New SR_LIVE sandbox scene: CharacterVisual composited in a 3D greybox world
derived from server snapshots. Per-leg constant-velocity interpolation keyed
to the stance throttle, 'server feet / client eyes' facing (wire octant while
moving, client aim octant idle), cadence-synced gait state machine on
AnimationPlayer custom blends, D-148 orthographic follow camera (-30deg
default, T-cycle presets), sim-space grid shader, camera-side wall cutaway,
accumulating never-evict tile store with four-state visibility tint.
Additive seams only: InputMapper.facing_angle_provider (2D path unchanged),
CharacterVisual.play_animation blend_time param + get_animation_player().
Visual harness gains per-scenario scene field + SR_AUTOPILOT input scripting.
210 new gdUnit assertions across five suites; verified live (230/230 total,
clean smoke, screenshot at .cache/screenshots/locomotion_idle_live.png).

visual_capture.gd runs via `godot -s`, where the `class_name` registry isn't
populated — so the bare `Protocol.decode_snapshot()` reference failed to
compile, breaking ALL --screenshot/--movie/golden captures (not just the
replay scenarios that use it). Instantiate the script and call the static
decoder on the instance (then free), matching the file's existing -s-mode
load() workaround for VisualScenarios.

Add live server lifecycle to tests/run-visual (start/stop server per
scenario, parse LISTENING:{port}). Add MessagePack snapshot replay to
visual_capture.gd via Protocol.decode_snapshot() — exercises the full
client pipeline from wire bytes to rendered fog. Three replay scenarios
(hub_spawn, fog_theater, hub_after_movement) plus one live scenario
(fog_live_hub). Add gen_gauntlet_fixtures.rs to produce .msgpack fixtures
from the Gauntlet test world. Add max_diff_pct threshold to visual-diff.
Makefile: add fixtures-gauntlet target, fix build-client double-import,
preserve .godot cache in clean.
