CI found the gap the hard way: with every kind of asset in the project
the new scene sits below the panel, and the right click for "Set as
start scene" landed somewhere under the list instead of on the row.
locate() only asked whether a text was visible, and a masked row still
is - it is merely clipped away.
locateAll and overlayTexts now walk the tree together (eachText) and
carry the clip of every ancestor, measured on the widget that owns the
mask: Pixi v8 hands a Graphics set as a mask to the mask effect and
reports empty bounds for it, so asking the mask itself declares every
masked text in the editor missing. Two hooks with two notions of
"visible" was the second half of the same bug.
The panel also scrolls the selected row into view now, the way the
hierarchy has always done - an asset selected elsewhere has to be
findable in the list, test or no test. And step 21 learned that scene
is a property kind.
Load scene sets a flag on the World like Stop and Restart do; the swap
happens after the tick, and the last wish of a tick wins. Exactly one
thing crosses over: the SharedState, so global variables and global
machines keep what they know while everything local is built anew.
Loading the scene that is already running rebuilds it, which is what
"reset the level" means when the score must survive.
A run starts either from the start scene (a new project field, set from
the asset panel and marked with an arrow in the list) or from whatever
scene is open. The toggle next to Play says which question is asked and
remembers the answer in localStorage: it is a way of working, not part
of the game.
Sounds no longer end because a scene ends. A voice belongs to the
behavior that started it and stops right after On destroy, so the scene
swap is no longer a special case at all. For the enemy that plays its
explosion and destroys itself in the same breath there is now a
detached input on Play sound.
The scene selector stays usable while a run plays, because a double
click in the asset panel already did the same thing unguarded. It moves
what the editor looks at, not what the run plays.
