(Smuggler/Detective archetypes removed per v0.2 pivot)
- New Game goes straight to character creation
- Rename Randomise→Randomize throughout (US English convention)
- Add *.import and *.uid to client gitignore (import artifacts)

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.

- Defer LOAD_GAME dispatch until SimBridge reaches CONNECTED (critical)
- Guard _build_saves_list() against queue_free() race on rapid reopen
- Disable save entries with empty newest_save, guard in _on_save_selected
- Send before show_loading on F6 quickload, skip overlay on send failure
- Clear pending_load_path in _on_new_game()/_on_continue() (stale path)
- Add hide_loading(success: bool) API for future failure-state UI
- Add test_save_load_flow_sprint21.gd covering LoadingScreen + GameState

#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.

SessionManager.new_game() now returns "" on dir creation failure
instead of proceeding with a broken game-id. Main menu guards
against empty return. Test suite tracks and cleans up created
save directories in after_test().

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.
