# Why
The custom `Tree` widget required manual `draw_*` calls for every visual
element (text, badges, borders, selection highlight). This approach was
fragile and produced rendering artifacts that were difficult to fix and
maintain across different editor themes.
# What
- Replaced the `Tree` node with a `VBoxContainer` (`hook_list`) populated
at runtime by duplicating a hidden `row_template` Panel
- Each row uses standard Godot controls: `ColorRect` (indicator bar),
`Label` (hook name), `PanelContainer`/`Label` (SYSTEM badge), and
`CheckButton` (enable toggle)
- Selection state is tracked via a `_selected_row` reference and a
`StyleBoxFlat` border overlay instead of `TreeItem` selection
- Move-up/down and delete operations now use `VBoxContainer.move_child()`
and `queue_free()` instead of `TreeItem` API
- Added `_update_focus_relations()` to wire keyboard navigation between rows
