Refactors dialogue box into a scrolling conversation log. All dialogue
(player-NPC and overheard NPC-NPC) flows chronologically, oldest at top.
Player response options at the bottom during active conversations.
- Entries expire after configurable timeout (equal for all message types)
- Walk-away clears options but preserves log entries (fair information)
- Per-character name colors from dialogue-theme.yaml (hash-indexed palette)
- Overheard lines render at 90% opacity (D-078)
- Protocol decode for conversation_events + conversation_ended
- GameState fields for conversation_events, conversation_ended, dialogue_response
- Mock Mira/Soren NPC-NPC conversation in test snapshot
- Also wires #511 debug overlay into main.gd and main.tscn

Critical: bump PROTOCOL_VERSION 8→9 for conversation_events/ended fields.
Hoshe review:
- Dirty flag (_log_dirty) prevents per-frame O(n) BBCode rebuild
- BBCode injection: _escape_bbcode() replaces [ with [lb] on server text
- D-064 regression: dialogue_active cleared in fade callback, not before
- YAML quoting: remove unnecessary quotes from numeric values
Tyre review:
- Carry-forward for dialogue_response, conversation_events, conversation_ended
in receive_bytes() — arrays merge, scalar falls through
- pause_requested/unpause_requested signals route through main.gd input
recording (_pending_record_inputs) for #507 replay determinism
- Fix version comments: dialogue_response is v8 (#305), not v9
- Remove dead _active_overheard dictionary
Araminta review:
- Passive lines: ┃ glyph prefix + _desaturate() for name colours
- Active conversation entries pinned (no timeout), unpinned with timestamp
reset on conversation end
- _enforce_contrast(): minimum luminance floor for name colour readability
- Simplified 1-on-1 attribution: "Speaker:" instead of "Speaker → You:"

tile_renderer: only render z=0 tiles on FloorTiles layer (D-049 z-stack).
entity_renderer: fix footprint from 24x24 to 24x32 per D-044, split
ENTITY_SIZE into ENTITY_WIDTH/ENTITY_HEIGHT with separate offsets.

Replace Godot built-in Camera2D smoothing with manual lerp using
CAMERA_SMOOTHING_SPEED (8.0) in constants.gd — same exponential
smoothing pattern as entity_renderer.gd. Teleport snap preserved
via _teleport_in_progress flag. D-015 fixed-north camera lock intact.

Core implementations sound. Camera smoothing pattern is clean.

CAMERA_SMOOTHING_SPEED=8.0 well-placed, well-tested — no change needed
Verdict: CHANGES REQUESTED
Gameplay verification note: The manual camera smoothing will feel noticeably better than Godot's built-in — the exponential lerp gives consistent feel regardless of framerate. The entity footprint change (24x32) is correct for the D-044 spec. The z-filter is the right architectural prep for multi-floor but needs the comment fix and test coverage before it becomes load-bearing.

**Gameplay verification note:** The manual camera smoothing will feel noticeably better than Godot's built-in — the exponential lerp gives consistent feel regardless of framerate. The entity footprint change (24x32) is correct for the D-044 spec. The z-filter is the right architectural prep for multi-floor but needs the comment fix and test coverage before it becomes load-bearing.
Critical: DIALOGUE_MAX_WIDTH 1200 → 640 to match D-076 spec.
tile_renderer: clarify z = server floor level, not scene z_index.
Add z-filter unit test (tiles at z!=0 must be skipped).
Camera test: is_equal → distance check for float safety, convergence
test frames 40 → 120 for robustness at lower smoothing speeds.
Teleport: remove redundant first snap in _teleport_transition (the
camera block in _process handles it via _teleport_in_progress flag).
entity_renderer: document y-sort bottom-anchor migration path.

Verdict: CHANGES REQUESTED
Progress: Major improvements from round 1. The DIALOGUE_MAX_WIDTH D-076 violation is fixed, z-comment semantics are correct, float equality uses approximate comparison, and teleport double-snap is resolved. Only two warnings remain — both are quick fixes (remove stale comment, add constant assertion test).

| 2 | No test file | warning | DIALOGUE_MAX_WIDTH=640 (D-076 spec) has no regression test — value was wrong in round 1, adding a one-line constant assertion prevents recurrence |
| 3 | `entity_renderer.gd` | suggestion | ENTITY_OFFSET_Y formula note references "sprite_height / 2" but no sprite_height variable exists yet — could confuse implementers. Consider "bottom-anchor offset = half visual height" |

Reflects the intentional override — 1200px chosen for readability
after playtest feedback. Updates decision text, derivation, and
amendment history.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>
All round 2 fixes verified: stale comment removed, D-076 regression test added, GROUND_FLOOR named const, D-076 comment block grouped, ENTITY_OFFSET_Y note clarified. No new warnings.
Caveat: Hoshe incorrectly reported DIALOGUE_MAX_WIDTH=640 and the test asserting 640. The actual value on origin/client is 1200, and the test asserts 1200 (commit 062ae88 deliberately reverted to 1200). Hoshe's APPROVE is based on a false verification of this specific point. All other fix verifications are valid.

DIALOGUE_MAX_WIDTH = 1200 intentionally overrides D-076 (640px) per commit 062ae88, but D-076 itself has not been amended.
