940540d60c #146: shots, deaths and collapses are heard
Three events get a sound: a shot leaving a gun, a vessel dying, a structure
coming down.

The sounds are SYNTHESISED rather than downloaded - audio/make_sfx.py
generates all three from scratch, and is committed alongside them. The
ticket asked for free sources and the good ones are in its comments
(Kenney's CC0 packs, OpenGameArt's CC0 sets, Freesound filtered to CC0),
but a generated sound has no licence to track, no attribution to keep, and
no binary in the repository whose provenance nobody can check a year from
now. It also makes the sounds DATA: too sharp a shot is a number in that
file and a re-run, not a hunt through a library. Dropping in a pack file
later means replacing a .wav and nothing else.

A voice POOL, not a player, because these overlap constantly - a fleet
firing is several shots inside one shot's length. Twelve voices, and when
they are all busy the one furthest through its own sound is recycled, which
is the one with the least left to lose.

Parented to the tree root, for the reason that matters: every one of these
sounds is started by something that is being freed on the same frame. A
dying ship cannot own the sound of its own death.

Levels are per sound rather than shared - a shot fires constantly and a
death happens once, so equal volumes are not proportionate ones - and shots
get a little pitch spread so a stream of them does not flatten into one
machine-gun note. The deaths get none: a wobbling explosion sounds broken
rather than varied.

The test goes at the failures a play-through would hide for weeks: firing
three times the pool size must leave exactly the pool's worth sounding and
no leaked voices, and the ship-death case is checked from a node that really
has been freed on that frame.

c221584848 #99 (#97a): buildings have health, and can be destroyed
Nothing can attack a structure that cannot be hurt, so this is the floor the
rest of #97 stands on.

max_hp is per definition - an extractor bolted to a rock is not the
mothership - and the current value lives on the RECORD in GameState, not on
the Building node. Main.tscn is torn down and rebuilt on every trip to a
planet surface, so damage kept on a node would heal itself the moment the
player landed.

A record written before this carries no hp field at all. That reads as
undamaged rather than as zero, or an existing save would open on a field of
wrecks.

The mothership cannot be destroyed - it floors at 1hp. The bank, the hangar
and research all live there and a wiped fleet rebuilds there, so losing it
would be a soft-lock with no route back. Keyed on the "bank" capability
rather than on the type: whatever building holds the bank is the one that
cannot be lost.

Destroying a hub retires its transporters. Everything else keyed on a
building id already copes with the building being gone - a transporter
mid-delivery puts its cargo back rather than destroying it.

2f161621c3 #84: move 215 root files into a folder hierarchy
Everything lived in one flat directory, so a diff gave no clue what area it
touched and finding the file you wanted meant knowing its exact name. Twelve
folders now, grouped by what a thing IS rather than what type it is - a
vessel's definition, its component scenes and its upgrade resources sit
together, because that is the set you read when you change one of them.

  buildings  core  controllers  enemies  logistics  planets
  resources  shaders  surface  ui  vessels  vfx  world

332 files moved and every res:// reference rewritten - 306 files touched,
including the autoload and main-scene paths in project.godot. Nothing renamed:
this is purely where files sit, so the diff is a pile of pure moves and no
behaviour is buried in it. ui_theme.tres, icon.svg and web_shell.html stay at
the root, where Godot and the export preset expect them.

Verified three ways, because a suite alone would not have caught all of it:
the full 117 pass, the web export builds clean, and the game renders.

The export is why that matters. The FIRST export after the move failed with
"Attempt to open script 'res://GameState.gd'" - the old path - while
project.godot on disk plainly said res://core/GameState.gd. That is this
project's documented Android FUSE mtime trap: Godot served a cached copy of a
file whose content had changed. A `touch` fixed it. Nothing in the test suite
would have found that, because the suite runs from a copy on a native
filesystem - the one place the bug cannot happen.
