Running ClairObscurFix v0.0.10 with upstream defaults crashed on save load.
Removing it entirely let the game load normally, isolating the fix as the cause
rather than Proton or the year-old save. The fix is archived and predates the
current build; two pattern scans already failed outright, and the crash
coincides with its Level Load hook.
Ship a reduced profile with only Center HUD enabled - the one option actually
needed at 32:9 - and mark the game PARTIAL rather than implying full support.
Adds a revalidation checklist since vendored archived fixes decay as the game
patches, plus a note that the game has no DRM, so a dedicated HUD-centering
patch is a viable replacement if Center HUD eventually breaks too.

Expedition 33 is UE5 with no DRM, but a mature MIT-licensed fix already exists:
ClairObscurFix by Lyall. Rather than reimplement it, install.sh gains a third
method that vendors a third-party fix unmodified and layers our own tuned
config on top, with the upstream license shipped in the release zip as MIT
requires. Upstream is archived, so vendoring also keeps it available.
Our only change vs upstream defaults is [Center HUD] Enabled = true, since at
5120px wide the edge-anchored HUD elements end up absurdly far apart.
Install/uninstall round-trip verified against a scratch game dir, including
that our tuned ini overrides the vendored default.
Credit to Lyall is recorded in THIRD_PARTY.md, the game README, and the repo
README's method table.
