joryirving/windowstead #49: tighten bottom dock padding for better world strip fill

[itsmiso-ai]

Fixes #49. Partial fix — reduced BOTTOM_DOCK_PADDING from Vector2i(48, 110) to Vector2i(32, 72) to tighten the bottom world strip's fill within its dock. Horizontal padding reduced by 33% (48→32px each side), vertical padding reduced by 35% (110→72px). Preserves geometry-derived tile sizing from #39.

PR Review: Tighten Bottom Dock Padding (Issue #49)

Recommendation: Approve

This is a clean, focused change that reduces BOTTOM_DOCK_PADDING from Vector2i(48, 110) to Vector2i(32, 72), achieving roughly 33% horizontal and 35% vertical padding reduction for the bottom dock.

Change Summary

• File: scripts/main.gd
• Type: Single constant value modification
• Impact: Reduces padding chrome around the world strip in bottom dock mode

Standards Compliance

Conforms to repository conventions:

1. Tile-first dock sizing: The PR body explicitly states "Preserves geometry-derived tile sizing from Make dock sizing derive from tile geometry instead of the other way around #39" — consistent with the architecture established in PR windowstead #39: derive dock size from tile geometry #48.

2. "Bottom dock should stay shallow and wide" (CLAUDE.md): Reducing vertical padding (110→72) while also reducing horizontal padding directly supports keeping the dock shallower with more space for the game world.

3. "Denser strip filling" (Open Work Themes): This change explicitly addresses the stated open work theme by reducing dead space around the world strip.

4. "Dense tile strip with minimal dead space" (UX Constraints): The reduction in padding directly reduces dead space around the game strip.

5. Consistent with recent architecture: Git log shows this builds on PR windowstead #39: derive dock size from tile geometry #48 (tile-first dock sizing), maintaining the tile-geometry-first approach rather than sizing the dock independently.

Technical Observations

• No syntax issues — GDScript constant assignment is valid
• No breaking changes — purely visual/layout adjustment
• No save migration needed
• No dependency on external resources

Unknowns / Needs Verification

• Runtime validation: No test results or headless validation provided. Repository standards mention running ./.tools/Godot_v4.2.2-stable_linux.x86_64 --headless --path . --script res://tests/test_runner.gd for validation.
• Visual confirmation: No screenshots or visual evidence included to verify the change produces the intended "better world strip fill" result.
• Cross-platform impact: macOS runtime validation has been important in this repo per AGENTS.md notes.
