Docs: roadmap — Emissive-Gloam shader + skinned Drowner bind (art progress)

Browse Source 
A0: all 3 master shaders now present (Emissive-Gloam authored as HLSL w/
in-shader flicker). A1: skinned recipe proven for a LANTERN creature
(EnemyRigTools.BuildDrowner -> EnemyDrowner.prefab); in-game animated run +
custom-kit reattach + suit/2nd-creature still open. Flags the Generic-vs-
Humanoid rig-type discrepancy vs CLAUDE.md to reconcile.
