Subject: [PATCH] Doodle-jump camera and remove player shadow

- Camera now uses a trigger line at 42% from top. Player rises/falls
  freely below the line; camera only scrolls up past it, never down.
- Remove playerShadow graphics that followed the hero around.
- Ignore .vercel-cli-config (CLI auth cache used as Windows workaround).
