[ ADT's Daily Report - 2025-12-19 ]

## Bug Fixes

✅ **GDScript Parse Errors Fixed** - Resolved type inference errors in `boot_screen.gd` and `admin_panel.gd` by using explicit type annotations instead of inferred typing for variables where the type couldn't be determined (e.g., `await` returns, `Dictionary.get()` comparisons).

## Lobby UI Redesign

✅ **Match Duration Sync** - Added client-side read-only display for match duration. Host sees OptionButton to change, clients see Label text that updates via RPC when host changes duration.

✅ **Character Selection System** - Implemented in `lobby_manager.gd`:
   - 4 characters available: Bob, Gatot, Masbro, Oldpop
   - `cycle_character(direction)` with ◀ ▶ buttons
   - RPC sync via `sync_character()` to broadcast selections to all players
   - Character expression textures used as preview images

✅ **Area Selection System** - Host-only area selector:
   - 4 placeholder areas: Desert, Forest, City, Factory
   - `cycle_area(direction)` with ◀ ▶ buttons (disabled for clients)
   - RPC sync via `sync_area()` to show current area to all players

✅ **New Lobby Layout** (`lobby.tscn` redesign):
   - Top bar: Profile, Logout, Match ID + Copy, Duration setting
   - Host banner (yellow "HOST" label)
   - 4 player slots with: character preview image, ◀ ▶ nav buttons, ready status
   - Area selector at bottom-left
   - Bottom bar: Leave, Ready, Match buttons

✅ **Player Slot Character Navigation** - Fixed client character selector arrows missing by adding CharacterNav (◀ ▶) to all 4 player slots. Local player sees navigation buttons, other players see just character name label.
