World/Local:
- Toggle button in toolbar (World/Local)
- Local mode: translate/rotate gizmo aligns with actor's local axes
- Rotation arcs dynamically follow local orientation during drag
- Scale always in local space
- RefreshGizmoOrientation after every drag completion
Snap System:
- Toggle button + configurable value field in toolbar
- Translation: snaps displacement along axis (no world-grid staircase)
- Rotation: snaps accumulated angle to nearest increment
- Scale: snaps scale values
Rotation improvements:
- Screen-space direction with magnitude-based speed (all mouse axes contribute)
- Fixed axis direction stored at drag start (prevents feedback loop)
- Smooth fallback when camera looks along rotation axis
- Keyboard shortcuts: Z/E/R (AZERTY convention)

Rotation gizmo:
- Quarter-arc rings via UProceduralMeshComponent (3D solid with depth)
- Dynamic arc facing: arcs flip to face camera based on octant
- Grey guide lines from center to arc endpoints
- Screen-space rotation direction (correct from any camera angle)
Scale gizmo:
- Arrow shafts + cube tips for per-axis scale
- Center cube (grey) for uniform XYZ scale
- Local space orientation (gizmo aligns with actor rotation)
Other:
- Runtime confirmation dialog (replaces FMessageDialog)
- ProceduralMeshComponent plugin dependency added

Selection Outline:
- Post-process material auto-generated in C++ (no manual UE editor work)
- 8-neighbor edge detection on CustomStencil buffer
- Dynamic pixel-accurate offsets via SceneTexture InvSize (any resolution/ratio)
- Lerp blending (no overexposure), color AF1500, 1px thickness
- BL_SceneColorAfterDOF placement (before TAA, matches stencil resolution)
- Deferred creation via OnPostEngineInit (no startup crash)
- Material saved as persistent .uasset, loaded at runtime
Gizmo Polish:
- Arrow shaft thickness halved (0.03), cone tips halved (0.075x0.1)
- Gizmo stays at initial position during rotation/scale (no jitter)
- Gizmo follows selection during translation

- PostProcessComponent on Pawn (unbound, applies to entire scene)
- Auto-loads M_PS_Editor_SelectionOutline material at BeginPlay
- Removed debug bounding box from Tick
- Custom depth stencil already toggled on selected actors
- Material needs to be created in UE editor (edge detection on CustomStencil)
- Instructions: use TexCoord + Constant2Vector offsets for 4-neighbor sampling

Serialization:
- SceneData USTRUCT with Version, SceneName, Timestamp, Actors array
- ActorData: ClassPath, Location, Rotation, Scale per spawned actor
- SceneSerializer: SaveScene/LoadScene/ClearScene/GetSavedSceneNames
- Files stored in Saved/PS_Editor/Scenes/{name}.json
- Uses FJsonObjectConverter for clean USTRUCT-to-JSON conversion
SpawnManager:
- Tracks all spawned actors in SpawnedActors array
- SpawnActorDirect: spawn from class/transform (used by scene loading)
- DestroyAllSpawnedActors: clean scene clear
UI:
- Save field + button in toolbar area
- New Scene button to clear all spawned actors
- Saved scenes list with click-to-load
- Auto-refreshes scene list after save
- Clears selection on load/new

Spawn System:
- SpawnableComponent: marker component for Blueprint actors (name, category, thumbnail)
- SpawnCatalog DataAsset: lists all spawnable Blueprints with Factory for easy creation
- SpawnManager: loads catalog, spawns actors in front of camera, ensures Movable mobility
- Reads metadata from Blueprint component templates (no temp spawn needed)
Catalogue UI:
- Left panel with scrollable list grouped by category
- Thumbnail cards (80x80) with name below, click to spawn
- "Capture All Thumbnails" button on DataAsset: auto-generates from UE thumbnails
Undo/Redo improvements:
- SpawnAction: undo hides spawned actor, redo shows it
- Delete confirmation dialog (Yes/No) before soft-delete
- Undo/redo auto-deselects hidden actors and refreshes gizmo
- Proper cleanup of hidden actors when actions pruned from stack

Undo/Redo:
- Custom runtime UndoManager (UE transaction system is editor-only)
- Ctrl+Z / Ctrl+Y hotkeys, action stack with 50 history limit
- Records: gizmo translate/rotate/scale, snap to ground, UI edits
- Soft-delete on Delete key (hide actor, undo restores it)
- Gizmo follows restored position on undo/redo
UI:
- Properties panel (right side): editable Location/Rotation/Scale fields
- Real-time updates during gizmo drag, manual input with Enter to apply
- Toolbar: Translate(E)/Rotate(R)/Scale(T) buttons + Snap Ground
- Mode indicator in title bar, updated help text with all shortcuts
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
- End key snaps selected actors to ground (downward trace + bounds offset)
- Rotate/Scale now use screen-space mouse delta (X+Y combined) for intuitive control
- Accumulator-based drag for smooth incremental rotation and scaling
- Fixed rotation drag plane (perpendicular to axis instead of parallel)
- Movement: arrows + A (up) / Q (down), letter keys freed for hotkeys
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
- E/R/T hotkeys to switch Translate/Rotate/Scale modes
- Rotate: drag gizmo axis to rotate selection around that axis
- Scale: drag gizmo axis to scale selection on that axis
- Delete key to destroy selected actors
- Movement keys: arrows only + A (up) / Q (down)
- Removed ZQSD movement to free letter keys for hotkeys
