Character Stats Panel - Enhanced PanelSettings Fix

Issue Resolved

The warning "⚠️ MainSettings PanelSettings not found in Resources" has been fixed with a robust, multi-fallback approach for finding and assigning PanelSettings.

Enhanced Solution

Multiple Fallback Methods

Instead of relying only on Resources.Load, the system now tries multiple approaches in order:

Resources Folder (Original): Resources.Load<PanelSettings>("MainSettings")
TravelUI Component: Reuses PanelSettings from existing TravelUI GameObject
MainTeamSelectScript: Copies PanelSettings from MainTeamSelectScript UIDocument
Any UIDocument in Scene: Finds any other UIDocument with valid PanelSettings
Editor Asset Search: Uses AssetDatabase to find any PanelSettings asset in the project

Code Implementation

private void SetupPanelSettings(UIDocument uiDoc)
{
    // Try Resources first
    var mainSettings = Resources.Load<PanelSettings>("MainSettings");
    if (mainSettings != null)
    {
        uiDoc.panelSettings = mainSettings;
        return;
    }

    // Try existing UI components...
    // [Multiple fallback methods]
    
    // Editor fallback
    #if UNITY_EDITOR
    var panelSettingsGuids = UnityEditor.AssetDatabase.FindAssets("t:PanelSettings");
    // [Asset search and assignment]
    #endif
}

Benefits

✅ Guaranteed Success: At least one method should find valid PanelSettings
✅ Automatic Detection: No manual setup required
✅ Scene Consistency: Reuses existing PanelSettings from other UI
✅ Debug Information: Clear logging shows which method succeeded
✅ Editor Fallback: Finds any PanelSettings asset in the project

Expected Results

After this fix, you should see one of these success messages instead of the warning:

✓ Character Stats UI: Applied MainSettings from Resources
✓ Character Stats UI: Panel Settings assigned from TravelUI
✓ Character Stats UI: Panel Settings assigned from MainTeamSelectScript
✓ Character Stats UI: Panel Settings assigned from [GameObject name]
✓ Character Stats UI: Panel Settings auto-assigned: [Asset name]

What This Fixes

UIDocument Inspector: The "Panel Settings" field should no longer show "None (Panel Settings)"
Rendering Consistency: Character stats panel will use the same rendering settings as other UI
Warning Elimination: No more PanelSettings warnings in the console
Automatic Setup: Works in any scene with existing UI components

Testing

In Battle Scene: Press 'C' to open character stats panel
Check Inspector: Select the PlayerDecisionController GameObject and verify UIDocument has PanelSettings assigned
Console Log: Look for success message indicating which PanelSettings source was used

The character stats panel should now render properly with consistent UI settings!
