Fix AnimatedTexture doesn't work with AtlasTexture

[DaveTheEggman]

Closes #1129
Related Godot issue godotengine/godot#30295

Fixes an issue where AnimatedTexture couldn't correctly display AtlasTexture frames. AnimatedTexture previously updated its rendering proxy using the RID returned by each frame texture. This works for regular textures, but AtlasTexture needs its custom drawing methods to preserve the configured region. This change makes AnimatedTexture forward its drawing methods to the currently active frame texture, allowing AtlasTexture to handle its region correctly. It also emits change notifications when the displayed frame changes so consumers such as TextureRect are updated correctly.

Changes

• Forward draw(), draw_rect() & draw_rect_region() to the current frame texture.
• Emit change notifications when the current frame changes.
• Emit change notifications when the current frame's texture is replaced.
• Remove the outdated documentation note stating that AnimatedTexture does not support AtlasTexture.

Summary by CodeRabbit

• New Features
  • Animated textures support drawing frames backed by atlas textures through the standard texture drawing API. Direct RID use may not preserve the atlas region.
• Bug Fixes
  • Animated textures now draw using the currently selected frame when a valid texture is available.
  • Changing the selected frame or its texture updates the animation only when the selection or texture actually changes, avoiding unnecessary resets and notifications.
  • Frame changes are reported after internal reads are complete.

Walkthrough

AnimatedTexture now emits change notifications for frame updates and current-frame texture changes. Its drawing overrides delegate to the current frame texture. The documentation describes AtlasTexture support through the Texture2D drawing API and notes a limitation for direct RID use.

Changes

AnimatedTexture behavior

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Frame updates and change signals scene/resources/animated_texture.cpp, doc/classes/AnimatedTexture.xml	Frame advancement and changes to the current-frame texture emit notifications after the lock is released. Selecting the current frame resets elapsed time without emitting a notification. The documentation describes AtlasTexture support through the Texture2D drawing API and warns that direct RID use may not preserve the atlas region.
Current-frame drawing scene/resources/animated_texture.h, scene/resources/animated_texture.cpp	AnimatedTexture adds draw, draw_rect, and draw_rect_region overrides. Each copies the current frame texture under a read lock, then delegates drawing when the texture is valid.

Merge Risk: ⚪ Minimal · up to 8937b

AtlasTexture frames are supported through the Texture2D drawing API. Direct RID rendering remains a documented limitation; no further fix is indicated before merge.

Security Architecture Review

Security architecture risk: 🔵 Low · up to b7d72

The change stays within texture rendering, but circular frame references can now cause unbounded rectangle-drawing recursion. The supported impact is failure of the hosting application or editor process; an untrusted-input attack route has not been established.

Retained concerns

• Low · reliability · inferred: Indirect frame cycles can escape rectangle-drawing failure containment. With texture A selecting B and B selecting A, the direct self-reference checks accept both assignments, but the new draw_rect and draw_rect_region delegation does not terminate. This adds a process-failure path for consumers that previously used RID-based rectangle drawing without recursive size queries. Existing getters already have cycle sensitivity; hostile serialized-input reachability remains unproven.

Security review details

Security Blast Radius

• inferred — The supported cycle-failure scope is the process rendering the affected texture graph. Exercising it requires influence over frame-resource relationships and a consumer reaching delegated drawing; broader tenant, service, or credential exposure was not established.

Security Findings and Attack Paths

• inferred — A mutually referring active-frame graph can repeatedly invoke rectangle drawing until stack exhaustion. This is a source-supported failure path, not a verified external attack: ordinary loading constraints and the application's resource trust policy remain decisive.

Trust Boundaries and Controls

• observed — The inspected CanvasItem entrypoints retain thread, drawing-context, and non-null texture guards. Delegation forwards the existing canvas RID and drawing arguments rather than introducing a separate privileged operation.

Resilience and Maintainability Implications

• inferred — Lock release before notifications avoids lock-held callback reentrancy in the changed transition paths. This does not establish ordering between concurrent notifications or exclusive serialization of automatic frame advancement.

Hardening Proposals

• proposed — Consider transitive cycle rejection or bounded delegation so invalid frame graphs fail locally instead of exhausting the hosting process's stack.

Review comments at @scene/resources/animated_texture.cpp:
- Around line 174-175: Update the frame texture handling around
`frames[p_frame].texture` to connect and disconnect each frame texture’s
`changed` signal as references are replaced, and forward that signal only when
the changed texture belongs to `current_frame`. Preserve notification when the
current frame reference itself changes.
- Around line 128-130: Update the same-frame branch in the frame-setting method
so a valid request for the current frame resets time to zero before returning.
Preserve the existing behavior of not emitting changed for that no-op frame
change.
- Line 101: In AnimatedTexture’s frame update, texture_proxy_update forwards the
current frame’s RID, which is the full atlas RID for an AtlasTexture. Preserve
the documented AtlasTexture limitation unless RID-based use is explicitly in
scope; if it is, make the proxy represent the selected atlas region rather than
forwarding the underlying atlas RID.
