Sprint 24 Signal — three client tickets delivering the player-facing
storyteller feedback loop:
- #588: Character archetype select screen between New Game and session
start. Two-card UI (Smuggler/Detective), keyboard+mouse, ESC cancels.
GameState.character_archetype persisted and sent in StartupMessage.
PROTOCOL_VERSION bumped to 19.
- #590: Triangle crisis event consumer. Decodes triangle_crisis_events
from snapshot, fires sfx_monologue_chime_urgent once per triangle per
session via AudioManager.CHIME_ACTIVATION.
- #592: News ticker HUD element. Scrolling marquee on UILayer, visible
only when current_ticker is present in snapshot (Last Shift zone).
Zero-arg update_from_state reads from GameState.current_snapshot.

#257: Add Load Game screen to main menu with sorted save list, loading
overlay during quickload round-trip, and pending_load_path cross-scene
flow. F5/F6 quicksave/quickload were already wired.
#561: Move debug_overlay.gd from scripts/ui/ to ui/ for consistency
with all other UI components. Update scene and test references.

Per-game save directories under user://saves/<timestamp>-<seed>/.
SessionManager autoload handles new_game(), resume_game(), quit flow.
Main menu scene with New Game / Continue / Quit buttons. Game-id
passed to server subprocess via --game-id flag.

Circular 160px diegetic insert overlay on CanvasLayer 10. Nearby
POIs as colored dots (diamond=danger, square=evidence, circle=default),
distant POIs as directional border arrows. Player centered, fixed-north.
Moved from UILayer to InsertOverlay per D-013/D-049.

Time display on InsertOverlay (CanvasLayer 10) shows station local
time (HH:MM), day phase with cycle-tinted color, and day number.
Reads SimulationTime from GameState.game_time via update_from_state().
Adds Constants.format_game_time() helper for testability.
Placeholder layout — position refines when #314 wireframe lands.

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

AudioManager: volume slider persistence (ConfigFile), settings UI with
5 teal-bordered sliders, default_bus_layout.tres for editor. Zone
crossfade: defensive zone_id read from snapshot tiles, 1.5-2s ambient
tween, auto-activates when server ships OQ-09. Dip profiles: dialogue
dip in show/hide_dialogue, ListeningFocus 30-tick gate via
stationary_ticks in game_state.gd. NPC murmur: client plumbing for
event-driven World SFX playback, no-ops until audio asset arrives.

#345: entity_renderer.gd already used entity_id; added regression tests
confirming old "id" field is rejected and "entity_id" is accepted.
#447 (OQ-29): DIALOGUE_MAX_WIDTH = 1920 added to constants.gd. Full
viewport width at target resolution (60 × TILE_SIZE), per D-061 Lead
directive "max-width". Recorded as D-076 in decisions/perception.md.
#126: SoundIndicatorRenderer — fog-edge directional arrows for medium-range
sound events (D-018). Node2D at z:951 in World scene. Color-coded per
D-018/D-069 (neutral/voice/danger). GameState.medium_sound_events
partitions Medium events from snapshot sound_events field. Tests added
to test_rendering.gd; Hoshe's test_sound_indicators.gd stubs updated.
#125: Close-range stereo audio pipeline wired. AudioManager.play_sound_event()
maps event_type to D-038 asset key (Footstep/FootstepSprint → sfx_footstep_*).
GameState.close_sound_events partitions Close events. main.gd calls
_play_close_sound_events() each snapshot tick. test_audio_bus_routing.gd
Layer 4 stubs upgraded to real tests.

GauntletHUD in UILayer shows TIMER: MM:SS (PB: MM:SS). Timer starts on
room entry, resets on room change, records personal bests to
user://gauntlet-stats.json. Session summary printed on disconnect.
Hidden in non-gauntlet mode (anti-tedium guard).
Adds room_id and gauntlet_mode fields to GameState, parsed from
ObserverSnapshot. Main.gd wires update_from_state() and finalize().

Fog entity cognitive delay rendering (D-059/D-060): sonar-style sound
pings (3 concentric rings, 1.5s fade), unrecognized grey blobs with
breathing pulse, D-033 color transition at 50% recognition progress,
±0.5 tile position drift. FogEntities node at z:950 between fog
shader and InsertOverlay.
Protocol v7 bump to match server PR #23 (pending_recognitions field).
Wires dialogue box and fog entities into game loop with mock test data.

Server-driven interaction prompt that displays "E - Talk" when near
an interactable NPC. Decodes v4 nearby_interactions from snapshot,
stores in GameState, renders via InteractionPrompt UI with fade
animation. Extensible interface (get_interaction_target/get_selected_verb)
for future radial verb menu (v0.2).
- Protocol: decode nearby_interactions array with nested VerbOption structs,
entity relationship/observation fields, tick_rate in GameTime
- GameState: store/clear nearby_interactions per snapshot
- SimBridge: test mode generates v4 format with structured verbs
- InteractionPrompt: PanelContainer with fade in/out, polls GameState
- Tests: 19 new test cases covering protocol, state, sim bridge, UI, encoding
- Fixture assertions updated for v4 protocol version

Sprint 2 rendering pipeline: tiles (#129), fog (#131), camera (#116).
- tile_renderer.gd: programmatic TileSet with floor/wall/door/object
placeholder tiles, renders from snapshot tile data
- fog_renderer.gd: TileMapLayer overlay with three visibility states
(visible/fog-edge/hidden), computed from visible_positions data
- Camera2D: smoothing enabled (speed 6.0), 2x zoom, locked to player
- game_state.gd: stores visible_tiles and visible_positions from snapshots
- sim_bridge.gd: test data with 8x8 room, corridor, and Manhattan
distance visibility for development without server
- Scene render order: Tiles -> FogOverlay -> Entities
- Background clear color set to near-black for unexplored areas

Set up the complete Godot 4.6 client foundation as a pure renderer (D-020):
- project.godot with 2D rendering, autoloads, input actions
- Main scene: Game > World (TileMapLayer, Entities, FogOverlay) + Camera2D + UILayer
- Autoloads: SimBridge (connection state machine + test mode), GameState, InputMapper
- Rendering stubs: WorldRenderer, EntityRenderer, FogRenderer
- UI stubs: HUD (health/perception/time), Minimap, MonologueDisplay
- Input mapping: WASD/arrows, E (interact), Tab (perception), Esc (menu), Space (pause)
- gdUnit4 smoke tests: scene loads, autoloads registered (2/2 passing)
