Fix all stale UID warnings

Scene files referenced assets by UIDs that no longer matched the
importer records. Rewrote 13 ext_resource references to the current
UIDs from the .import sidecars, and gave wow_style.tres the UID that
nine UI scenes were already referencing (its header had none).
Headless load is now warning-free.

 ## Project Overview
 
-This is a 3D multiplayer fighting game built in Godot 4.5 using an inheritance-based architecture. The game uses ENet for client-server networking with the Network singleton (autoload) managing all multiplayer connections.
+**Survival of the Snippest** — a 3D multiplayer gladiator arena survival roguelike built in Godot 4.5.
+Outfit a gladiator with banked gold, enter the colosseum, survive escalating enemy waves, earn gold
+from kills and wave clears, and either retire alive (keep everything) or die (keep 10% of your total
+value, floored at the 500-gold fresh start). Uses ENet client-server networking.
 
 ## Key Commands
 
 ### Running the Game
-- Open the project in Godot Editor and press F5 to run
+- Open the project in Godot Editor and press F5, or: `godot --path . res://level/scenes/level.tscn`
-- Or use: `godot --path . res://level/scenes/level.tscn`
+- Headless script-error check: `godot --headless --path . --quit`
 
 ### Testing Multiplayer Locally
-1. Run the main scene (level.tscn)
+1. Run one instance, click ENTER ARENA to host (port 8080)
-2. Click "Host" on one instance to create a server (default port 8080)
+2. Run a second instance, click JOIN FRIEND to connect (IP 127.0.0.1)
-3. Run another instance and click "Join" to connect as a client
+
+### In-Game Debug Keys
+- `N` — start next enemy wave (server only)
+- `H` — toggle hitbox/hurtbox debug visualization (off by default)
+
+## The Core Loop
+
+1. **Outfitting screen** (main menu): armory shop on the left/middle, Character Sheet in preview
+   mode on the right showing the pending loadout live. Buy weapons with banked gold; hand rules
+   enforced (two-handers and off-hands displace each other).
+2. **Arena run**: chosen loadout auto-equips on spawn. Waves spawn on a timer; kills pay gold
+   (server-credited to the killer's peer), wave clears pay a bonus to all players.
+3. **Run end**:
+   - **Death** (permadeath, no respawn): results screen; keep `max(500, 10% of total value)`;
+     gear and loadout liquidated.
+   - **Retire** (escape menu, or quitting alive): bank 100% of run gold, keep all gear.
 
 ## Architecture
 
-### Inheritance Structure
+### Autoloads (singletons)
-The codebase follows an inheritance-based design pattern:
+- **Network** (`level/scripts/network.gd`) — ENet setup, host/join, `players` dict keyed by peer_id
-- **BaseUnit** (base class) - Common functionality for all game entities that can take damage/have health
+  (`{"nick": String, "skin": Character.SkinColor}`). Server = peer 1, MAX_PLAYERS = 10.
-- **Character** extends **CharacterBody3D** - Player character class (class_name: Character)
+- **GameState** (`level/scripts/game_state.gd`) — the economy. Persists `banked_gold`,
-  - Currently implements movement, jumping, sprinting, respawning, and skin customization
+  `owned_items`, `selected_loadout` to `user://save.cfg`. Per-run: `run_gold`, `current_wave`,
-  - Uses multiplayer authority for input handling (only the owner processes input)
+  `kills_this_run`, `run_active`. Key API: `buy_item`, `equip_loadout_item`, `start_run`,
+  `end_run` (death settlement, double-call guarded), `retire_run` (bank everything),
+  `server_credit_kill/gold` (server → owning peer RPCs), `server_sync_wave`.
+  No compile-time dependency on Network — keep it that way (testable standalone via `--script`).
+- **HUD** (`level/ui/scripts/hud_manager.gd`) — builds all in-run UI for the local player
+  (action bar, unit frame, character sheet, arena status wave/gold readout, escape menu,
+  run results on death). `reset()` tears everything down when returning to the menu —
+  autoload children survive scene reloads, so always reset before `reload_current_scene()`.
 
-### Networking (Network.gd)
+### Class hierarchy
-- **Type**: Autoload singleton (accessible via `Network` globally)
+- **BaseUnit** (`base_unit.gd`) — health, damage, death, respawn, passive regen. Server validates
-- **Protocol**: ENet (UDP-based)
+  all damage. NOTE: `died` can fire twice on the host (direct emit + call_local sync) — guard
-- **Architecture**: Client-Server (one host, multiple clients up to MAX_PLAYERS=10)
+  anything expensive hooked to it.
-- **Player Data**: Stored in `Network.players` dictionary keyed by peer_id
+- **Character** (`player.gd`, class_name Character) — player: movement, dash, attacks, blocking,
-  - Contains: `{"nick": String, "skin": Character.SkinColor}`
+  weapon equip/drop/pickup. `can_respawn = false` (death ends the run). Attacks snap the body to
+  camera facing and lock direction for startup+active (`_lock_facing_to_camera`); dash locks
+  direction for its duration.
+- **BaseEnemy** (`base_enemy.gd`) — targeting, `gold_reward` (basic 10, armed 25). Enemies are
+  server-authoritative (authority = 1).
+  - **BasicEnemy** — melee chaser; `can_respawn = false`, despawns after death, 40% health orb drop.
+  - **ArmedEnemy** — player-model enemy that seeks/equips weapons and drops them on death.
+    `can_respawn = false` (respawning would be a gold farm). Practice dummies DO respawn and
+    deliberately pay no gold.
+
+### Weapons
+- **WeaponData** (`weapon_data.gd`) — Resource in `level/resources/*.tres`: combat stats, hand type
+  (MAIN_HAND / OFF_HAND / TWO_HAND), block stats, `cost`/`tier` for the shop, `icon` (optional —
+  weapon slots fall back to name text when missing).
+- **BaseWeapon** — equipped instance on a hand bone; **WorldWeapon** — pickable RigidBody3D.
+- No free floor weapons: manually placed WorldWeapons in level.tscn are removed at init on the
+  server (`_remove_manual_weapons_on_server`). Gear enters play via the shop or enemy drops only.
+- The shop catalog is auto-discovered: any WeaponData `.tres` in `level/resources/` appears in
+  the armory (`outfitting_screen.gd`).
+
+### UI
+- `character_sheet.gd` has two modes: live player (Tab in-game) and `preview_mode` (embedded in
+  the outfitting screen, rendering from a loadout dictionary). Keep both paths working.
+- UI is largely built in code; match that style for new components.
 
 ### RPC Patterns
-The project uses Godot 4's RPC system for multiplayer synchronization:
+- `@rpc("any_peer", "reliable")` — server-validated actions (damage, heal); server checks
-- Use `@rpc("any_peer", "reliable")` for critical data (health, damage)
+  `multiplayer.is_server()` inside.
-- Use `@rpc("any_peer", "unreliable")` for frequent position updates
+- `@rpc("any_peer", "call_local", "reliable")` — state sync to all peers (spawns, equips, health).
-- The server (multiplayer.is_server()) is authoritative for game state
+- `@rpc("authority", ...)` — server-initiated (GameState credits, wave sync).
-- Use `multiplayer.get_remote_sender_id()` to identify RPC sender
+- Use `rpc_id(peer_id, ...)` for targeted sync (late-join). When the server targets itself
-- Use `rpc_id(peer_id, "method_name")` for targeted RPCs
+  (peer 1), call the method directly instead of `rpc_id(1, ...)`.
+- Late-join sync lives in `level.gd _on_player_connected` — new networked object types must be
+  added there (players, weapons, enemies, orbs, equipped gear all have precedents).
 
-### Scene Structure
+### Scene Structure (level.tscn)
-- **level/scenes/level.tscn** - Main scene with menu UI, chat, and PlayersContainer
+- Containers the code expects by name: `PlayersContainer`, `WeaponsContainer`, `EnemiesContainer`,
-  - level.gd spawns players dynamically when they connect
+  `OrbsContainer`, `PlayerSpawnPoints`, `EnemySpawner` (spawn points are its children named
-- **level/scenes/player.tscn** - Player character scene
+  `EnemySpawnPoint*`).
-  - Instantiated by server when players connect
+- Networked nodes are named deterministically for lookup: players by peer_id, `WorldWeapon_<id>`,
-  - Named with peer_id for easy lookup
+  `Enemy_<wave>_<n>`, `ArmedEnemy_<n>`, `HealthOrb_<id>`.
 
 ### Physics Layers
-- Layer 1: "player" - Player collision
+1 player · 2 world · 3 weapon · 4 hitbox · 5 hurtbox
-- Layer 2: "world" - Environment collision
 
-### Input Actions
+### Input Actions (project.godot)
-Defined in project.godot:
+`move_left/right/forward/backward` (WASD), `jump` (Space), `shift` (sprint), `dash` (F),
-- `move_left`, `move_right`, `move_forward`, `move_backward` (WASD)
+`attack` (LMB), `block` (RMB), `pickup` (E), `toggle_character_sheet` (Tab),
-- `jump` (Space)
+`toggle_chat` (F12), `quit` (Esc).
-- `shift` (Left Shift for sprinting)
-- `quit` (Escape)
-- `toggle_chat` (Enter)
 
 ## Development Guidelines
 
 ### Git Commits
-When creating git commits, do NOT include "🤖 Generated with [Claude Code]" or "Co-Authored-By: Claude" in commit messages. Keep commit messages clean and professional.

-### Adding New Components
+### Verification
-1. Create scripts in `level/scripts/`
+- Always run `godot --headless --path . --quit` after script changes and check for SCRIPT ERROR.
-2. For multiplayer-synchronized components:
+  (Pre-existing "invalid UID" warnings on mesh/theme assets are known noise.)
-   - Always check `is_multiplayer_authority()` before processing input
+- Economy logic can be tested standalone: a SceneTree script that instantiates
-   - Use RPC for state changes that need to replicate
+  `game_state.gd` and exercises the API (`--script` mode; autoload `_ready` doesn't fire there,
-   - Server should validate all important state changes
+  call `load_save()` manually). Restore the default save afterwards.
+- Test multiplayer with 2 instances (host + client); check late joins and death/retire flows.
 
-### Adding New Unit Types (Enemies, NPCs)
+### Adding Content
-1. Create a new class that extends BaseUnit
+- **New weapon**: create a WeaponData `.tres` in `level/resources/` with `cost`/`tier` — the shop
-2. Implement required virtual methods
+  picks it up automatically.
-3. Add any unique behavior in _physics_process/_process
+- **New enemy**: extend BaseEnemy, set `gold_reward`, decide `can_respawn` (respawning enemies
-4. Ensure multiplayer authority is set correctly
+  must not pay gold), add scene to the EnemySpawner pool or spawn via level.gd (connect its
-
+  `died` signal for gold there).
-### Testing Multiplayer
+- **Multiplayer state changes**: server validates, then syncs via RPC; check
-- Always test with at least 2 instances (1 host, 1 client)
+  `is_multiplayer_authority()` before processing input.
-- Test edge cases: late joins, disconnections, packet loss
-- Verify state is synchronized correctly across all clients
-
-## Common Patterns
-
-### Spawning Networked Entities
-```gdscript
-# Server-side only
-if multiplayer.is_server():
-    var entity = entity_scene.instantiate()
-    entity.name = str(unique_id)  # Name with ID for easy lookup
-    entity.set_multiplayer_authority(owner_peer_id)
-    container.add_child(entity, true)  # true = force readable name
-```
-
-### Multiplayer Authority Check
-```gdscript
-func _physics_process(delta):
-    if not is_multiplayer_authority():
-        return
-    # Only the authority processes input/logic
-```
-
-### RPC for State Changes
-```gdscript
-@rpc("any_peer", "reliable")
-func take_damage(amount: int, attacker_id: int):
-    if not multiplayer.is_server():
-        return  # Server validates
-    # Apply damage logic
-    rpc("sync_health", current_health)  # Broadcast to all
-```
