Reported directly by the user playtesting the exported exe: Play was
permanently disabled and there was no way to log in or register. Root
cause: main_menu.tscn wired Play and Quit, but nothing was ever
connected to _on_login_button_pressed()/_on_register_button_pressed() --
the AuthPanel, its form, and all its backend-calling logic were fully
correct, just completely unreachable. The script's own top comment even
said "(the existing Play/Quit buttons)" as if Play/Quit somehow doubled
as login triggers, which they never did -- a sign nobody ever actually
clicked through the running scene, only checked things at the API level.
Fix: added a real AuthButtonsRow (LoginButton, RegisterButton) wired to
the existing handlers, which now hide themselves once auth succeeds.
Also fixed grab_focus() targeting the AuthPanel (which can't accept
focus, just a background warning) to focus the username field instead.
Verified via two new smoke tests (smoke_test_main_menu_ui.gd,
smoke_test_main_menu_full_flow.gd) using a *real signal emission* on
the buttons, not a direct method call -- that distinction is exactly
what would have caught the original bug. Full click-through confirmed
against a real backend: open register form, fill it, submit, Play
actually becomes enabled, welcome message shows, auth buttons hide.
Also documents a real headless-testing gotcha found while verifying
this: a synthetic Button.pressed.emit() on an await-using handler
doesn't reliably get driven forward in --script/SceneTree mode the way
real GUI input dispatch does -- confirmed by comparing direct-call vs
emit() behavior side by side. Not a bug in the actual click-driven flow,
a test-harness quirk to route around (call the handler directly,
awaited, instead of emitting the signal).
Full checkpoint suite re-verified clean on this branch: migrations,
68/68 pytest, all 6 Godot smoke tests (including the 2 new ones, picked
up automatically by run_checkpoint_tests.py's glob).

This branch never actually had the Godot scaffold — a workspace-reuse bug
(see agp source repo) let leftover backend/**/__pycache__/*.pyc files from
an unrelated task get swept into this branch's only prior commit, which
was checkpointed under this task's title despite containing zero Godot
files. Removing that garbage and bringing over the real project from
agent/997c429bc6b4 (the original PR's branch) with the review feedback
addressed:
- Play button no longer references the nonexistent scenes/game.tscn.
- Wired PlayButton/QuitButton [connection] entries in main_menu.tscn.
- Removed the invalid uid="uid://main_menu".
- Added .gitignore for .godot/.
- Removed the non-standard [export]/[export_options] sections from
project.godot (Godot 4 uses export_presets.cfg, not this).
