Refactors dialogue box into a scrolling conversation log. All dialogue
(player-NPC and overheard NPC-NPC) flows chronologically, oldest at top.
Player response options at the bottom during active conversations.
- Entries expire after configurable timeout (equal for all message types)
- Walk-away clears options but preserves log entries (fair information)
- Per-character name colors from dialogue-theme.yaml (hash-indexed palette)
- Overheard lines render at 90% opacity (D-078)
- Protocol decode for conversation_events + conversation_ended
- GameState fields for conversation_events, conversation_ended, dialogue_response
- Mock Mira/Soren NPC-NPC conversation in test snapshot
- Also wires #511 debug overlay into main.gd and main.tscn

Critical fixes:
- hide_dialogue() sent PAUSE instead of UNPAUSE, permanently freezing
simulation after every dialogue (both reviewers)
- Confrontation monologue hardcoded in GDScript constant, violating
D-042/D-020 — moved to ui-strings.yaml as dialogue.confrontation_beat
- Walk-away WASD didn't call set_input_as_handled(), letting movement
event propagate and potentially stepping on the same frame
- is_dialogue_active() returned _is_showing only — interaction list
could flash during 300ms fade gap. Now includes dialogue_active state
- Removed dead _last_dialogue_id / get_dialogue_id() state (never read)
Warnings addressed:
- Audio registry now scans res://audio/ recursively (subdirs registered)
- add_bus_effect guarded against duplicate calls in tests
- int64 encoder dead code tagged KNOWN-DEFECT, filed as ticket #516
- D-073 zone crossfade stub comment clarifies Sprint 9+ deferral
- listening_focus dip documents caller tick-gate responsibility (D-069/D-071)

UI microcopy strings belong in the client data directory where
the Godot client can load them directly, not in campaign content.
