Summary

Adds a GameState.main_menu flag (default true, with a main_menu_changed signal) toggled on Escape from game.gd.
Embeds main_menu.tscn as a hidden overlay child of game.tscn, driven by that flag, so Quit (and the rest of the main menu) is reachable from the main game screen.
This is a deliberate stopgap for Esc>Menu>Quit muscle memory, not the in-game-specific menu described in the issue — that will be designed and built separately later.

Test plan

Verified headed: pressing Esc in-game shows the overlay (New Game/Options/Quit), pressing Esc again hides it, Quit closes the game.
Confirmed the overlay stays hidden on scene load and doesn't misfire in the editor — GameState.main_menu = false is gated behind not Engine.is_editor_hint(), since GameState isn't reliably available when game.gd runs as @tool in-editor.
No automated test coverage added — this is UI wiring, not covered by the existing GUT suite.

Closes #18

Add Esc-to-menu toggle in the game scene as a stopgap d31d63e766

Embeds main_menu.tscn as a hidden overlay in game.tscn, driven by a new
GameState.main_menu flag toggled on Escape, so there's a reachable Quit
button while in-game. This is a placeholder for muscle-memory
Esc>Menu>Quit and will be rewritten with a proper pause UI later.
