Add REQ-BLD-COPY-CONFIG-FEEDBACK: visual feedback for copy-settings

Browse Source 
Specify the on-screen feedback for the Shift copy-settings gesture: a
same-type eligible-target tint shown while a configuration is cached, plus
a brief selection-style outline flash on both copy (source) and paste
(target). All three cues share one configurable color
(visuals.toml [overlays].copy_config); flashes are 0.3 s wall-clock so they
play while paused and independently per building. Pure rendering, no sim
state. Cross-referenced from REQ-BLD-COPY-CONFIG.

Clicking a building that cannot be demolished (the HQ or a player defence station, per REQ-BLD-DEMOLISH), or clicking empty world space, has no effect. Demolish mode stays active after a demolition so the player can demolish further buildings without re-entering the mode; it is exited via the Q toggle (REQ-UI-HOTKEYS) or the Demolish button (REQ-UI-DEMOLISH-BUTTON). - REQ-BLD-DEMOLISH-CLICK: While in demolish mode (REQ-UI-HOTKEYS, REQ-UI-DEMOLISH-BUTTON), left-clicking a placed factory building or construction site in the game world demolishes it, following the refund rules of REQ-BLD-DEMOLISH — the partial refund for built buildings and the full refund for still-queued construction sites.

- REQ-BLD-DEMOLISH-BOX: While in demolish mode (REQ-UI-HOTKEYS, REQ-UI-DEMOLISH-BUTTON), the player can click and drag a selection box in the game world. A selection rectangle is drawn while dragging, using the same box-drag gesture and coverage semantics as the multi-select box (REQ-UI-MULTI-SELECT). On mouse up, every placed factory building and construction site covered by the box is demolished, each following the refund rules of REQ-BLD-DEMOLISH — the partial refund for built buildings and the full refund for still-queued construction sites. Buildings that cannot be demolished (the HQ and player defence stations, per REQ-BLD-DEMOLISH) are excluded from the box demolition; ships and defence stations are never affected. - REQ-BLD-DEMOLISH-BOX: While in demolish mode (REQ-UI-HOTKEYS, REQ-UI-DEMOLISH-BUTTON), the player can click and drag a selection box in the game world.

- REQ-BLD-SITE-CONFIG: A construction site — a building that has been placed but is still queued or under construction (REQ-BLD-QUEUE) — can be selected and configured exactly like the equivalent operational building, before it finishes building. Whatever configuration the building type supports is available on the site: the recipe for a Miner or Assembler (REQ-UI-SELECT-BUTTON), the produced-ship schematic and its module layout for a Shipyard (REQ-UI-SELECT-BUTTON, REQ-MOD-UI-PREVIEW, REQ-MOD-UI-DIALOG), and the output filters for a Splitter (REQ-BLD-SPLITTER) — all set through the same Selected Building Panel controls (REQ-UI-CONFIG-INLINE). Only currently unlocked recipes and schematics are offered, exactly as for operational buildings (REQ-LOCK-UI-RECIPE, REQ-LOCK-UI-SCHEMATIC, REQ-LOCK-UI-SPLITTER). The configuration is stored on the construction site and carries over unchanged when construction completes, so the building becomes operational already configured. A construction site has no input/output buffers and runs no production cycle, so the buffer and production-progress portions of the panel (REQ-UI-SINGLE-SELECTION, REQ-UI-PRODUCTION-PROGRESS) are not shown for it; only its construction progress (REQ-UI-CONSTRUCTION-PROGRESS) and its configuration controls appear. (Blueprint placement already applies a stored recipe or schematic to a construction site on placement per REQ-UI-BLUEPRINT-PLACE; this requirement additionally lets the player set or change that configuration directly on an existing site.) - REQ-BLD-SITE-CONFIG: A construction site — a building that has been placed but is still queued or under construction (REQ-BLD-QUEUE) — can be selected and configured exactly like the equivalent operational building, before it finishes building.

- REQ-BLD-COPY-CONFIG: **Copy building settings (hold Shift).** While the Shift key is held, the player can copy one building's settings onto other buildings of the same type, so several identical machines can be set up without opening each one's panel. This gesture is available only in the default selection mode; while a builder, blueprint placement, or demolish mode is active it is disabled, so it never clashes with placement or demolition clicks. - REQ-BLD-COPY-CONFIG: **Copy building settings (hold Shift).** While the Shift key is held, the player can copy one building's settings onto other buildings of the same type, so several identical machines can be set up without opening each one's panel.

- **Shift + right-click** a building copies its current settings into a temporary cache, along with the building's type. The settings copied are whatever that building type supports: the selected recipe (Miner, Assembler), the selected schematic together with its module layout (Shipyard), or the two output filters (Splitter, REQ-BLD-SPLITTER). Copying succeeds only when there is something to copy — a Miner or Assembler with a recipe selected, a Shipyard with a schematic selected, or any Splitter (whose output filters, even when empty/accept-all, always constitute valid settings). Shift + right-clicking a configurable building with nothing yet selected, a building type that has no settings at all (Smelter, Reprocessing Plant, Salvage Bay, belt/tunnel tiles, the HQ), or empty world space, has no effect and leaves any existing cache unchanged. - **Shift + right-click** a building copies its current settings into a temporary cache, along with the building's type.

- **Shift + left-click** a building of the **same type** as the cached one applies the cached settings to it, exactly as if the player had made that selection through the selected building panel — with the same effects as a normal selection change (buffer clearing per REQ-MAT-INPUT-BUFFER and REQ-MAT-OUTPUT-BUFFER, and, for a Shipyard, in-progress cycle cancellation per REQ-BLD-SHIPYARD). This can be repeated on any number of same-type buildings while Shift stays held. Shift + left-clicking a building of a different type than the cached one, any building while the cache is empty, or empty world space, has no effect. - **Shift + left-click** a building of the **same type** as the cached one applies the cached settings to it, exactly as if the player had made that selection through the selected building panel — with the same effects as a normal selection change (buffer clearing per REQ-MAT-INPUT-BUFFER and REQ-MAT-OUTPUT-BUFFER, and, for a Shipyard, in-progress cycle cancellation per REQ-BLD-SHIPYARD).

- Because the cached settings were already valid on a same-type source building, they remain valid and available on the target (a selected recipe/schematic stays unlocked per REQ-LOCK-UI-RECIPE and REQ-LOCK-UI-SCHEMATIC; splitter filter item types stay unlocked per REQ-LOCK-UI-SPLITTER). - Because the cached settings were already valid on a same-type source building, they remain valid and available on the target (a selected recipe/schematic stays unlocked per REQ-LOCK-UI-RECIPE and REQ-LOCK-UI-SCHEMATIC; splitter filter item types stay unlocked per REQ-LOCK-UI-SPLITTER).
- REQ-BLD-COPY-CONFIG-FEEDBACK: **Copy-settings visual feedback.** The copy-settings gesture (REQ-BLD-COPY-CONFIG) is indicated in the game world with a single configurable color read from `visuals.toml [overlays].copy_config`. All three cues below use that same color; no cursor or text label is shown.
- **Eligible-target tint.** While the temporary cache holds a copied configuration (i.e. after a successful copy and until the cache is cleared on Shift release, per REQ-BLD-COPY-CONFIG), every operational building and construction site of the **same type** as the cached one — the buildings a Shift + left-click could apply the settings to — is tinted by drawing the copy-settings color as a semi-transparent fill over its footprint. The tint appears the moment a configuration is copied and disappears the moment the cache is cleared, so it is shown only while a paste is actually possible. The source building the settings were copied from is itself an eligible target and is tinted like the rest.
- **Copy flash.** When a configuration is copied (Shift + right-click, REQ-BLD-COPY-CONFIG), an outline is briefly flashed around the source building's footprint — rendered like the outline that marks a currently-selected building, but in the copy-settings color rather than the selection color.
- **Paste flash.** When a configuration is applied to a building (Shift + left-click, REQ-BLD-COPY-CONFIG), the same outline flash is drawn around the target building's footprint in the copy-settings color.
- Each flash lasts 0.3 seconds of real (wall-clock) time and then fades. The flash duration is wall-clock, not game time, so it plays at a consistent length regardless of the current game speed and still plays while the game is paused (0×). Flashes are independent per building, so rapidly pasting onto several buildings flashes each one separately.
- The eligible-target tint and both flashes are pure rendering effects with no simulation state; they never affect placement, selection, the current selection highlight, or the simulation.
