MechaCat02 d475e78d80 port: pin Godot 4.7.2, and decide the MCP/skills question ...

The pin was 4.3, chosen without checking; 4.7.2 is the current stable (released
2026-08-18). Getting this right matters more here than usual because the project
diffs Godot screenshots against a reference renderer, so the engine version is
part of the measurement.

No Godot MCP server. Not because they are bad -- the mature ones need a LIVE
editor plus a WebSocket plugin and a Python server, which is a daemon, an editor
process and a second runtime added to an unattended loop. And their headline
feature, scene-tree introspection and node manipulation, is built for someone
hand-authoring scenes in the editor. This port GENERATES screens from exported
JSON: the agent writes a loader, not a scene tree, so the feature that justifies
the complexity does not apply. What it actually needs to verify itself -- run
headless, screenshot, diff against sylpheed-cli screen render -- is already a
bash job.

Third-party skill packs are the opposite trade: pure context, no runtime. Worth
revisiting, deliberately not installed now, because a skill is instructions
injected into an agent running with approvals disabled -- a supply-chain
decision, not a default -- and because P0/P1 need no advanced GDScript. The
agent may propose one, naming the milestone it unblocks, for a human to vendor
and review.
