ControllerNavigator hardening — addresses “controller didn’t do anything in Unity” report. Two changes:

  1. Auto-bootstrap globally via [RuntimeInitializeOnLoadMethod] + DontDestroyOnLoad. Previously only spawned by CombatSceneBuilder.Start, so testing in Main Menu / Map didn’t fire the navigator at all. Now spawns at app start and survives scene loads.
  2. Diagnostic logging on first detected gamepad input — logs the device name + whether CombatManager / CombatUIManager are available. If you see this log on press, the navigator IS receiving input; if you don’t, Gamepad.current is null (Unity Editor focus issue — click into the Game window first).
  3. Mode-detection (mouse vs. controller) now runs even outside combat, so the diagnostic log fires regardless of which scene is active.
