Item 1: while zero tiles have arrived, the viewer draws a centered
screen-space 'DERIVING TERRAIN…' label (text_dim role, no new hue),
dropping the instant the first tile lands — a cold wait now reads as
loading, not broken. New has_any_tile_arrived() predicate (distinct
from has_pending_tiles(): both true mid-arrival, tested exactly there).
Item 2: legend re-fit root-caused empirically, two plausible fixes
disproven by trace before the real one: a manually-positioned Control's
size NEVER tracks a shrinking minimum in this parenting shape, and
RichTextLabel.fit_content reports degenerate minimums until laid out at
real width once — so reset must be DEFERRED and run after refill, not
inside clear(). ImplantPanel.reset_to_content_size() (call_deferred),
wired into both legend refresh()es. The load-bearing test compares
size.y to get_minimum_size().y — a size-to-size comparison passed
trivially with both numbers equally stuck (caught on first draft).
Item 3: make atlas now builds the RELEASE server and passes
SR_SERVER_BIN (a cold DEBUG server delivers zero tiles for >10s on a
new body — live-measured — vs 210ms warm; release serves cold in well
under a second). atlas_standalone._server_binary_path() honors the env
override per the SR_PORT two-tier precedent, debug path unchanged
when unset.
All fixes revert-verified; nine suites green collateral-checked;
gdlint clean.
