jpmschweitzerandClaude Opus 4.6 2edc7c3098 feat(ui): unified dialogue log with overheard NPC conversations (#535)
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
