Summary

Create a dedicated Material Browser panel for named PBR materials, scene-local materials, and project-wide material assets.

Why

The current asset browser has material support, but production authoring needs a focused material catalog and editing workflow.

Implementation notes

Add a Material Browser panel with project and scene-local material sections.
Reuse MaterialAsset and shader-schema-aware MaterialDesc editing.
Add material thumbnails, search/filter, and drag/drop sources.
Keep shared material edits distinct from actor material overrides.

Acceptance criteria

User can browse project-wide and scene-local materials.
Material thumbnails render reliably.
Shared material edits are explicit and undoable where scene state changes.
Dragging a material from the browser exposes valid drop targets.

Tests/docs

Material catalog tests and thumbnail cache smoke coverage. Update README and docs/editor asset/material sections.
