#211 conquest is the fight now: a planet registers the garrison its setup
authors, each defender's own death counts against it, and the last one takes
the world. The capture points - stand in a ring, wait out a timer, once per
ring - are gone, along with the editor palette that placed them.
#212 conquest opens a dialog on the surface naming the research points
recovered; the award travels with the signal, after it is banked.
#209 the prologue's charted sectors go with the breach, so the map the
survivors keep is of where they now are - and "chart 30 sectors" is no
longer complete before they have flown anywhere.
#218 enemy variety is gated on the FLEET, not on wave strength: a starting
fleet meets chasers only at any wave number, and each vessel past three
opens one more kind.

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.

The fleet had a second of inertia in it: every vessel's acceleration sat at
roughly its own top speed, so flipping the stick while cruising took 0.58s to
take effect and let go coasted 222 units, while the formation anchor the ships
chase turns instantly. Acceleration is now ~3x top speed, chosen by measuring
rather than taste - past 3x the reversal time stops improving because
max_speed becomes the limit. Measured after: 0.18s and 23 units.
test_fleet_agility guards all three numbers and proves the bounds discriminate
by re-running the same measurement at the old value.
The laser reaches 1450 instead of 950 and strikes 38 units either side instead
of 22. Its drawn width is now derived from the hit width: the two were
independent numbers that had drifted, so the beam killed things it visibly
missed. LaserController's aim range also stopped hardcoding a second copy of
950. Tapping the laser button without dragging used to do nothing at all - the
press was claimed, the aim begun, then thrown away on release. It now fires at
the nearest enemy in range; dragging still aims precisely. That lives in the
shared aimed-ability controller, so the gas bomb gains it too.
Planets sat one per ~29 chunks - some 35,000 units of nothing between them.
Now one per ~12, measured over 14,641 chunks. The two thresholds moved by
different amounts deliberately: every SPACE-biome planet is a gas giant, so
lowering both equally would have tripled the gas-giant share as well. This
changes how often you find a planet, not what you find. Extractors produce
half as fast to match, so expanding is what grows the economy.
The research screen gave its tree 386px of 1280 and the text below it 520.
The text is now at the bottom, the tree has 550, and the resource table has
room and legible type - and its LOCAL column is no longer hidden behind the
close button.
Two map-editor bugs turned out to be one cause: a setup's id and its FILENAME
are not the same thing, and both save and delete rebuilt the path from the id.
ResearchLabSetup.tres holds setup_id "research_lab_1", so deleting it looked
for a file that does not exist and silently refused - which read as "the first
item in the list cannot be deleted" - while saving it wrote a second file
under the derived name and left the original behind, so the pool served the
stale twin. A third bug hid behind those: rescan() re-read through Godot's
resource cache and handed back pre-save values even when the file on disk was
correct. All three present to a player as "my change was not saved".
Research labs no longer grant a point of their own; what conquering one is
worth comes entirely from its authored map, as asked. The shipped lab map
carries 1 so the balance is unchanged - only where it is configured moved.
Suite 109/109. Four tests changed because the behaviour they pinned changed:
the joystick coast is now derived from cruise_speed^2/(2*acceleration) rather
than a constant tuned to one acceleration; the extractor wait derives from
EXTRACTOR_RATE; the research-point test asserts the delegation; and the black
hole test no longer assumes nobody will ever author a void-profile map.
test_planet_setups and test_planet_map_assignment stopped depending on which
maps happen to be in the content folder, which was making them fail when maps
were added or deleted elsewhere.

CapturePoint tracks neutral/blocked/capturing/captured state by polling
proximity each frame (a ship in capture_radius, no enemy within
enemy_clear_radius), draining gradually rather than resetting when
interrupted, and calling GameState.mark_point_captured() on completion.
PlanetSetupHost now instantiates the real CapturePoint scene per
authored point (restoring already-captured state immediately on
re-landing) and spawns each setup's authored enemies, replacing the
placeholder markers from #42. CaptureLabel is a small self-polling HUD
(same convention as ResourceCounter) showing "CAPTURED n/m" or
"CONQUERED" with a one-shot fade on completion, themed per surface
profile alongside the existing bank/fleet captions.
test_planet_atmosphere_transition.gd's "no enemies on a landed
surface" assumption no longer holds now that setups can place guard
enemies by design - narrowed the check to what it actually needs to
prove: no space-side EnemySpawner/AsteroidField node leaks across the
scene swap.
Part of the #40 conquest-mechanic breakdown.
PlanetSetup/PlanetSetupSpawn define a curated capture-point/enemy
layout for a surface profile; PlanetSetups scans res://PlanetSetups/
at first use (not a hardcoded preload table) so dropping in a new
.tres is the only step needed to add one, and resolves the same
setup for the same planet deterministically, same pattern as
WorldGen.planet_data_at_chunk. PlanetSurfaceController composes a
PlanetSetupHost onto the landed surface alongside the existing
resource-provider feature scene.
Ships two starter setups (rocky_default, gas_default) with
placeholder capture-point markers; #43 replaces the markers with the
real CapturePoint scene through the same apply_setup() entry point.
Part of the #40 conquest-mechanic breakdown.
