TargetInformer

Display UI for showing information about objects being targeted, manipulated, or built

TargetInformer provides a dynamic UI component that displays object information based on the current game state. It responds to three different contexts with clear priority:

Priority System:
1. Manipulation (Highest Priority): Shows info for actively manipulated objects
2. Building: Shows info for building preview objects
3. Targeting (Lowest Priority): Shows info for hovered/targeted objects

Signal Flow:
- GridTargetingState.target_changed → Updates display on hover
- ManipulationState.active_target_node_changed → Overrides targeting info
- PlacementState.preview_changed → Shows building preview info

Usage:
var informer = TargetInformer.new() add_child(informer) informer.resolve_placement_dependencies(session) # Now responds automatically to targeting/manipulation/building changes
Override _to_string() on displayed object nodes to show custom names
