~natural speed (26-tick window, 30-tick recover, DPS-held damage retune),
Menacing01 combat idle (InCombat), SM_Wep_Axe_Large_01 rigid-skinned to
Hand_R at x1.25, LANTERN FX retone + blade-smear ribbon. Forks 1-6 per
Combat_Attack_Feel_Guidelines (design review wf_000bc247): cleave resolves
at the CONTACT tick (MeleeCleavePending schedule-and-consume, knob 31,
0=legacy; connect cues moved to contact), MeleeRange 2.2 + reach-only
finisher mult 1.25 (knob 30), BufferedAttackTick GhostField input buffer
(knob 29, unlock-edge validity), dash refused pre-contact (lookup-based).
Tests: MeleeComboTests pin legacy knobs; +3 fork tests (414 green); live
server proof: HP drop exactly at swing+16 under tick batching.
