Removes the version-mismatch guard from Protocol.decode_snapshot() and the
PROTOCOL_VERSION constant from the client (server side done in #874).
Core changes:
- protocol.gd: remove const PROTOCOL_VERSION, remove version mismatch guard,
remove "version" from return dict, add gauntlet_mode/room_id decode
- sim_bridge.gd: remove handshake version check; relax handshake guard to
require only a valid Dictionary (server no longer sends protocol_version);
emit handshake_complete(0) for API compat
- loading_screen.gd: drop "· protocol N" suffix from version label
- test_harness.gd: replace Protocol.PROTOCOL_VERSION with literal 23
Test updates (21 files): replace "version": Protocol.PROTOCOL_VERSION with
"version": 23 in all snapshot bytes dicts; remove snapshot.version == N
assertions; remove version-rejection tests (test_rejects_version_6,
test_decode_snapshot_rejects_missing_version, test_decode_snapshot_rejects_old_version,
test_protocol_rejects_version_mismatch, test_sim_bridge_test_snapshot_uses_current_protocol_version).
Also includes: #872 bookmark_catalog carry-forward regression test, and
#873 merge-path flow tests (test_merge_path_flows_sprint37.gd).

- loading_screen: opaque BG (was 0.75 alpha) + mouse_filter STOP so the
loading state genuinely occludes the underlying screen
- main_menu: poll SimBridge.poll_snapshot in _process while waiting for
the bookmark catalog so the new-game flow doesn't stall on the
catalog round-trip introduced in Workstream 3 (#680)
main_menu now connects SimBridge before character_creation opens, gating
the transition on first ObserverSnapshot carrying a bookmark_catalog.
Loading screen is shown during the connect; on cancel the SimBridge
subprocess is torn down and the player returns to main_menu. Catalog is
read straight from GameState.bookmark_catalog in W6.
Flow (Option A):
1. New Game → SessionManager.new_game() creates save dir
2. main_menu pushes loading_screen via MetaStack with "Connecting to
simulation..." message
3. SimBridge.connect_to_sim() spawned; main_menu listens on
connection_state_changed, then on snapshot_received for the catalog
4. On catalog arrival: loading_screen closed, scene-transition to
character_creation
5. character_creation Cancel → SimBridge.disconnect_from_sim() + scene
transition back to main_menu (Tyre's recommendation: clean state per
session over warm-start savings)
6. character_creation Start → ConfirmBookmark sent (stubbed for W4 with
first catalog entry; real bookmark + location from W6's UI)
ESC priority chain in main.gd OPEN_MENU handler:
- MetaStack.handle_escape() first — closes the topmost meta overlay
- HudGroups.is_implant_active() / close_app() — closes active implant
- Fallback: toggle settings_dialog (existing W2 behavior)
Files:
- sim_bridge.gd: send_named_action(action_name, action_data) helper.
Bridges named tag-enum PlayerActions (RequestBookmarkCatalog,
ConfirmBookmark) into the existing outbound buffer, parallel to
send_input's InputMapper.Action handling.
- loading_screen.gd: set_message(text) for the connecting/loading label.
- main_menu.gd: full Option A flow rewrite. Tracks _waiting_for_catalog
so re-clicking New Game during connect is a no-op.
- character_creation.gd: _on_back disconnect path + _on_start
ConfirmBookmark stub. MAIN_MENU_SCENE / GAME_SCENE constants.
- main.gd: connect_to_sim guard (don't reconnect when Option A leaves
it CONNECTED). ESC chain wiring.
Verification:
- gdlint clean
- godot --headless --path client --quit — no SCRIPT ERROR
- test_protocol 62/62, test_implant_nav_stack 52/52, test_client_p3
24/24, test_ui_framework_sprint15 54/54
Pre-existing failing suites unchanged: test_sprint2_proof,
test_dialogue_sprint18, test_client_p2 (camera-smoothing assertions
that pre-date W4 — main.gd has disabled position_smoothing_enabled
since #117 / #501 / #117 manual-lerp; tests were stale).
Workstream 5 (3-tab restructure of character_creation: Bookmark /
Appearance with sub-nav / Skills / Debug) lands next.

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.
