Add DA_RenderPipelineProfile and Platform Render Profiles documentation

- Introduced DA_RenderPipelineProfile data asset to define rendering pipeline configurations for various platforms and quality tiers.
- Documented enums, structs, variables, and default preset tables for render settings.
- Created a comprehensive developer guide for setting up platform-specific render profiles, including file structure, profile creation, and integration with upscalers.
- Included validation rules, console variable references, and testing matrices for ensuring compliance with platform requirements.

 **104 BPC_AccessibilitySettings:** Manages accessibility features: subtitle toggle/size, colorblind mode selection (protanopia/deuteranopia/tritanopia), controller remapping, difficulty presets, hold-to-confirm toggle, camera shake reduction. Settings persisted via `SS_SettingsSystem`.

 **148 BPC_HapticsController:** ActorComponent attached to the Player Controller. Central abstraction for all controller vibration and force feedback. Systems trigger haptics by GameplayTag (e.g., `Haptic.Damage.Heavy`) — never calling raw UE5 `Play Force Feedback` nodes. Handles platform detection (Xbox rumble, PS5 DualSense adaptive triggers, PC generic gamepad), respects accessibility toggle, manages effect priority/conflict resolution, and drives the continuous heartbeat pulse from `BPC_StateManager.GetCurrentHeartRate()`. Uses `DA_HapticProfile` Data Assets for all effect definitions.
 
+**149 BPC_RenderPipelineManager:** ActorComponent attached to the Player Controller. Central authority for UE5 render pipeline configuration. Reads `DA_RenderPipelineProfile` Data Assets to determine the appropriate rendering method (Lumen vs Baked Lightmass), shadow system (VSM vs CSM), upscaler (DLSS/FSR/TSR/PSSR), and mesh strategy (Nanite vs LOD) for the current platform and quality preset. Applies settings via UE5 console variables, coordinates with `BPC_PerformanceScaler` for runtime quality tier adjustments, and broadcasts pipeline changes so the Planar Capture system can adjust its quality budget. Handles reload-required detection for destructive pipeline changes (GI method, shadow method, Nanite toggle).
