Unified contributions, cover images
New- Add a Game, Edit game, and admin amend flows now share one form

- On a game page, related expansions appear in a tree under their edition in Related games, with the year beside each name.
- Introduced pagination via a Load More button, loading 24 games at a time.

- Homepage loads fewer cover images at once (load more), with faster image caching to reduce hosting usage.

Improved- Favourites use a bookmark icon so they are easy to tell apart from star ratings.
Games Added- Black powder second edition
- Black Powder Red Earth
Warband inheritance and richer admin tooling
New- Warbands now inherit across a game tree — a warband added to a parent game shows up in every edition and expansion automatically, with an 'Introduced in' label so its origin is clear.
- Admins can amend pending submissions before approving them, so small fixes don't need to be bounced back to the contributor.

Improved- Game form now captures designer, parent game, and edition number.
