What does the Run Godot skill do?

File contents

Run the Godot project

Because UI is built entirely in C# (no .tscn for UI), a build passing is not proof the screen looks/behaves right — run it.

Find the editor binary. godot may not be on PATH. Check which godot, then common names (godot4, Godot_v4.6*). It must be the .NET / Mono build. If none is found, tell the user and ask for the path — do not guess.
Build C# first (headless-safe): dotnet build Game.csproj. Fix errors before launching.
Run the main scene from the repo root:
```
<godot> --path . 
```
Add --headless --quit-after 2 for a smoke run in CI-like contexts (won't show UI but confirms it boots).
Verify the change — the app starts on level/game_level.tscn. Interact with the relevant screen; check GD.Print output in the console and any on-screen result.
Report what you observed (started cleanly / errors in console / expected UI shown). If you can't launch a GUI in this environment, say so and fall back to verify (build + tests) plus a note that a human should run it.

Prefer the built-in run skill if it already covers this project better; this skill is the Godot-specific fallback.
