imgui_scope_verification — v1

Why this iteration: Lifted verbatim from conductor/product-guidelines.md §"Code Standards & Architecture" (line 39) + conductor/workflow.md §"Code Style" line 9. This is the baseline encoding — the imperative-bullet style currently in production. Future variants will test alternative encodings (rationale-first, tabular) against this baseline.

From conductor/product-guidelines.md §"Code Standards & Architecture":

• Mandatory ImGui Verification: All changes to the GUI (gui_2.py) MUST be verified using the custom AST linter (scripts/check_imgui_scopes.py) to ensure all ImGui scopes (begin/end, push/pop) are properly matched. Developers should prioritize the use of src/imgui_scopes.py context managers (imscope) over manual push/pop calls.

From conductor/workflow.md §"Code Style":

• ImGui Defer Patterns: Use imscope context managers or _render_window_if_open dispatch helpers to prevent resource leaks and keep the main loop flat. See conductor/code_styleguides/python.md for details.
