- SpringArm3D was colliding with the player's own capsule (same layer) ->
camera yanked up against the head. add_excluded_object(self) in _ready +
gentler default pitch, shorter arm, lower pivot.
- AvatarSystem.build_current_avatar() is now self-sufficient: loads the
catalog itself and falls back to a bare default loadout if login didn't
prime one. So the in-world player always shows an avatar, never the
capsule, as long as the assets are packed (they are now).
- New AvatarSystem.assemble_avatar(): builds a standalone avatar with a
throwaway loader, touching no shared state -- so it's safe to call once
for the local player AND once per remote peer. (load_avatar()'s shared
loader reset()s and freed the previous avatar on every call.)
- game.gd: remote players render as the assembled avatar too (shared default
look, tinted per-peer, name tag) instead of a plain capsule.
Client-side -- rebuild the exe.

- Session autoload: carries {world_id, host, port} from the world browser
to the game scene.
- world_list.gd "Enter World": POST /api/worlds/{id}/join -> Session.begin
-> load game.tscn. On 503 (backend has no orchestration) falls back to
local single-player; other errors surface on the card.
- api_client.gd: join_world().
- game.gd (new, on game.tscn root): local single-player by default; when
Session.active, connects a NetworkClient to the world's dedicated server
and runs networked -- forwards the local Player's input each physics
frame, snaps to the server position past a generous drift threshold
(the Player keeps predicting locally with real collision), renders other
players from snapshots (labelled capsules, lerped -- avatar appearance
sync is a follow-up, the server doesn't replicate loadouts yet), and
returns to the world list on disconnect.
- player.gd: exposes net_input (the input frame it applied) and
apply_server_correction().
- network_client.gd: send_input() + get_own_server_state() for callers that
do their own collision-aware prediction.
- scripts/mp_game_flow_client.gd + run_game_multiplayer_test.sh: two real
clients each register -> join via the API -> game.tscn -> networked;
A sees B and moves. PASS.
Verified end to end against an orchestration-enabled backend. Non-networked
smokes green (enter_world 9/9, world_list 5/5, player 15/15,
avatar_in_world 10/10, main_menu_full_flow 12/12).
