test_character_visual_sprint28: after_test() was freeing every node
returned by get_children(), including GdUnit4's own internal infrastructure
attached to the suite. That destroyed the runner mid-suite, hanging
make test-client indefinitely on the second compositor test. Now tracks
the nodes _make_compositor() spawned and frees only those. Suite goes
from "hangs forever" to 52/52 pass in 39s.
test_protocol_bridge, test_signal_sprint24: delete the
test_protocol_version_is_NN assertions. They asserted a constant equals
its own literal, failed mechanically on every protocol bump, and never
caught a real bug. Field-presence and roundtrip behavior is covered by
the surrounding tests; the runtime mismatch guard is exercised by
test_rejects_version_6. Surfaced D-192 (drop the version handshake
entirely) — see ticket #868.
Add CharacterVisualDescriptor (11-variant BodyType enum, wire format
encode/decode, body_type_key mapping) and CharacterVisual compositor
(runtime 3D character assembler with slot architecture, BoneAttachment3D,
clothing coverage, recolor mask loading, skin tone tinting, bone
validation). Includes 64 unit tests and Blender utility scripts.
