   Resolution:
   The HUD must be added as scene.camera?.addChild(hud) because SKCameraNode children render relative to the camera's viewport rather than the scene's world coordinates. If the HUD were added directly to the scene, it would physically pan away off-screen whenever the camera moves to follow a projectile or preview a player. Making it a child of the camera ensures it stays perfectly glued to the screen.
