Merges the pre-existing avatar system implementation (catalog, slot
registry, loadout, glTF-based loader, customization UI, visualizer --
~2300 lines across scripts/avatar/) onto current main, which had
diverged significantly since this branch was last touched (PC1 UI
fixes, PC2's playable level/player/multiplayer work).
Fixes found while integrating:
- project.godot had wholesale-replaced the [autoload] section again
(same recurring pattern as the multiplayer server/client branches),
dropping the ApiClient autoload entirely. Restored it additively
alongside AvatarSystem.
- All other real conflicts (main_menu.tscn/.gd, main.tscn, .godot
cache) were pure "this branch re-created a stale duplicate of
something main already has" -- resolved by taking main's version,
confirmed via `git diff` that this task's own changes never touched
those files' actual logic.
New: scripts/smoke_test_avatar_system.gd -- confirms AvatarSystem is a
real autoload, the committed catalog.json parses, loadout equip/
validate/JSON-round-trip works against real catalog entries, and --
since assets/avatars/*.glb model files don't exist yet -- that
AvatarLoader.load_base_body() fails gracefully (null + load_error
signal) rather than crashing when given a real catalog entry with no
backing file. 10/10 passing.
Verified no regressions: all 10 pre-existing Godot smoke suites still
pass against a live backend, and all 61 backend pytest tests pass.
