- Added KINEMATIC_BLENDING_AND_RECOVERY.md to outline features for smooth transitions between kinematic and ragdoll states, including visual and physical blending, and ragdoll recovery.
- Introduced KINEMATIC_TO_RAGDOLL.md detailing the objectives, scope, and core architecture for transitioning the stickman from kinematic to ragdoll mode.
- Created KINEMATIC_TO_RAGDOLL_SPEC.md as an implementation specification, verifying codebase facts and correcting the initial plan based on Godot 4.4 source.
- Enhanced StickmanRig with state management for animated and ragdoll modes, including momentum preservation and ragdoll construction.
- Updated physics_test_harness to support toggling between kinematic and ragdoll states with user input.
- Added a new animation specification document for Phase 9 Task 5 detailing the requirements for rig animation controls.
- Introduced a new `StickmanRig` script to manage the facing direction and joint bending for the rig.
- Implemented UI elements in the test harness for selecting animations, controlling playback (play/pause/resume/stop), and toggling loop mode.
- Enhanced the `test_harness.gd` script to handle animation playback state and UI interactions.
- Updated documentation in `AGENTS.md`, `README.md`, and `RIGGING.md` to reflect the new animation features.
