You couldn't see your own character because the camera was first-person
(inside the avatar's head), and the customize screen's 3D preview rendered
nothing.
- player.tscn: camera now hangs off a SpringArm3D on a CameraPivot, 4 m
behind + above the player, pulled in on collision. player.gd: yaw still
turns the body, pitch orbits the arm (starts tilted down to frame the
avatar).
- avatar_customization_ui.gd: the preview SubViewport had own_world_3d=false,
so it shared the Control-only main world -- no scenario, nothing rendered.
Set own_world_3d=true, add a WorldEnvironment with ambient fill + a
key/fill light pair, make the camera current, tweak framing.
- smoke_test_player: assert the third-person SpringArm rig (18/18).
- smoke_test_enter_world: wait longer for the scene change -- a real
POST /join spawns a dedicated server, which is slow (9/9).
Client-side change -- rebuild the exe to get it.
