Remove Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 from the collection

The game supports ultrawide natively, so there is nothing for this project to
fix. Deletes games/Expedition33 and all references (README table, THIRD_PARTY,
the never-published v1.2.0 changelog section). A one-line changelog note records
why it was dropped, and the METHOD=native tooling capability stays for any
future works-out-of-the-box title.

 # Changelog
 
+## Unreleased
+
+- **Dropped Clair Obscur: Expedition 33.** Evaluated and removed from the
+  collection: the game supports ultrawide natively (official support since patch
+  1.2.3), so there is nothing for this project to fix. The archived third-party
+  fix we briefly vendored crashed on current builds and is gone too. A
+  `METHOD=native` capability remains in the tooling for any future
+  works-out-of-the-box title.
+- **New game: ONE PIECE ODYSSEY** (UE4 + SteamStub). SUWSF loads, but the
+  GB4 patterns don't match this build (FOV pattern 0 matches; pillarbox pattern
+  false-matched). Needs runtime-derived patterns. ⚠️ in progress.
+
 Versioning applies to the collection as a whole: **adding a game is a minor bump**,
 fixes/tuning to existing entries are patch bumps.
 
-## v1.2.0 — Clair Obscur: Expedition 33
 
-- **New game: Clair Obscur: Expedition 33** (Unreal Engine 5, no DRM) — ⚠️ partial support.
+## v1.1.0 — Burglin' Gnomes *(unreleased)*
-  Adds a third install method, `external`: where a good third-party fix already
-  exists and its license allows redistribution, it is vendored **unmodified**
-  with our tuned config and full credit, rather than reimplemented.
-  The fix itself is [ClairObscurFix](https://github.com/Lyall/ClairObscurFix)
-  by **Lyall** (MIT).
-- Ships a **reduced profile** (only `Center HUD` enabled). Upstream v0.0.10 is
-  archived and predates current game builds; with full features it crashed on
-  save load. Documented with a revalidation checklist rather than marked working.
-- `publish.sh` now cuts **one release for the whole collection**, attaching every
-  game's zip, and replaces same-named assets so re-runs are idempotent.
-
-## v1.1.0 — Burglin' Gnomes *(never released; folded into v1.2.0)*
 
 - **New game: Burglin' Gnomes** (Unity 6, Mono) — ✅ confirmed working at 5120×1440.
   Adds the `bepinex` install method and a purpose-built C# plugin.

-# Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 — UltraWide
-
-⚠️ **Partial support — reduced feature profile.** ClairObscurFix v0.0.10 is archived and predates the current game build; running it with upstream defaults **crashed on save load**. This repo ships a reduced profile with only the 32:9 HUD centering enabled.
-
-- **Engine:** Unreal Engine 5 — **no DRM** (no SteamStub; `.text` entropy 6.74)
-- **Steam AppID:** 1903340
-- **Executable:** `SandFall-Win64-Shipping.exe`
-- **Method:** `external` — vendored third-party fix + our 32:9 config
-
-## We did not write this fix
-
-The ultrawide work here is **[ClairObscurFix](https://github.com/Lyall/ClairObscurFix) by [Lyall](https://github.com/Lyall)** (MIT), vendored unmodified. It is mature and already handles the hard parts; reimplementing it would be duplicated effort for no benefit. **All credit for the fix itself goes to Lyall.**
-
-What this repo adds is the **32:9 configuration** verified on a Samsung 49" G93SC, packaging, and a one-command installer consistent with the other games here.
-
-> The upstream repo is **archived**, so it will not receive further updates. Vendoring it here means the version you need stays available.
-
-## Install (Linux / Proton)
-
-```bash
-./install.sh Expedition33
-```
-
-Then **required** — Steam → Properties → Launch Options:
-
-```
-WINEDLLOVERRIDES="dsound=n,b" %command%
-```
-
-Set **5120×1440** fullscreen in-game.
-
-## Install (Windows)
-
-Extract the release zip into `…\Expedition 33\Sandfall\Binaries\Win64\`.
-
-## Our 32:9 config
-
-`ClairObscurFix.ini` ships with upstream defaults **except**:
-
-| Option | Upstream | Ours | Why |
-|---|---|---|---|
-| `[Center HUD] Enabled` | `false` | **`true`** | At 5120px wide, HUD elements anchored to screen edges end up absurdly far apart |
-
-Everything else is left at upstream defaults, which are already ultrawide-friendly:
-
-| Option | Default | Effect |
-|---|---|---|
-| `Cutscene Letterboxing` | `false` | No bars in cutscenes |
-| `Fix Movies` | `true` | Crops letterboxing from pre-rendered video |
-| `Adjust Resolution Checks` | `true` | Uses the monitor's max resolution rather than "native" |
-| `Uncap Cutscene FPS` | `true` | Removes the 30fps cutscene cap |
-
-### Tuning
-
-Edit `…/Sandfall/Binaries/Win64/ClairObscurFix.ini` (requires a restart — this fix has no live reload):
-
-- **HUD too cramped?** Raise `[Center HUD] AspectRatio` from `1.77778` (16:9) to `2.33333` (21:9) — usually the sweet spot at 32:9.
-- **Prefer the HUD spanning the full width?** Set `[Center HUD] Enabled = false`.
-- **Want cinematic bars back?** `[Cutscene Letterboxing] Enabled = true`.
-
-## Uninstall
-
-```bash
-./install.sh Expedition33 uninstall
-```
-
-## Known issue: version drift
-
-**ClairObscurFix v0.0.10 (May 2025) is archived and no longer tracks the game.**
-
-Observed on a current build (2026-07-21), with upstream defaults:
-
-```
-[error] Resolution Checks: Pattern scan failed.
-[error] Resolution Scale Bug: Pattern scan failed.
-```
-
-…followed by a **crash when loading a save**. Removing the fix entirely made the
-game load normally, isolating the fix as the cause. The crash coincides with the
-fix's `Level Load` hook, which is consistent with a hook attaching to shifted
-code in a newer binary.
-
-**Mitigation:** ship a reduced profile — everything disabled except `Center HUD`,
-the only option genuinely needed at 32:9. The failing scans are disabled outright
-since they were already inert.
-
-## Maintenance / revalidation
-
-Because upstream is archived, this entry decays as the game patches. Re-check
-after any significant game update:
-
-1. Launch and load a save. If it crashes, remove the fix (`./install.sh Expedition33 uninstall`) and retry to confirm the fix is the cause rather than the game or Proton.
-2. Read `Sandfall/Binaries/Win64/ClairObscurFix.log` — `Pattern scan failed` lines mark hooks that no longer match the binary.
-3. Disable any newly-failing feature in `ClairObscurFix.ini`; a failed scan is inert, but a *wrongly-attached* hook is what crashes.
-4. If `Center HUD` itself stops working, this entry should be marked unsupported. The game has **no DRM**, so writing a small dedicated HUD-centering patch is a viable replacement.
-
-## Still unverified at 32:9
-
-- [ ] Is `Center HUD` at 16:9 right, or is 21:9 (`2.33333`) better?
-- [ ] Camera FOV — Hor+ (see more) or Vert- (zoomed)?
-- [ ] Pillarboxing in cutscenes / pre-rendered movies (`Fix Movies` currently **off**)
