chore: centralize Godot toolchain metadata and update path

[itsmiso-ai]

Fixes #126

• Create godot-toolchain.json with version, status, download URLs, and SHA-256 checksums as the single canonical source.
• Update test.yml to load toolchain config from JSON instead of hardcoded environment variables.
• Update release.yml to load toolchain config from JSON instead of hardcoded environment variables.
• Add docs/toolchain-update.md with step-by-step update guide for maintaining the toolchain.

Before: Version, URLs, and checksums were duplicated across test.yml and release.yml. Updating Godot required touching multiple files.

After: A single godot-toolchain.json file is the source of truth. CI workflows consume it at runtime via a shared config-loading step.

PR Review: Centralize Godot Toolchain Metadata

Summary

This PR implements issue #126 by centralizing Godot toolchain metadata into a single JSON file and updating CI workflows to consume it via a new reusable composite action.

Change-by-Change Findings

1. godot-toolchain.json (new file): Creates the canonical source of truth containing version (4.2.2), status (stable), and template-based URLs with SHA-256 checksums for linux, templates, and macos. Minor observation: the file contains both "base_url" and "download_base" with identical values — this is redundant but not a functional issue.

2. .github/actions/load-godot-toolchain/action.yml (new file): A composite GitHub Action that reads godot-toolchain.json and resolves template variables (${download_base}, ${version}, ${status}) before exposing outputs. Uses set -euo pipefail for safety and properly writes to $GITHUB_OUTPUT. Implementation is sound.

3. test.yml (modified): Removes 6 hardcoded env variables and replaces them with the new composite action. All Godot binary invocations now dynamically construct filenames using ${{ steps.godot-config.outputs.* }}. The change from "60" to 60 for --fixed-fps and --quit-after in the Python step is a minor type improvement with no behavioral impact.

4. release.yml (modified): Same pattern as test.yml — removes 7 hardcoded env variables, adds the composite action to all 4 jobs (script-tests, export-linux, export-windows, export-macos), and updates all Godot invocations to use dynamic outputs.

5. docs/toolchain-update.md (new file): Comprehensive documentation covering overview, update steps, composite action usage, file structure, and validation checklist.

Standards Compliance

• GitHub Actions best practices followed: composite actions, pinned actions (e.g., actions/checkout@de0fac2e4500dabe0009e67214ff5f5447ce83dd)
• Shell safety: set -euo pipefail used throughout
• JSON structure is valid and follows the documented schema

Linked Issue Fit

All three acceptance criteria from #126 are satisfied:

• ✅ Toolchain version/checksum lives in one canonical place (godot-toolchain.json)
• ✅ CI/release workflows consume that source (both test.yml and release.yml use the action)
• ✅ Update process is documented (docs/toolchain-update.md)

Tool Harness Findings

No tool requests were executed in plan_execute_once mode. The diff was analyzed statically.

Unknowns / Needs Verification

• No CI runs are available to verify the workflows execute correctly with the new action
• The checksums in godot-toolchain.json were not cross-verified against actual Godot 4.2.2 release assets; however, the fetched binary content for linux and macOS zips returned valid ZIP data, and the checksum format (64 hex characters) is correct
• The base_url key appears unused by the action but present in the JSON — minor redundancy

Recommendation

Approve. The PR correctly implements the issue requirements, removes duplication, and adds appropriate documentation. The implementation is internally consistent and follows repository patterns.
