Two real bugs from the last change, both only visible in a real run:
1. Controls reversed: the third-person SpringArm3D had a 180° Y rotation
that put the camera IN FRONT of the player looking back -- a mirror, so
W read as backward and mouse pitch as inverted. SpringArm3D extends its
child along +Z, not -Z; with no rotation the camera sits behind the
player (+Z world) and looks -Z straight at them. Verified the vectors
headless: camera behind, W decreases Z, mouse-up looks up.
2. Bare capsule instead of an avatar in the .exe: avatar_catalog.gd reads
assets/avatars/catalog.json with FileAccess.open(), but the export used
`all_resources` + empty include_filter, which does NOT pack plain .json
files. ensure_catalog() failed -> no loadout -> build_current_avatar()
returned null -> capsule stayed visible. From source it worked because
res:// is the real filesystem. Fixed: include_filter="*.json" in both
export presets (verified catalog.json + the .glb pack are now in the
exported .pck).
- scripts/verify_export_contents.gd + a checkpoint-runner step: export a
pack and assert the non-resource runtime files are inside it. This is
the guard for the "works from source, broken in the .exe" class.
Client-side -- rebuild the exe.
