A factory whose cranes swing over an empty cradle reads as working on
nothing, and a lab sweeping instruments over a vessel it is not studying
reads the same way.
The CLOCK stops rather than the drawing. Every moving element is a NeonPiece
whose position is pushed from that clock, so a frozen clock leaves the
building standing with its cranes parked; stopping apply_animation() instead
would leave them wherever the last frame happened to put them, which is not
the same thing as idle.
The state is read by tree lookup rather than through the bare `GameState`
identifier. These visual scripts are reached through a BuildingDefinition's
visual_scene, which is preloaded while the definition catalog is still
loading - early enough that the autoload is not in the global class table
yet, and a bare reference fails to COMPILE the whole file. That failure also
hung test_building_redraw_cost, because a visual that never built its pieces
left a null crane being dereferenced every frame.
Both animation tests now say what they mean: the redraw-cost test queues an
order first, because its point is that animating is cheap rather than that
it happens unprompted, and the crafter test additionally pins that an idle
crafter really is still.

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.

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.

Gameplay and UI
- Research tree at the mothership gates which structures can be built and
grants permanent fleet-capacity upgrades (GameState.SKILL_TREE,
SkillTreeView). Node depth is derived from prerequisites, so the layout
cannot drift out of step with the dependencies.
- Building info popup before committing to a build, with per-building cost
and description.
- Ship crafter redrawn as a space factory with an assembly animation;
mothership redrawn as a radial flagship; command centre as a plotting hub.
- Keyboard and mouse support (WASD, Q/E pivot, wheel zoom) for the web build.
- UI and font scaled up for phone use, via a custom Theme resource -
gui/theme/default_font_size does not reach the default theme.
- Asteroids no longer spawn on top of the fleet's start position.
- Fleet formation origin derived from the layout's own offsets rather than
the centroid, fixing the lurch when a lopsided formation started moving.
- Fleet.stop() brakes from the ship's TRUE motion (velocity +
fleet_velocity). Ship zeroes its velocity when seated in its slot even
while the anchor drags that slot forward, so braking from velocity alone
stopped the fleet dead instead of coasting - and whether it did depended
on the frame rate.
Animation architecture (issue #10)
- Buildings, projectiles and explosion VFX no longer animate by redrawing.
Static geometry is rasterised once in _draw(); moving parts are NeonPiece
children animated through node properties, which reuse the cached
geometry. Every NeonDraw call expands into four antialiased polylines, so
redrawing to move something re-tessellated all of it.
Test suite (issue #8): 1075s -> ~55s
- Runs from a copy on Termux's own filesystem. The project lives on
Android's FUSE bridge, read through proot, where load("res://Main.tscn")
alone cost 8.5s per test against ~2s natively - and nearly every test
loads it.
- Runs 6 tests at a time, in a single proot-distro login, with output
buffered per test and printed only on failure.
- --fixed-fps 60 pins delta instead of measuring the wall clock, so a test's
result no longer depends on how busy the machine is. Without it,
parallelism made two tests fail on 2 of 3 runs.
- A test passes only if it both exits 0 and prints ": PASS".
- 38 tests, green on three consecutive runs.
