Summary

Add editable fields to the entity properties panel so users can modify entity state (position, angles, etc.) from the viewer.

Context

The properties panel (#10, #31) currently displays entity data read-only. The next step is making fields editable so the viewer can send mutations back to the game server.

Requirements

Editable input fields for position, angles, and other mutable properties in the entity panel
Wire format / protocol message for sending entity mutations from client to server (ENT_SET_PROPERTY or similar)
Server-side Lua handler to apply received mutations to entities
Input validation on both client and server
Visual feedback when a property is being edited vs displaying live data (editing should pause live updates for that field)

Notes

Server-side protocol support doesn't exist yet — the client UI can be built first with the mutation messages defined but inert until the server implements the handler. Design the wire format before building blind.
