Clarify World metadata vs scene metadata

Worlds have their own metadata (name, description, thumbnail), separate from the metadata of each scene published to them. This distinction wasn't documented, leading to confusion when Manage-tab edits were overwritten by a publish.

Changes

  • New section World metadata vs scene metadata in the Publish Scene page, explaining:
    • Empty World: publishing fills the World's metadata from the scene's metadata.
    • Single-scene World: every publish updates the World's metadata to match the scene's.
    • Multi-scene World: World metadata is independent; publishing never changes it, and the Manage tab is the only way to edit it.
    • Warning: in single-scene Worlds, Manage-tab edits are overwritten on the next publish.
  • Cross-referenced notes in:
    • Scene Settings (Details tab)
    • Scene Metadata (title, description, and image section)
    • Publishing (new "World metadata" subsection under Publishing to Worlds)
    • Manage Scenes (Managing Worlds section)
  • New FAQ entry: "I edited my World's name, description, or thumbnail in the Manage tab, but it changed back after I published. Why?"
