 ### Fixed
 - `make game` now builds client before launching — was missing `build-client` dependency, causing class_name registration failures after `make clean`
 - `build-client` uses `--import --quit` instead of just `--quit` — ensures `.godot/` cache and `global_script_class_cache.cfg` are created from scratch
