Two visible wins that prove today's wire-layer work is actually doing
something:
1. Chat panel (bottom-left): live tail of the last 10 ChatLog entries.
Color-coded by kind — Tell cyan, Channel green, System yellow, Popup
red, local/ranged white. Bound to WorldSession via the existing
GameEventWiring path (H.1) so server ChannelBroadcast / Tell /
TransientString / Popup + HearSpeech all render live. Includes a
synthetic \"connecting / connected\" system message so the panel
isn't blank before anyone talks.
2. Event panel (bottom-right): last 8 combat events from CombatState
(E.4). Damage taken (red), damage dealt (yellow), evaded-incoming
(green), missed-outgoing (grey). Each entry fades out over 5s.
DebugOverlay.BindCombat wires the listeners.
3. Silk.NET.OpenAL.Soft.Native 1.23.1 added. Before this, OpenAL
managed bindings loaded but the native runtime was absent so
IsAvailable returned false and audio was silently disabled. Now
soft_oal.dll ships to runtimes/win-x64/native/ and the engine
reports \"OpenAL engine ready (16 voices, 3D positional)\" on
launch. Footsteps + other motion-hook sounds now audible.
GameWindow: after constructing DebugOverlay, assign .Chat + .Combat
and call BindCombat to hook the event stream.
Build green, 628 tests still pass.

Adds the first on-screen HUD for the dev client plus today's mouse-control
refinements. Also lands yesterday's scenery-alignment changes that were
left uncommitted in the working tree.
Overlay:
- BitmapFont rasterizes a system TTF via StbTrueTypeSharp into a 512x512
R8 atlas at startup (Consolas on Windows, DejaVu/Menlo fallbacks)
- TextRenderer batches 2D quads in screen-space with ortho projection;
one shader + two draw calls (rect then text) for panel backgrounds
under glyphs
- DebugOverlay composes info / stats / compass / help panels on top of
the 3D scene; toggles via F1/F4/F5/F6; transient toasts for key events
- DebugLineRenderer and its shaders (carried over from the scenery work)
are properly committed in this commit
Controls:
- Per-mode mouse sensitivity (Chase 0.15, Fly 1.0, Orbit 1.0); F8/F9 to
adjust the active mode multiplicatively (x1.2)
- Hold RMB to free-orbit the chase camera around the player; release
stays at the new angle (no snap-back)
- Mouse-wheel zooms chase distance between 2m and 40m
- Chase pitch widened to [-0.7, 1.4] so mouse-Y tilts both ways from
the default neutral angle
Scenery alignment (carried from yesterday's session):
- ShadowObjectRegistry AllEntriesForDebug + Scale field
- SceneryGenerator uses ACViewer's OnRoad polygon test + baseLoc +
set_heading rotation
- BSPQuery dispatchers accept localToWorld so normals/offsets transform
correctly per part
- TransitionTypes.CylinderCollision rewritten with wall-slide + push-out
- PhysicsDataCache caches visual-mesh AABB for scenery that lacks
physics Setup bounds
