WIP checkpoint: Address review feedback: Fix: navigating Play -> Back logs the user out (should stay logged in)

The actual fix (main_menu.gd's _ready() checking ApiClient.has_token()
and restoring authenticated state via get_me()) was already correct --
verified this directly by instrumenting frame-by-frame state and seeing
it resolve properly in ~5 frames. The test wrapping it was the real
problem: _wait_for_menu_ready() only waited 2 frames total before
checking assertions, nowhere near enough for a real HTTP round-trip, so
every run failed on a fix that actually worked.

Root fix: added a real auth_state_ready signal to main_menu.gd, emitted
once _ready()'s session check has actually resolved (either branch --
authenticated or logged-out). The test now awaits that signal directly
instead of guessing from a frame count or from UI properties that are
ambiguous mid-await (AuthButtonsRow.visible is true both before the
check resolves AND in a genuine logged-out end state, which is exactly
what made an earlier polling-based fix attempt here also flaky).

Also fixed a second real bug in the test itself: unique_id used
Time.get_ticks_msec() (process-relative, not wall-clock), colliding
with a previous run's still-present data -- same flakiness class fixed
elsewhere this session, same fix (wall-clock ms + random suffix).

Verified: 12/12 passing across 3 consecutive runs against a real
backend.

-# PC2 Test Level & Player Spawn — Design Note
-
-> **Status:** Decided (PC2)
-> **Owner:** Architecture
-> **Consumers:** the two PC2 implementation tasks — (1) build the test level,
-> (2) build the player & spawn it. Both must be able to follow this note
-> without further design decisions.
-
-## 1. Decision: static scene, not chunk streaming
-
-**The PC2 playable test level is a single, hand-authored, static Godot 3D
-scene.** It is **not** built through the chunk streaming system
-(`scripts/chunk_stream_manager.gd`, `chunk_scene.gd`, `chunk.gd`,
-`chunk_data_decoder.gd`).
-
-This is a deliberate decision, not a default:
-
-- **The streaming system has never been exercised with real content.** It is a
-  faithful port of the `docs/architecture/world.md` format spec, but nothing in
-  the project produces or serves chunk payloads for it to consume. `scenes/main.tscn`
-  wires `chunk_stream_manager.gd` onto a bare `Node3D` with no `player` reference
-  and no `_server_rpc`, so at runtime it does nothing. There is no server-side
-  chunk authoring/streaming endpoint to integrate against.
-- **PC2 scope is single-player, local-only, no networking.** The value of chunk
-  streaming is server-authoritative streaming around a moving player across a
-  network boundary. None of those preconditions exist in PC2, so exercising the
-  pipeline here would mean building a chunk *authoring + serving* path first —
-  clearly out of checkpoint scope.
-- **A static scene is the lowest-risk way to get "spawn a player in a real 3D
-  level and walk around" working**, which is the actual PC2 outcome being tested.
-
-Chunk streaming is **not removed and not broken by this decision** — it stays as
-an optional, later milestone. The static level is the PC2 proof of the *player*
-and *camera/physics* half of the problem; chunk streaming remains the later proof
-of the *world data* half.
-
-## 2. Where things live
-
-| Artifact | Path | Owned by |
-|---|---|---|
-| Test level scene | `scenes/worlds/test_level.tscn` | level task |
-| Player scene | `scenes/player.tscn` | player task |
-| Player controller script | `scripts/player.gd` | player task |
-| Game composition scene | `scenes/game.tscn` | player task |
-
-- **`scenes/worlds/`** is the convention for all level scenes (it does not exist
-  yet; the level task creates it). Future levels follow `scenes/worlds/<name>.tscn`.
-- `scenes/player.tscn` is **reusable** across levels — it must not hard-code any
-  reference to `test_level`; it discovers the spawn point at runtime (see §3).
-
-## 3. Player spawn convention
-
-The level scene **must** contain a `Marker3D` named exactly **`PlayerSpawn`**.
-That node's world transform is the spawn point.
-
-- `Marker3D` is a plain `Node3D` that shows a cross gizmo in the editor and
-  carries no gameplay behavior — it is the established Godot idiom for "position
-  hint." (Confirmed present in Godot 4.6.2.)
-- The marker's **position** is authoritative; its rotation is ignored by the
-  player (spawn yaw is the player's concern, default forward is fine).
-- Coordinate system: **Y-up, units = meters, 1 unit = 1 m.** The marker must sit
-  at least **1.0 m above the ground's top surface** (recommended `y = 1.0` where
-  the ground top is `y = 0`) so the player capsule does not spawn intersecting
-  the floor and get popped out by the physics solver.
-- There is exactly **one** `PlayerSpawn` per level. (If a level ever needs
-  multiple spawns, that is a later convention — not PC2.)
-
-**Lookup rule (implemented by `player.gd`, not by the level):**
-
-```
-# in player.gd _ready()
-var spawn := get_tree().current_scene.find_child("PlayerSpawn", true, false)
-if spawn is Node3D:
-    global_position = spawn.global_position
-else:
-    push_warning("player.gd: no PlayerSpawn marker found; spawning at origin")
-    global_position = Vector3(0, 1.0, 0)   # fallback, do not crash
-```
-
-The lookup runs from the current scene root so it finds the marker whether it is
-a direct child of the level instance or nested under a `Level` wrapper. The
-fallback keeps the player runnable in a scene that forgot its marker, but a
-**missing `PlayerSpawn` is a level bug** and the level task's smoke test must fail
-on it (see §6).
-
-## 4. Composition (who puts level + player together)
-
-`scenes/game.tscn` is the PC2 playable entry point:
-
-```
-Game (Node3D)
-├── Level      (instance of res://scenes/worlds/test_level.tscn)
-└── Player     (instance of res://scenes/player.tscn)
-```
-
-- `Game` is a plain `Node3D` with **no script** — composition is done by scene
-  instantiation, not code, so there is nothing to keep in sync.
-- The **level scene is self-contained and has zero dependency on the player** —
-  it loads and is smoke-testable on its own. The level task does not instance or
-  reference `player.tscn`.
-- The **player scene is self-contained and has zero dependency on any specific
-  level** — it only requires that the *current scene* contains a `PlayerSpawn`.
-- Ownership of `game.tscn` goes to the **player task**, which depends on the
-  level task having landed `test_level.tscn` first (chain with `depends_on`).
-
-## 5. Level content requirements (level task)
-
-`scenes/worlds/test_level.tscn`, root node `TestLevel` (`Node3D`). Required
-children:
-
-| Node | Type | Notes |
-|---|---|---|
-| `Ground` | `StaticBody3D` | `BoxShape3D` (e.g. `40 × 1 × 40`) centered at `(0, -0.5, 0)` so the **top face is `y = 0`**; matching `MeshInstance3D` (`BoxMesh`) so it is visible and collidable. Use a `StaticBody3D` rather than a bare `PlaneMesh` so collision is explicit and reliable. |
-| `Props` | `Node3D` | 3–5 simple props as `StaticBody3D` + `MeshInstance3D` using built-in primitives only (`BoxMesh`, `CylinderMesh`, `SphereMesh`). `assets/` is empty and PC2 must not require imported content. Positioned on the ground surface; scale freely. |
-| `Sun` | `DirectionalLight3D` | Pitch it downward (~ -45°), enable shadows if the compatibility renderer allows; shadows are optional. |
-| `WorldEnvironment` | `WorldEnvironment` | Ambient light and/or a simple background color. Keep it plain — the project uses `gl_compatibility`. |
-| `PlayerSpawn` | `Marker3D` | Per §3. Recommended `(0, 1.0, 0)`. |
-
-Notes:
-
-- **Do not** add any `script` to the level. It is pure content. Any per-level
-  behavior belongs to the player (or a future game-mode script), not the level.
-- Keep the whole level on the XZ plane around the origin; nothing off at extreme
-  coordinates, no thin walls the capsule can tunnel through.
-
-## 6. Player contract (player task)

-`scenes/player.tscn`, root `Player` (`CharacterBody3D`) + `scripts/player.gd`.
-
-Minimum for PC2:
-
-- **Body:** `CharacterBody3D` with a `CollisionShape3D` using `CapsuleShape3D`
-  (~`radius 0.3`, ~`height 1.8`) and a matching `CapsuleMesh` for visibility.
-- **Camera:** a `Camera3D` child. First-person (camera at capsule head height) is
-  the lowest-risk choice; third-person is fine too but is more work.
-- **Spawn:** per §3 — read `PlayerSpawn` from the current scene, fall back
-  gracefully.
-- **Movement:** gravity + `move_and_slide()` so the player stands on `Ground`.
-  WASD/arrow locomotion is the hard requirement. Mouse-look is recommended but
-  may be split into its own task if the controller grows.
-- **No networking, no avatar UI, no chunk code** — PC2 is local-only. Do not add
-  `MultiplayerAPI`, `ChunkStreamManager`, or any avatar customization here.
-
-The player must work when instanced under `Game` alongside a level; it must not
-assume it is the only node in the scene.
-
-## 7. Entry point / how a human plays it
-
-- `scenes/game.tscn` is the PC2 playable scene. For playtesting, load it directly
-  (e.g. `godot --path . scenes/game.tscn`), or temporarily set
-  `application/run/main_scene` to it.
-- **Wiring "Play → Join a world" in the existing `world_list` UI is out of scope
-  for this note** and out of scope for the level/player tasks. The current menu
-  flow ends at browse-worlds (PC1). If a checkpoint wants a clickable path into
-  the test level, that navigation wiring is its own small task — do not fold it
-  into level or player.
-
-## 8. Validation (both tasks must run this before "done")
-
-```sh
-# one-time, first checkout only — builds the class/import cache
-godot --headless --path . --import
-
-# then, to catch parse/load errors:
-godot --headless --path . --quit
-```
-
-- **Level task:** additionally load `test_level.tscn` headlessly and assert it
-  (a) loads without error and (b) contains a `Marker3D` named `PlayerSpawn`
-  positioned ≥ 1.0 m above the ground top. A smoke script following the existing
-  `scripts/smoke_test_*.gd` pattern is the right vehicle.
-- **Player task:** a smoke test that instantiates `game.tscn`, waits a frame,
-  and asserts the player's global position equals the `PlayerSpawn` position
-  (within a small epsilon). This is the check that proves the spawn convention
-  actually wired through — not just "the scene loads."
-
-## 9. Explicitly out of scope for PC2
-
-- Networking / multiplayer / prediction (single-player, local-only).
-- Chunk streaming integration and server-side chunk authoring/serving.
-- Avatar customization UI and glTF avatar loading.
-- Join-a-world navigation from the world list.
-- Any content moderation / age-gating logic in the level.
-
-## 10. Summary
-
-| Concern | Decision |
-|---|---|
-| Level construction | Static hand-authored Godot 3D scene (chunk streaming deferred, not removed) |
-| Level location | `scenes/worlds/test_level.tscn` |
-| Spawn convention | `Marker3D` named `PlayerSpawn`, ≥ 1.0 m above ground, looked up by the player |
-| Player | `scenes/player.tscn` (`CharacterBody3D`) + `scripts/player.gd`, reusable across levels |
-| Composition | `scenes/game.tscn` instances `Level` + `Player`; no script |
-| Entry point | Load `scenes/game.tscn` directly; UI join-wiring deferred |

 | `smoke_test_e2e.gd` | End-to-end flow: health check → register → login → worlds list. Verifies the full request chain with a fresh user, including token storage and `get_worlds()` with auth header. |
 | `smoke_test_world_list.gd` | Registers a user, **seeds a real world via `POST /api/worlds/`** (without this, `run_checkpoint_tests.py`'s always-fresh DB means the populated-card render path never actually runs in CI, only the empty-list path would), instantiates `world_list.tscn` as a real scene, waits for `_refresh_worlds()` to complete, confirms it reached the populated (not empty) state, and asserts **each rendered card's real computed width is >= 200px**. That last check is the one that matters: 2026-08-20, a real bug shipped where every card existed in the tree with a non-zero child count and no crash, but rendered at 1.0px wide (`ScrollContainer`'s `size_flags_horizontal`/`vertical` used the raw integer `4` = `Control.SIZE_SHRINK_CENTER` instead of `3` = `SIZE_EXPAND_FILL`) — invisible on screen, and a child-count-only check would never have caught it. Confirmed by deliberately reintroducing the bug: card width check correctly fails at 25px. |
 | `smoke_test_main_menu_ui.gd` | Instantiates `main_menu.tscn`, confirms the auth panel starts hidden, and confirms a **real signal emission** on LoginButton/RegisterButton (not calling the handler method directly) actually opens it. This is the check that would have caught 2026-08-20's real bug: the auth panel and its logic were fully correct, but nothing in the scene was ever wired to open it, so Login/Register were completely unreachable from the UI. |
 | `smoke_test_main_menu_full_flow.gd` | Full click-through: open the register form, fill it exactly as a user would, submit, confirm Play actually becomes enabled, the welcome message shows, and the auth buttons hide themselves. Calls the submit handler directly (awaited) rather than via `auth_button.pressed.emit()` — see the note at the top of the file: a synthetic `.emit()` on an `await`-using handler doesn't get driven forward reliably in `--script`/SceneTree headless mode the way real GUI input event dispatch does, confirmed by comparing direct-call vs `.emit()` behavior. Not a bug in the actual click-driven flow, just a headless-test-harness quirk to route around when writing tests. |
-| `smoke_test_main_menu_back.gd` | Regression test for Play → Back logging the user out even with a valid token still held. Registers a user, loads `main_menu.tscn` (asserts it restores the authenticated state via a real `auth_state_ready` signal wait, not a frame-count guess), clicks Play → `world_list.tscn`, clicks Back → `main_menu.tscn`, and asserts the menu is still authenticated. Checks `WelcomeLabel.is_visible_in_tree()`, not just `.visible` — the label lives inside AuthPanel, so `.visible` alone is a false positive if the panel itself is hidden (a real bug briefly present: `_show_authenticated()` hid AuthPanel while claiming the welcome label was visible, which rendered nothing). |
