Lands the M7 plan's first two sub-milestones on port/godot.
theriapolis-rpg-implementation-plan-godot-port-m7.md is the design
doc (six screens collapse to four scenes + a camera mode, with
per-screen behavioural contracts and a six-step sub-milestone
breakdown).
M7.1 — WorldGenProgressScreen + GameSession autoload + wizard
hand-off rewrite. GameSession holds the cross-scene state that
outlives any single screen: seed, post-worldgen Ctx, pending
character (from the M6 wizard) and pending save snapshot (for
M7.3's load path). Wizard forwards StepReview.CharacterConfirmed
upward, and TitleScreen swaps to the progress screen instead of
just printing the build summary. The progress screen runs the
23-stage pipeline on a background thread, drives a ProgressBar
from ctx.ProgressCallback, and writes the full exception trace to
user://worldgen_error.log on failure. Escape cancels at the next
stage boundary and returns to title.
M7.2 — PlayScreen with a walking character. Extracted
WorldRenderNode from the M2+M4 WorldView demo so PlayScreen and
WorldView mount the same renderer (biome image + polylines +
bridges + settlement dots + tactical chunk lifecycle + PanZoomCamera
+ per-frame layer visibility + line-width counter-scaling).
PlayScreen owns the streamer (M7.3 save needs it), composes
ContentResolver + ActorManager + WorldClock + AnchorRegistry +
PlayerController, spawns the player at the Tier-1 anchor, and
wires resident + non-resident NPC spawning from chunk-load events
with allegiance-tinted markers.
PlayerController ported engine-agnostic to Theriapolis.Godot/Input/.
Takes pre-resolved dx/dy/dt/isTactical/isFocused instead of poking
MonoGame InputManager + Camera2D, so the arithmetic that advances
PlayerActor.Position and WorldClock.InGameSeconds is bit-identical
to the MonoGame version — saves round-trip cleanly.
Click-to-travel in world-map mode (camera zoom <
TacticalRenderZoomMin), WASD step in tactical mode with axis-
separated motion + encumbrance + sub-second clock carry. HUD
overlay top-left shows HP/AC/seed/tile/biome/view-mode/time. Esc
returns to title (M7.4 replaces this with a pause menu).
Namespace gotcha: Theriapolis.GodotHost.Input shadows the engine's
Godot.Input static class for any file under the GodotHost
namespace tree. Files needing keyboard polls (WorldView,
PlayScreen) fully qualify as Godot.Input.IsKeyPressed.

Default boot now lands on a centered title screen instead of the M0
hello-world label. Vertical button stack — New Character, Continue,
Quit — over the codex parchment field, with the H1 codex title and a
PORT / GODOT · M6.20 version chip in the bottom-right.
Continue is disabled until user://character.json exists; clicking it
prints a placeholder until the M7 play loop can pick the persisted
state up. New Character swaps the title for the wizard scene under
the Main parent. The wizard's existing "← Title" back-button on
Step 0 now actually does something — TitleScreen wires its
BackToTitle signal to a parent-side swap that reinstates the title
screen when the player backs out.
--wizard command-line flag still skips straight to the wizard for
fast-path development. Layout uses SetAnchorsAndOffsetsPreset
(LayoutPreset.FullRect) on the backing panel and CenterContainer —
manual AnchorRight = 1 doesn't fill in code because Godot's anchor
setters preserve visual position by adjusting offsets, leaving the
control at 0×0.
