# GAL-56: Score resource does not reset on game restart

The `restart_game_system` in `src/game_state.rs` only resets `RestartPressed` and transitions to `Playing`. It does not reset `Score`, `PlayerLives`, `CurrentStage`, or `FormationState` resources.

This means on subsequent games after the first, `Score` retains the previous game's final score. The Game Over screen shows the cumulative total ("Your Score") rather than the current game's score, and `check_high_score` (from GAL-53) compares against the accumulated score instead of the current game's score.

## Acceptance criteria

- [x] Restarting from `GameOver` resets `Score.value` to 0.
- [x] Restarting resets `PlayerLives.count` to starting value.
- [x] Restarting resets `CurrentStage.number` to 1.
- [x] Restarting resets `FormationState` to default.
- [x] Restarting despawns all `Enemy`, `Bullet`, `EnemyBullet`, `Explosion`, and `TractorBeam` entities.

## Code context

**`src/game_state.rs`** (restart system, current state):
```rust
pub fn restart_game_system(
    mut next_state: ResMut<NextState<AppState>>,
    mut restart: ResMut<RestartPressed>,
) {
    if restart.pressed {
        restart.pressed = false;
        next_state.set(AppState::Playing);
    }
}
```

No resource reset logic exists. The `cleanup_game_entities` system runs on `OnExit(Playing)` but does not reset resources.

## Comments

- 2026-05-09 — Status set to In Progress.
- 2026-05-09 — Branch `opencode/clever-wolf`, commit 933d23c — Score, lives, stage, and formation reset on restart; explosions despawned on cleanup

## Integration test hints

- Build `App`, transition to `Playing`, set `Score = 5000`, transition to `GameOver`, restart, assert `Score.value == 0`.
