## 2026-10-26: t44: rename screw tubes to screw conveyors (Codex)

constants, direction tables, transport helpers, shader variable, build icons and settings
|
||||

|
||||
- Updated affected files across src/sim, src/render, src/ui, test and tools, plus README,
|
||||
AGENTS and current DESIGN/TESTING/system docs. Regenerated PROJECT_MAP and built dist.
|
||||
Renamed test/t_diag_tubes.js to test/t_diag_screws.js with git mv; no scene filename needed
|
||||
renaming. Past log entries, docs/history and task title/Context preserved.
