Honor the requested non-dev-UI behavior by making the 2x DAT-authored particle cutoff the application default while keeping Retail as the exact opt-down setting. Update migration tests and the divergence/roadmap documentation accordingly.
Release build succeeds and all 5,857 tests pass with five intentional skips.

Resolve DAT-authored particle ranges from the hardware GfxObj, apply retail distance and completed-cell visibility gates, and preserve the exact finite/infinite off-view update semantics. This removes dense-world simulation work without shortening terrain, entity, fog, or streaming distance.
Publish doorway-clipped outdoor cells through a focused frame controller, retain effect cell identity for outdoor statics, reject hidden emitters before particle-slot scans, and offer an explicit opt-in Extended particle range.
Release build succeeds and all 5,857 tests pass with five intentional skips. Retail-conformance, architecture, and adversarial review cycles are clean; connected Aerlinthe visual/performance gate pending.
