Add StcMenu (Star Trek Continuum menu system)

[viktor-ferenczi]

Registers StcMenu (STContinuum3/stc-launcher), the main menu integration for the Star Trek Continuum servers. It is a client plugin by Sargonnas.

Pinned commit: d17492abb397822e39d16137c93c146924425186, current main.

What it does

• Adds an STC Servers button next to New Game. Picking a server opens the vanilla Direct Connect screen with that server's address filled in.
• Replaces the menu background video and music. Enable custom video turns this off.
• Hides the news panel, DLC banners and Newsletter button. Hide menu news turns this off.

Manifest

• Source: the repository's own StcMenu.xml at the pinned commit, with two changes.
  • <Commit> is set to the pin.
  • The description is indented, and the comment about updating <Commit> is removed.
• Id: the author's GUID with RepoId is kept.
• SourceDirectories: ClientPlugin.
• Asset: AssetFolder, taken from the media-v1 release zip.
  • stc-menu-video-v1.zip is 13,012,155 bytes, and its SHA-256 matches the Sha256 in the manifest.
  • It holds one file, star_trek_background.wmv (720p WMV3).
  • The manifest sets Extract="true".
• NuGetReferences: none needed.
• Validation: python3 test.py Plugins passes.

Review

• Pre-registration review: done on the plugin repository. Findings were in Review: changes requested before PluginHub (video size, hard-coded servers) STContinuum3/stc-launcher#2 and Update FPSCounter.xml #3, and both are fixed in Address PluginHub review (#2, #3) STContinuum3/stc-launcher#4.
• Re-review of the pinned commit:
  • I read all 35 tracked paths, and no agent-detected blockers remain.
  • dotnet build (net10.0) finishes with 0 warnings and 0 errors, both with and without LOCAL_BUILD.
  • The Harmony targets and the injected fields match game 1.210.014.

Points for the approver

• Unpinned server list: servers.json is downloaded at launch from the plugin repository's main branch, so the server list can change without a hub PR.
  • It is data only. The entries are validated, and each one only fills in the Direct Connect screen when the player clicks it.
  • The built-in list is the fallback.
• Media licence: the README credits the footage to STC members and the soundtrack to siege3581. It says the media is distributed with permission and is not covered by the MIT licence.
• Tested OK: I did not run Pulsar's own from-source compile or an in-game load. The author reports in-game testing in Address PluginHub review (#2, #3) STContinuum3/stc-launcher#4. Viktor also tested it on Linux.
