New EnemySpawnerComponent.gd (capability_id "spawner"): continuously
instantiates another enemy type beside its host at a fixed interval,
capped at max_alive concurrently, refilling as spawns die. Spawned
enemies are parented under the SPAWNER'S OWN PARENT rather than the
spawner itself, so they are siblings, not descendants - killing the
spawner can't free them, and a surface-hosted spawner (under
PlanetSetupHost) keeps its spawns under the same host instead of
leaking them to a hardcoded path, the same hazard #44 already closed
for pursuit/standoff/ranged-weapon components.
TurretSpawnerEnemyDefinition.tres: stationary (speed 0, no pursuit or
standoff component), max_hp 20 (~7x a chaser), a bulky octagon hull,
and its own acid-green glow distinct from chaser/sniper/artillery.
Registered in EnemyDefinitions.ORDER/DEFINITIONS - the map editor
palette (#48) picks it up with no editor code change.
Tests: new tests/test_turret_spawner_enemy.gd covers registration and
real definition defaults, no spawns without a fleet, spawning capped
at max_alive, a dead spawn's slot refilling, never moving, surviving
19 damage and dying on the 20th, and its spawns surviving its death
with their pursuit component intact. Screenshot beside a chaser
confirms the two read as visually distinct enemies. Full suite: 79/79.
Repo notes for the next agent, confirmed empirically this session:
- A node's set_process(false) call made before it has fully finished
entering the tree doesn't reliably stick (already documented in
tests/test_planet_atmosphere_transition.gd, and it bit this test
too): BuildController._check_fleet_wipe() kept rebuilding a ship
during an intended "empty fleet" test window even after disabling it
in _initialize(). Do it in _process()'s first real tick instead,
once _ready() cascades are confirmed complete.
- Overriding an @export interval (like spawn_interval) on an
already-running component does NOT reset its own in-progress
countdown timer - only changes what it resets TO on its next expiry.
If the countdown already started at the OLD value before your
override lands, reset the timer variable itself too, or the first
real interval after the override silently uses the stale value.
- A capped spawner's freed-slot refill can land within a couple of
frames once its interval is short - don't assert on an intermediate
"just dropped by one" count that a fast interval can blow straight
through before your next check runs. Assert the net effect instead
(the specific killed instance is gone AND a replacement filled the
slot) rather than an exact mid-transition snapshot.
