Seagull Digestion

Seagulls that steal your food now actually eat it. After a random delay the stolen item turns into a poop: randomised sell price, and a bad idea to eat.

• Host-authoritative, matching how the game already simulates birds.
• The timer cancels if you shoot the bird or grab the fish back.
• Seagulls ignore poop, and rest for a while after a meal.
• Procedurally generated poop mesh, no asset bundle.
• Poop syncs to every client and survives save/reload.

Eating it

The hunger cost is paid out of your stomach first. Whatever your stomach cannot cover is dealt as direct damage, so eating poop on an empty stomach takes the full hit to your health. Poison lands either way, exactly like raw pufferfish.

With HungerCost = 25:

Fullness before	Fullness after	Damage
100	75	0
25	0	0
10	0	15
0	0	25

Food-effect mods are blocked from rewarding you for it. With Fish Effects installed, poop grants no timed effect, no Drip luck, and no effect line on the inspection card. Those are ordinary Harmony patches applied from this mod; no other mod's files are touched, and they are skipped when the mod is absent.

Multiplayer

The host needs the mod. Clients without it lose the money either way, but will still see the original fish model.
