Extracted shaders were cached on disk by shader name only, the cache was
consulted before the owning mod was known and a cached file was never
rewritten: an updated zip mod kept its old shader across launches, a removed
mod's copy beat the mod serving the name now, and another mod's same-named
shader could overwrite it. The cache is now per mod, files are rewritten
when their bytes change and the resolver picks the owning mod first.

A patch key spelled in another case than the entity property wrote both keys
and the entity's own value, written last, won: the patch was lost. Property
names now match case-insensitively, as entity JSON is read. Scenario winners
were picked in scene-key order, so a replacement moved into a scene seen
earlier lost to the original; definitions are now collected flat in load
order and grouped after (ScenarioResolver.GroupReplacing). Patch docs said
wildcard values were a fallback; code and tests overwrite, docs now agree.
