Module player 

Resolving, caching, and downloading pite-player binaries for export.

When exporting a project, the engine looks for a player binary matching the target platform next to the engine binary. If one is not present (for example, when running from a bare cargo install or when cross-exporting without having pre-downloaded other platform bundles), the fallback downloads the platform’s player release archive from GitHub releases and unpacks it into the toolchain cache (~/.cache/pite/toolchains/players/ or PITE_PLAYER_DIR).
