WIP checkpoint: Address review feedback: Implement Godot dedicated server scene + player spawning

Two genuine bugs, found by reproducing rather than trusting the branch's
own state:

1. scenes/player.tscn collided with PC2's client-side player scene at the
   exact same path (server-authoritative PlayerNode vs. the local
   single-player character) -- whichever merged last would silently
   overwrite the other. The branch's own last commit had literally
   committed unresolved <<<<<<< conflict markers into the file instead of
   resolving them. Renamed the server's version to
   scenes/server_player.tscn, restored scenes/player.tscn to match main's
   real client scene exactly, repointed scripts/server.gd's preload.

2. scenes/server.tscn's root Node had no script attached at all -- it only
   ever worked before because project.godot had `Server` registered as a
   project-wide autoload (the exact wholesale-overwrite this task was
   already asked to fix). Once that autoload was correctly removed,
   nothing attached server.gd to the scene tree anymore and the dedicated
   server silently did nothing. Attached scripts/server.gd directly to
   scenes/server.tscn's root node instead.

Verified: godot --headless --import/--quit both clean, full 10-suite
client smoke test all passing, and the dedicated server actually listens
on UDP port 7777 when launched explicitly (`godot --path . scenes/server.tscn`)
-- confirmed with `ss -ulnp`, not just trusting the startup print (first
checked with `ss -tlnp`, which only shows TCP and falsely suggested it
wasn't listening at all; ENet is UDP).

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). |
+| `smoke_test_test_level.gd` | Loads `scenes/worlds/test_level.tscn` directly (the level is player-agnostic and self-contained per `docs/architecture/pc2_test_level.md` §4) and confirms it has real content: 5 props, a `DirectionalLight3D` ("Sun"), and a `WorldEnvironment` — not an empty void. |
+| `smoke_test_player.gd` | Loads `scenes/game.tscn` and confirms the player exists as a real `CharacterBody3D` with a `CollisionShape3D`+shape, a `CapsuleMesh`, and spawns at the level's `PlayerSpawn` marker position. Also asserts `JUMP_VELOCITY` is positive and a `Camera3D` exists and is `current` — both were real bugs found 2026-08-20/21 (jump velocity was negative, pushing the player down instead of up; no camera existed at all, so the game was unplayable even though the character could technically move). Structural checks only — real movement/jump *direction* correctness was verified separately via a throwaway headless physics simulation during development, not by an automated test that's part of this suite. |
+| `smoke_test_enter_world.gd` | The full PC2 path end to end: register → seed a real world → load `world_list.tscn` → click the real "Enter World" button on a real card (found by walking the card's children, not by index, so it doesn't silently pass if the card layout changes) → confirms `scenes/game.tscn` actually becomes `current_scene` with the player spawned at the level's `PlayerSpawn` marker → sends a real `KEY_ESCAPE` input event (not a direct method call) and confirms it returns to `world_list.tscn`. This is the test that proves "browse → enter → walk around → leave" actually works as one continuous flow, not just that each piece works in isolation. |
