Relocates main_menu, character_creation, settings_dialog, debug_console,
bug_report_dialog, loading_screen from flat client/ui/ into structured
client/ui/meta/screens/<name>/. All six now extend MetaScreen instead
of Control; the base handles open/close lifecycle, visibility,
captures_input, and — for overlays — the sim-pause contract.
Screen policies set per Tyre's proposal:
- settings_dialog: pauses_sim=false, PUSHES onto MetaStack
- debug_console: pauses_sim=true, PUSHES (D-088 routing via base)
- bug_report_dialog: pauses_sim=true, PUSHES
- loading_screen: closable_by_escape=false, PUSHES
- main_menu, character_creation: scene-roots, extend MetaScreen for
the lifecycle contract only, do NOT push onto the stack
character_creation stays at its current surface (tabs, descriptor,
creation_confirmed signal unchanged). Tab consolidation and
CharacterProfile migration happen in Workstreams 5 and 6.
Knock-on changes:
- main.tscn ModalLayer CanvasLayer renamed to MetaLayer; main.gd
@onready refs updated; constants.gd comment updated; test_client_p3
and test_ui_framework_sprint15 assertions updated; test_monologue_display
and .tscn header comments updated.
- OPEN_MENU handler now pushes settings_dialog onto MetaStack before
calling open(). Full ESC priority chain lands in Workstream 4.
- atlas_app.gd: _unhandled_key_input signature widened from
InputEventKey to InputEvent with an is-check, per Godot 4 API. Pre-
existing narrowing was silently tolerated until main.tscn started
fully instantiating under the new pattern.
- test_client_p3: entity_renderer type annotations corrected from
ColorRect to Sprite2D (stale since a prior refactor); facing
indicator rotation assertion switched to angle_difference() for
modular-safe comparison.
Verification:
- gdlint client/scripts/ client/ui/ — zero problems
- godot --headless --path client --quit — no SCRIPT ERROR
- test_client_p3: 24/24 pass
- test_ui_framework_sprint15: 54/54 pass
- test_implant_nav_stack: 52/52 pass
- test_implant_registry: 42/42 pass
- test_implant_app_lifecycle: 36/36 pass
Workstream 1 foundation (84105916) remains unchanged. Workstreams 3-8
follow: protocol layer, Option A sequencing, 3-tab restructure,
Bookmark tab, location picker, Skills stub.

TabContainer and its VBoxContainer parent vanish during scene
instantiation when loaded as a child of MainMenu in Godot 4.6.
Moving the entire tab panel construction to _ready() resolves
the issue — the .tscn now only defines the preview side and footer.

Godot 4.6 TabContainer silently destroys children defined in .tscn
during scene instantiation ("Parent path has vanished"). Moving tab
shell creation to _ready() fixes the right-side settings panel.
