Ship Lab: per-vessel research, and the shield vessel
Forgejo #5. A new building gated behind a "Vessel Science" research
node. Its own screen upgrades each vessel type - weapon, movement,
shield and freight - and unlocks the shield vessel, which the ship
crafter can then build.
Vessel research is deliberately NOT more nodes in the mothership tree:
that tree gates what may be built at all and is a strategic spine, while
these are repeatable tuning on vessels already owned. Levels cost
base * (level + 1), so the third point in something is not the price of
the first. Upgrades are read live rather than baked in at build time, so
researching one improves the ships already flying.
The shield is personal, not a bubble: it absorbs a hit that would
destroy the vessel - ships have no health, contact kills - and is then
down until it cycles. Its ring is a NeonPiece child toggled with
`visible` per #10, not a redraw of the hull.
The build menu now holds six entries across three rows, which the #21
repacking already handles.
Enemies still have no weapon, so "blocks shots" has nothing to block
yet; that is filed separately rather than widened into this ticket.

Fix UI overlaps: SpeedFader vs status labels, packed ship lab layout (#67, #71)
SpeedFader was missing anchor_top/anchor_bottom = 1.0 in both Main.tscn
and PlanetSurface.tscn, so it rendered TOP-anchored at a fixed y while
its siblings (LaserStatus, GasBombStatus) are bottom-anchored - on a
720x1280 viewport both landed in the same screen region, directly on
top of each other. Properly bottom-anchored SpeedFader now, positioned
above both status labels instead.
Separately, the ship lab's 7 vessel-name labels (#57-#59 grew the
roster from 4 to 7 without widening their row) were laid out 120px wide
on only a 90px pitch - a fixed 30px overlap between adjacent labels
regardless of text length, worse for genuinely long names like
"Interceptor"/"Transporter". Narrowed each label to fit its own lane
with real gaps, dropped the font size, and enabled word-wrap; shifted
the upgrade-card rows below down to give the now-taller label row room.
