feat(menu): add a credits screen generated from ASSETS_LICENSES.md

[esthor]

[Agent: Claude Code | Model: Opus 5.5 | Thinking: High | Acting on behalf of: Erik | Skill: none]

Closes #51.

Touches the hub (Trey): scenes/main_menu/main_menu.gd gains a Credits button after Settings and Quit Game. It is appended last to buttons, so buttons[3] and buttons[4] are unchanged. The three utility buttons are 160 px wide instead of 202, so they fit, with a 28 px gap so the focus arrow doesn't sit on the neighbouring button. Trey, move it wherever you like; the route is credits.

Why

The game needs a credits screen that players can see. #51 asked for one generated from ASSETS_LICENSES.md, so the screen and the table can't drift apart. When #51 was filed, CC BY and CC BY-SA tracks required attribution. The soundtrack PRs (#75, #77–#80) have since replaced every third-party track with Erik's music. Generating the credits from the table means they follow those changes, and they will attribute any CC BY asset added later.

What

• tools/credits/build_credits.py turns the Third-party table of ASSETS_LICENSES.md into scenes/credits/asset_credits.json:

  • one credit per asset the game uses ("Not referenced" rows are left out);
  • grouped into Music, Sound effects and Art;
  • each with the attribution line the table asks for ("Credit: …", or "<title>" by <creator>), the license name, and the source and license links.

  --check fails when the JSON is out of date, and CI runs it. CONTRIBUTING now says to run the script after editing the table.

• scenes/credits/credits.json holds the hand-written sections, shown first. Each has a title, optional lines and optional tracks ({"title", "used_by"}). It starts with Original music: Music by Erik Thorelli and an empty tracks list, so the soundtrack's track list can be added as data, with no code change. More sections, such as team credits, are just more entries.

• scenes/credits/credits.tscn (route credits):

  • It scrolls by itself, pausing at the end and after manual scrolling.
  • Up and Down or the mouse wheel scroll it by hand.
  • Esc, B or Return to Main Menu go back to the hub.
  • It leaves the hub's music playing and touches no audio.

  It is in ControllerService.MENU_ROUTES, so controller prompts and the menu bindings apply.

• Docs: a Credits section in docs/main-menu.md, and the CONTRIBUTING step.

Testing (macOS, Godot 4.7.1)

Check	Result
tests/credits_screen.gd (new)	the hub button opens the screen. Original music is credited to Erik Thorelli. Every generated credit is on screen, followed by its license, and any CC BY credit carries its attribution (the check reads the data, so it holds as the table changes). A track added to a section is shown. It scrolls by itself and by hand (padded so it always overflows), and Esc and the button return to the hub.
tools/credits/test_build_credits.py (new)	grouping, unused assets, stated versus composed credit lines and CC BY handling (on a fixture), short license names, link fallbacks, malformed input, every CC BY asset in the real table credited (none today), the committed JSON current, and --check catching stale data
controller_service, menu_return_layout	pass (the new route is classified; the hub's buttons don't overlap)
Rendered capture	hub with the Credits button focused, and the credits screen at the top and partway down

Heads-up for the soundtrack PRs: once this merges, any change to ASSETS_LICENSES.md needs python3 tools/credits/build_credits.py in the same PR, or CI's credits check fails. Erik's tracks go in credits.json under Original music.

📝 Walkthrough

Adds a Credits button and screen to the game. A Python tool generates asset-credit data from the Third-party table in ASSETS_LICENSES.md. The screen displays hand-written sections before generated credits and supports automatic and manual scrolling.

Changes: Credits screen and asset-credit generation

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Generate and validate asset credits tools/credits/*, hoppys-adventure-arcade/scenes/credits/asset_credits.json, .github/workflows/ci.yml, CONTRIBUTING.md	The generator parses the Third-party table, skips rows marked “Not referenced,” and groups credits as Music, Sound effects, and Art. Tests cover parsing and output freshness. CI runs the tests and checks the generated file. CONTRIBUTING documents the generation command.
Display credits and connect menu navigation hoppys-adventure-arcade/scenes/credits/*, hoppys-adventure-arcade/app/*, hoppys-adventure-arcade/scenes/main_menu/main_menu.gd, hoppys-adventure-arcade/tests/credits_screen.gd, docs/main-menu.md	The screen displays hand-written sections before generated credits, supports automatic and manual scrolling, and provides return navigation. The main menu adds a Credits button, and the router maps the credits route to the scene. The controller menu-route list also adds runner_game. Tests cover displayed credits, navigation, and scrolling. Documentation describes the screen and credit data.

Merge Risk: ⚪ Minimal · up to f0008

The credits screen and its navigation have no established merge-blocking issue. Valor of Heroes was replaced by original music, and the credits route is classified as a menu.

Security architecture risk: ⚪ Minimal · up to f0008

The reviewed credits flow adds no material security exposure. Repository-controlled attribution data is displayed as plain text, generation writes to a fixed local file, and CI checks freshness without updating that file.

Retained concerns
No architecture-level concerns identified.

Security review details

Security Blast Radius

• inferred — For the inspected path, control over license-table content affects generated attribution and its display, not filesystem destination selection, credentials, or command execution. The generator's write authority remains that of the local invoking process.

Trust Boundaries and Controls

• observed — The new CI invocation uses fixed commands and read-only freshness checking. The workflow retains contents-read permissions and disables persisted checkout credentials; tests redirect generation writes to a temporary directory.

⚠️ Potential issue | 🟡 Minor | 💤 Low value

leave() permanently sets leaving before calling go() and ignores its success result. The supplied router can return false after a failed scene change while leaving the credits scene active.

Every later Esc, B, or return-button attempt is rejected by leaving, preventing recovery from the failed transition.

This can occur when: The hub transition fails resource validation or change_scene_to_file(), rather than merely being rejected by the already-checked busy guard.

The explicit-credit regex treats any period followed by whitespace as the end of attribution. A creator's initials or abbreviation inside a required credit line can truncate the credited name.

The generated attribution becomes "Theme" by Jane Q, losing part of the requested creator credit.

This can occur when: A License cell contains Credit: "Theme" by Jane Q. Public. Preserve attribution.

The manual-pause assertion succeeds whenever hold remains positive, even if the scroll position continues changing. It checks the timer variable as an alternative to the observable pause.

The test passes while its stated manual-scroll pause behavior is broken.

This can occur when: A regression sets MANUAL_HOLD after input but continues advancing the automatic scroll while hold is positive.

table() splits every |, so a valid cell such as Jump \| Land produces an extra field. The length filter then drops the row silently. Parse escaped pipe characters as cell content and reject malformed rows instead of omitting them.

The newly registered menu route is passed to BoothLog.route_changed(), but the supplied changes show only ControllerService's menu registration. If BoothLog maintains a separate menu classification, Credits may be recorded as a gameplay session.

Credits visits produce spurious gameplay sessions or distort session durations and booth reports.

This can occur when: A user visits Credits with booth mode or --session-log enabled, and BoothLog's classification does not recognize credits as a menu.

Re review 5542532934: the five inline items are fixed in 7ad9629 (replies are in the threads). The follow-ups:

• credits.gd: leave() latching on a failed route change. Fixed. It awaits AppRouter.go("hub"), which returns whether the hub opened since feat(booth): soak test and frame-rate probe for long unattended runs #83, and clears leaving when it didn't, so Esc, B or the button can try again.
• build_credits.py: source links on the Asset cell. Fixed. The source is the License cell's non-license link, else a link on the asset's name, else one on the creator's. A fixture row with a linked asset name covers it.
• build_credits.py: credit lines cut at initials. Fixed. A credit line ends at a semicolon or a sentence-ending period, but not after a single initial or a common abbreviation (Jr, Sr, Dr, St, Co, Inc, Ltd). The fixture's Credit: "Jump \| Land" by Jane Q. Public. Keep this note. yields "Jump | Land" by Jane Q. Public.
• credits_screen.gd: the manual-pause assertion. Fixed. It records the position right after the manual step, waits half a second and requires the same position, without falling back to the timer variable.
• build_credits.py: escaped pipes. Fixed. Cells split only on unescaped pipes, \| stays in the cell as |, and a row with the wrong number of cells raises a ValueError naming it instead of disappearing.
• app_router.gd: Credits recorded as a game session. Not changed, because it already can't happen. BoothLog starts a session only for routes in its explicit GAMES list (app/booth_log.gd: Heroes vs. Villains, Code City Brawl, the three platformer levels and runner_game). Every other route, credits included, only ends a session. tests/booth_session_log.gd already checks that menus and the hub start no session.

Local checks: credits_screen, controller_service and menu_return_layout pass, the generator's 11 tests pass, and build_credits.py --check is clean.
