v0.5.0

Initial public beta release.

Added

• Asset Scanner with Everything SDK for
  instant search across game directories.
• Material Resolver — parses .props.txt metadata, follows material
  inheritance chains, classifies textures by PBR slot (Base Color, Normal,
  ORM, Emissive, Roughness, Metallic, Mask).
• Headless Blender pipeline — imports PSK/PSKX, builds full PBR shader
  node graphs, saves .blend files. Reuses bundled io_scene_psk_psa
  extension.
• VFS Unpacker — built-in CUE4Parse CLI mounts .pak/.utoc archives
  with AES decryption and exports meshes, textures, animations, and audio.
• Batch processing queue with progress tracking, logging, and cancel.
• Per-game profiles for game folder, AES keys, UE version, and processed
  asset lists.
• Texture preset system with per-material overrides
  (data/texture_presets.json).
• WWise audio support — scans AkAudioEvent assets, exports WEM, and
  converts to WAV/OGG via vgmstream.
• Blend Combiner — merge multiple .blend files into a single grid
  scene.
• First-run setup wizard with auto-detection for Blender, Everything,
  and the .NET runtime.
• Auto-update check against the GitHub Releases API on startup
  (cached for 24 hours, fails silently when offline).
• Themeable UI — 4 built-in colour schemes (Dusk, Bloom, Slate,
  Midnight) plus a custom scheme editor.
• PyInstaller --onedir build producing a portable
  EfficientAssetRipper-win-x64.zip.
• CI/CD — GitHub Actions workflows for PR/main builds and tag-driven
  releases.
• Test suite — pytest unit / integration / Qt tiers (~8s),
  plus opt-in requires_blender / requires_everything /
  requires_dotnet_cli e2e markers.
• MIT License and legal disclaimer for asset extraction usage.
