40250 classic: increment 50 (Phase 1 W1) — §1.5 client version, §1.10 text codec, §2.2 two-packet merge

§1.5 CG_CLIENT_VERSION: send_client_version() now branches on locale. EUROPE (this project's locale) sends CGClientVersion2 (header 0xf1, 67B, timestamp "1215955205"); non-EUROPE sends CGClientVersion (0xfd) + CMake-injected MT_BUILD_TIMESTAMP in C __TIMESTAMP__ form. New ClassicSession::set_executable_name() (default "metin2.bin"; TODO(W0): M2Client passes OS::get_executable_path().get_file()). m_version_sent set only after send_fixed() succeeds. wire_classic.h gains CGClientVersion2 + size-table entry. §1.10 fixed-length text: new extension/src/net/text_codec.h — to_wire()/ from_wire_str() apply a hard byte cap without splitting a UTF-8 multibyte sequence; godot::String overloads are __has_include-guarded so mtnet stays godot-free. classic_session.cpp routes 8 fixed-length name/sign/comment fills through to_wire(); parser reads GC_CHAR_ADDITIONAL_INFO name via from_wire_str(). New net_text_codec_test (ctest net.text_codec). Locale codepage (CP949/CP1252) transcoding remains a follow-up; wire bytes are currently UTF-8 (ASCII round-trips). §2.2 two-packet PC/NPC merge: ClassicParser GC_CHARACTER_ADD drops invisible races (20025/20038/20039); PC/NPC only stash a bare Entity into m_pending_actor; everything else spawns immediately with a name from root/npclist.txt (new npc_names.h + set_npclist_path(); $MT_ASSETS/$M2_ASSETS fallback; TODO(W0): M2Client passes the asset root). GC_CHAR_ADDITIONAL_INFO with no pending entry records m_last_error + m_unhandled_headers and drops (never half-creates); on a hit it merges the pending Entity with the additional-info's 9 fields into one mut_spawn_full() then erases the pending entry. New pending_actor_count() test hook; net_classic_session_test updated (version assertions -> 0xf1; stash -> merge -> spawn, immediate monster spawn, invisible-race drop, no-pending additional-info is a no-op). Depends on W2 §2.2 steps 4-5 (entity_store mut_char_info touch / mut_shop_sign cleanup) — the merge works with current W2 code as-is. Build + ctest 17/17 (16 + net.text_codec); netbridge_test, p10_test green.

 **修改**

-1. 新建 `POC/extension/src/net/text_codec.h`：

-     截断到 `cap`，且不允许在多字节字符中间截断（截到最后一个完整字符）。
-   - `godot::String from_wire(const char*, size_t cap)`：反向，遇 `\0` 停。
-   - 代码页由 `Locale.gd` 的 locale 决定，与 `REF/UserInterface/Locale_inc_*.h` 一一对应。
-2. `wire_classic.h` 的所有 `char name[...]` 字段统一经 `to_wire()` 填充，删掉散落的
-   `memcpy` / `strncpy(utf8)`。
-3. 角色名校验**统一为 `<= 24` 字节**（`CHARACTER_NAME_MAX_LEN = 24`，缓冲 25 含结尾符）。
-   当前代码里 `< 24` 与 `<= 24` 两种规则各出现过，全部改为 `to_wire(name, 24).size() > 0 &&
-   <= 24`。涉及：`charselect.gd` 建号 / 改名、`guild_creation_ui.gd`（公会名上限 12）。
-4. 回归：`text_codec_test.gd` 覆盖 CJK 名恰好 24 字节、25 字节（应拒）、边界多字节截断。
+1. ✅ 新建 `extension/src/net/text_codec.h`（mtnet 侧，不依赖 godot-cpp）：
+   - `std::string to_wire(std::string_view utf8, size_t cap)`：**按字节**截断到 `cap`，
+     且不在 UTF-8 多字节序列中间截断（截到最后一个完整码点）。
+   - `std::string from_wire_str(const char *bytes, size_t cap)`：反向，遇 `\0` 停，
+     并裁掉末尾悬空的部分序列。
+   - `godot::String` 重载用 `#if __has_include(<godot_cpp/variant/string.hpp>)`
+     （`MT_TEXT_CODEC_HAS_GODOT`）守卫，保持 `net_classic_wire_test`（不链 mtnet）可编译。
+   - **非 1:1（follow-up）**：目前 wire 字节即 UTF-8，未做 locale 代码页（CP949 / CP1252）
+     转换；ASCII 可往返，非 ASCII 名对单字节编码服务端会呈现 mojibake。头注释已登记此缺口。
+2. ✅ `wire_classic.h` `#include "../text_codec.h"`；`classic_session.cpp` 里所有定长名字 /
+   招牌 / 公会名 / 好友名 / 私密文本填充改为 `mtnet::to_wire(src, cap)` +

+   `<= 24` 字节属 GDScript（W3 / Phase 2）；本批次只交付 C++ 侧编码。已在下方登记。
+4. ✅ 回归：新增 `extension/tests/net_text_codec_test.cpp`（`ctest` `net.text_codec`），
+   覆盖 CJK 名恰好 24 字节（接受）、25/27 字节（截断到 24，绝不 25/26）、
+   多字节边界截断（切进 3 字节序列中间丢整字）、ASCII 往返、`from_wire_str` 遇 NUL 停 /
+   悬空前导字节裁除 / 无终止符满字段整读。`extension/CMakeLists.txt` 注册。

-     立即 `mut_spawn(...)`，且 `alignment/pk_mode/guild/empire/parts/mount/level` 全部置 0。
-3. `GC_CHAR_ADDITIONAL_INFO` 处理改为：
-   - `m_pending_actor.vid != pkt.dwVID` → 记 error 并**丢弃**，不建实体；
-   - 相等 → 用 pending + additional 的 9 个字段合成一次 `mut_spawn_full(...)`
-     （新 API，一次性写全字段并推 `ChangeKind::Spawn`）。
-4. **删除** `mut_char_info()` 里的 `touch()` 建实体路径；该函数只保留

+1. ✅ `ClassicParser` 已有成员 `std::unordered_map<uint32_t, mtnet::Entity> m_pending_actor;`
+   （W0 增量 49 冻结，等价 `s_kNetActorData`，此处按多槽 map 而非单槽实现）；

+>   §1.5：`ClassicSession::send_client_version()` 改为 locale 分支——EUROPE（本项目 locale）发
+>   `CG_CLIENT_VERSION2`（header `0xf1`，`CGClientVersion2` 67B，timestamp 固定 `"1215955205"`），
+>   非 EUROPE 发 `CG_CLIENT_VERSION`（`0xfd`）+ CMake 注入的 `MT_BUILD_TIMESTAMP`（C `__TIMESTAMP__`
+>   形态）；新增 `set_executable_name()`（默认 `"metin2.bin"`，`// TODO(W0)` 由 M2Client 传
+>   `OS::get_executable_path().get_file()`）；版本包只在 `send_fixed()` 成功后置 `m_version_sent`。
+>   `wire_classic.h` 补 `CGClientVersion2` 结构 + 尺寸表项。§1.10：新增 `extension/src/net/text_codec.h`
+>   —— `to_wire()/from_wire_str()` 做 UTF-8 安全的按字节裁剪（不切多字节序列，硬字节上限），
+>   `godot::String` 重载用 `__has_include` 守卫使 mtnet 仍无 godot 依赖；`classic_session.cpp` 里
+>   create/change name、whisper、私店招牌、公会等级名 / 公告、`ANSWER_MAKE_GUILD`、好友增删共 8 处
+>   定长填充改走 `to_wire()`，parser 侧 `GC_CHAR_ADDITIONAL_INFO` 名字读取走 `from_wire_str()`；

+>   测试钩子；`net_classic_session_test` 更新（版本包断言改 `0xf1`/`CGClientVersion2`；新增两包
+>   暂存 → 合并 → 落地、怪即时生成、invisible-race 丢弃、无暂存附加信息为空操作的覆盖）。
+>   依赖 W2 §2.2 步骤 4–5（`mut_char_info` touch-create / `mut_shop_sign` 裸 `Entity` 清理）——
+>   本次合并逻辑与当前 W2 代码兼容。C++ `ctest` 17/17（原 16 + `net.text_codec`）、`netbridge_test`、
