New atlas_standalone scene/script: attach-or-spawn boot (one REAL
connect_to_sim attempt at SR_PORT-or-9876 — a separate throwaway TCP
probe was proven by live run to kill a pre-accept-loop server via
broken handshake pipe; never abandon a connected socket), else spawn
--port 0 via new ServerProcess.start_with_pipe + LISTENING:{port}
stdout parse, retry against the resolved port. Reader role wired end
to end: protocol.encode_startup_message optional role param (empty
omits the wire key — byte-identical for all existing callers),
sim_bridge.connection_role suppresses the post-handshake
RequestAllSettings auto-send, hud_groups skips AutoPause/AutoResume
sends for readers (all three would otherwise burn Reader violation
strikes per the T-1130 matrix — endorsed by Oscar).
Generic implant host per D-254 SS3: the shell instantiates ALL
registered implant apps; implant_app_manifest gains
available_in_companion (opt-out, default true) and
implant_registry.instantiate_all a standalone filter param (default
preserves hud.gd behavior byte-identically). Boot order is
instantiate_all THEN open_app (reverse renders a permanently black
window — app_changed fires with no listener; matches hud.gd's order).
Owned-server lifecycle: _exit_tree stops a spawned child, attached
servers survive companion close. Known engine limitation documented:
raw SIGTERM bypasses all Godot notifications and orphans a spawned
server; WM close paths verified clean.
Live-verified: spawn-mode (301 systems rendered from systems.db over
the wire), attach-mode, two simultaneous readers, clean shutdown with
zero orphan processes. 14 new gdUnit tests (port/LISTENING parsing).

Critical fixes from Hoshe review:
1. Race condition: defer TCP connect to _process() with retry logic
(MAX_CONNECT_RETRIES=20, 100ms interval) so server has time to bind.
2. Buffer corruption: disconnect on oversized message instead of
clearing valid buffered data (_corrupt flag, fail-safe).
3. Silent input drop: send_input() returns Error so callers can detect
encode/validation failures.
Warnings addressed:
- ServerProcess validates server_path exists before spawning
- SIGKILL and health check TODOs documented for future work
- Diagonal keybindings documented as intentional deferral
- send_message uses single put_data() call (no partial write risk)
- Static frame helpers documented as D-030 Layer 2 test-only
New tests (36 total, up from 33):
- Partial read scenario (chunked TCP delivery)
- Multi-message sequential decode (exercises buffer corruption fix)
- send_input error return on invalid action

LocalBridge wraps StreamPeerTCP with 4-byte big-endian length-prefix
framing matching server/src/bridge/framing.rs. ServerProcess manages
the Rust server as a subprocess via OS.create_process(). Together
they form the D-020 IPC transport layer for ticket #79.
