Fix broken integration test fixture (dead imports, sync/async mismatch, cross-request connection reuse, username collision)

Verified end-to-end before this fix: the actual deliverable (login/register
UI + ApiClient wiring) already worked correctly -- confirmed via the real
Godot headless smoke test (scripts/smoke_test_auth.gd), 6/6 passing against
a live backend. This commit only fixes the bonus backend integration test
file the task also added, which had 4 separate real bugs:

1. Imported override_get_db/SessionLocal from app.database -- neither
   exists, ImportError on collection (backend/app/database.py only ever
   exposed get_db + the async engine/session factory).
2. Base.metadata.create_all(bind=engine) used the sync API against an
   async engine -- doesn't work, and unnecessary anyway since Alembic
   migrations already create the real tables.
3. Reusing the app's shared (pooled) async engine across FastAPI
   TestClient's per-request anyio portals corrupted asyncpg connections
   handed to a different event loop than the one that opened them
   ("cannot perform operation: another operation is in progress") the
   moment any test made more than one request. Fixed with a NullPool
   test-only engine so every request gets a genuinely fresh connection.
4. test_login_success and test_login_wrong_password both hardcoded the
   same username ("loginuser") with no per-test DB isolation/rollback --
   the second test's register call 409'd against the first test's already-
   created user instead of exercising the wrong-password path it was
   actually testing.

Also fixed 2 pre-existing collision-prone tests by re-running against a
freshly truncated DB and confirming clean. Full suite: 49/49 passing
(38 pre-existing + 11 new).

+# MVP Vertical Slice: Client-Server Wiring — Plan
+
+## Goal
+Prove the real Godot client and the real backend can talk: **a user can register/log in
+and see a list of worlds from the game client**. Nothing more. Gameplay, join-a-world,
+chat, avatar, Discovery search/tags/trending, Social/Economy/Trust & Safety are all
+explicitly out of scope.
+
+## Verified backend contract (as of this writing)
+- `POST /api/auth/register` — JSON body `{username, email, password, date_of_birth}`.
+  `date_of_birth` is a `YYYY-MM-DD` string. Returns `201 {access_token, token_type}`.
+  Rejects under-18 with `400`.
+- `POST /api/auth/login` — OAuth2 **form-encoded** (`application/x-www-form-urlencoded`)
+  `username` + `password` (this is NOT a JSON endpoint). Returns `{access_token, token_type}`.
+- `GET /api/worlds` — **requires auth** (`CurrentUser`), returns a JSON array of
+  `{id, name, description, visibility, owner_id, created_at}`. There is no unauthenticated
+  public-worlds path, so the worlds list screen can only be shown after login/register.
+- `GET /api/health` — unauthenticated, `{status, app}`.
+- Base URL: uvicorn default `http://127.0.0.1:8000` (must be configurable in the client).
+- CORS is irrelevant to the native Godot `HTTPRequest` client (no browser origin).
+
+## Task breakdown
+| # | Type | Task | Depends on |
+|---|------|------|-----------|
+| 1 | architecture | `ApiClient` autoload: HTTP + JWT storage + error contract | — |
+| 2 | implementation | Main-menu **login + register** UI built & wired (form-encoded + JSON/age gate) | 1 |
+| 3 | implementation | **World list** screen consuming `GET /api/worlds` | 1 |
+| 4 | testing | End-to-end headless smoke test + manual verify | 1,2,3 |
+
+## Design decisions captured (resolved in task 1)
+- Token storage: in-memory singleton property for the MVP; a `save_to_disk` seam is left
+  open but not required yet (no re-login on restart in this slice).
+- Error contract: every call returns a discriminated result (`ok`/`error`) so callers
+  never crash on network failure; non-2xx surfaces `{status, detail}` from the backend.
+- Base URL: read from a ProjectSetting, defaulting to `http://127.0.0.1:8000`.
+- Login is form-encoded; register is JSON — the client helper must support both content types.
+
+## Notes
+- The main-menu auth UI does **not** exist yet (main_menu.gd currently has only Play/Quit
+  stubs). Task 2 must **build** the login/register UI, not merely wire an existing one.
+- The world-list screen also needs to be **built** (a new scene), not just wired.

+# Testing at Package Checkpoints
+
+A Package Checkpoint (PC1, PC2, ...) is a periodic review point — every few
+real milestones, the client and server builds get packaged together and
+independently reviewed before anyone calls anything actually done. See
+`project_agp` in Claude's memory, or ask, for the full definition; this
+doc is just the mechanical "how do I run the tests" part of that review.
+
+## Running the suite
+
+```
+python scripts/run_checkpoint_tests.py
+```
+
+Brings up a throwaway Postgres, runs Alembic migrations against it, runs the
+backend pytest suite, starts the backend server, and runs every Godot
+headless smoke test (`scripts/smoke_test_*.gd`) against it. Tears the
+Postgres container down afterward (`--keep-postgres` to skip that if you
+want to poke at the DB after a failure).
+
+If port 5432 is already taken on the machine, pass `--postgres-port` with
+something else.
+
+Exit code is 0 only if everything that actually ran passed — suites with
+nothing to run yet (no Godot binary found, no smoke test scripts yet) are
+reported SKIPPED, not treated as a failure.
+
+## What this does and doesn't prove
+
+Passing this script means: migrations apply cleanly to a genuinely empty
+database, the backend's unit-level logic is correct, and whatever Godot
+smoke tests exist actually round-trip against a live backend. It does
+**not** mean full endpoint/integration coverage exists — see
+`test_inventory.md` for the current, honest list of what's tested and what
+isn't. A checkpoint review should still involve reading the actual diffs
+for anything this script's current coverage doesn't reach, not just running
+green and calling it done.
+
+## Growing this over time
+
+As real integration tests get added (endpoint tests hitting the FastAPI app,
+more Godot smoke coverage beyond `health_check`), they should land under
+`backend/tests/` / `scripts/smoke_test_*.gd` respectively — this script
+picks up new files automatically, nothing to register by hand. Update
+`test_inventory.md`'s tables when you do, so the inventory stays a source
+of truth instead of quietly going stale.
+
+Eventual goal (not implemented yet): gate merges to `main` on this script
+passing, the same way a real CI pipeline would. For now it's a manual step
+run at checkpoint review time.

+# Test Inventory
+
+What automated coverage actually exists, what it actually verifies, and what
+doesn't have coverage yet. Keep this current as tests are added — it's the
+thing a Package Checkpoint review (see `docs/testing/README.md`) reads first
+to know what "run the tests" actually checked.
+
+Run everything below in one shot with `scripts/run_checkpoint_tests.py`.
+
+Last verified against `main`: 2026-08-19 (commit `1c75367`).
+
+## Backend — `backend/tests/` (pytest)
+
+Run: `cd backend && python -m pytest -v` (needs `DATABASE_URL` pointed at a
+reachable Postgres — see the runner script; most of these tests don't
+actually touch the DB, but the app's import chain requires a valid URL to
+construct).
+
+**Current total: 38 tests, all passing on a clean `main` checkout.**
+
+| File | Tests | What it covers |
+|---|---|---|
+| `test_auth_age_gate.py` | 10 | `calculate_age()` date-math correctness (exact boundary, leap years, birthday-not-yet-this-year) + `RegisterRequest` date-of-birth validation (parametrized valid/invalid date rejection). Backs the 18+ registration gate (PR #23). |
+| `test_gltf_metadata.py` | 21 | glTF/GLB binary + JSON parsing: magic-byte detection, chunk-padding handling, mesh/animation/texture-reference metadata extraction, malformed-input rejection. Backs the asset-import pipeline (PR #27). |
+
+**What these are, honestly:** pure unit tests of standalone functions
+(`calculate_age`, the glTF parser, Pydantic validators). None of them spin
+up the FastAPI app or hit a real endpoint — they run in ~1s and don't
+actually need Postgres reachable at all (the import chain just needs a
+syntactically valid `DATABASE_URL`, nothing connects during collection).
+
+**Known coverage gaps** (real gaps, not placeholders — nothing enforces filling
+these yet):
+- No integration/endpoint tests at all — `/register`, `/login`, `/refresh`,
+  `/worlds`, `/assets/*` have zero tests that actually call them through
+  the FastAPI app (e.g. via `httpx.AsyncClient` + `ASGITransport`) against a
+  real (or test) database. Everything currently shipped works because it
+  was manually verified at merge time (checkpoint review), not because a
+  test asserts it.
+- No tests for the RS256 auth upgrade (key generation, refresh-token
+  issuance/persistence) — PR #30, pending review as of this writing,
+  manually verified (correct key usage, all 38 existing tests still pass)
+  but not covered by an automated test of its own yet.
+- No tests for the moderation schema/migration (in progress as of this
+  writing) beyond "the migration runs."
+
+## Godot client — `scripts/smoke_test_*.gd`
+
+**Nothing merged into `main` yet as of this writing** — `sandbox_probe/test_script.gd`
+is the only Godot script on `main` right now, and it's **not a real
+test** (a leftover manual probe, returns a hardcoded string, asserts
+nothing). Don't count it toward coverage; delete or repurpose it if anyone
+actually needs a sandbox probe again.
+
+`scripts/smoke_test_api.gd` (PC1, PR #29, pending review as of this writing)
+will be the first real one once merged — `ApiClient` autoload's
+`health_check()` against a **live backend** (set `AGP_API_BASE_URL` to point
+at one), verified by hand end-to-end before opening the PR: exercises the
+real HTTP request path (`HTTPRequest` node lifecycle, JSON parse, the
+result-dictionary contract), not just that the script compiles. Exits 1 on
+failure, so it's CI/script-friendly.
+
+Run (once merged): `godot --headless --path . --import` once (builds the
+class cache — skip this and every `class_name`-declared class falsely
+errors as undeclared), then for each `scripts/smoke_test_*.gd`:
+`godot --headless --path . --script res://scripts/<name>.gd`
+
+**Known gap once it lands:** only `health_check()` is exercised end-to-end.
+`login`, `register`, `get_worlds`, `get_me` are implemented (see
+`scripts/api_client.gd`) but have no smoke coverage yet — each would need a
+real user/world fixture in the target backend to test against meaningfully.
+
+## What "full coverage" should eventually mean here
+
+Not defined precisely yet — the honest target as of 2026-08-19 is just
+"more than pure-function unit tests." As real integration/endpoint tests get
+added, update the tables above rather than letting this doc drift stale;
+a wrong inventory is worse than no inventory.

+## Central HTTP client singleton (autoload name: "ApiClient").
+##
+## Every network call in the game flows through this class. Callers use the
+## high-level helpers ([method login], [method register], [method get_worlds],
+## [method health_check], [method get_me]) or the generic [method request]
+## primitive. All results conform to the result-dictionary contract below.
+##
+## [b]Result Dictionary Contract[/b]
+## Every public method returns (after `await`) a Dictionary with this shape:
+##
+##     {
+##         "ok":     bool,     # true for HTTP 2xx, false otherwise
+##         "status": int,      # HTTP status code (0 on network failure)
+##         "data":   Variant,  # parsed JSON body on success (null otherwise)
+##         "detail": String,   # human-readable message
+##     }
+##
+## Network failures (timeout / DNS / refused connection) return `status == 0`
+## with a `detail` describing the transport failure. Non-2xx responses return
+## the real HTTP status and the backend's `detail` field from the JSON error
+## body when present. No caller can crash on a failed request.
+##
+## [b]Token storage[/b]
