Replace stale Level 17 Tab-based overlay cycle tests with the approved non-Tab input.

PR Details:
- Updates affected Level 17 tests that still use makeInput(['Tab'])
- Keeps scope test-only and aligned to current overlay cycle behavior
- Confirms Level 17 debug overlay checks no longer validate browser-reserved Tab input

+Requirements:
+- Find Level 17 tests that still use `makeInput(['Tab'])` for debug overlay cycling
+- Replace each stale Tab-based test input with the active non-Tab cycle key already used by the current Level 17 runtime behavior
+- Keep scope limited to affected Level 17 tests and the smallest supporting test helper change if required
+- Do not change runtime keybinding code
+- Do not change overlay positioning or sample stack mapping
+- Do not modify start_of_day folders

-Change target:
-- Follow-up to the prior bottom-right overlay work.
+Summary:
+This PR fixes stale Level 17 test inputs that still simulate Tab for debug overlay cycling.
+The runtime behavior has already moved away from Tab, so the tests must be remapped to the current non-Tab cycle key to keep automated validation accurate.
 
-Why this PR exists:
-- The current touched runtime still uses Tab in the overlay-cycle path.
-- Browser Tab behavior conflicts with deterministic in-sample cycling.
-- The user supplied exact sample-specific panel sets for 1708-1713.
-
-What Codex should deliver:
-- One replacement overlay-cycle key across the touched samples.
-- Bottom-right stack retention.
-- Exact cycle maps per sample.
-- Runtime tests that prove both key behavior and panel order/placement.
+Change Boundary:
+- Test-only
+- Level 17 only
+- No runtime/input-system behavior changes

+# BUILD_PR_LEVEL_17_56_DEBUG_OVERLAY_TEST_INPUT_KEY_REMAP
 
 ## Purpose
-Normalize overlay stacks for samples 1708 and 1710 with consistent bottom-right placement and correct cycling order.
+Replace stale Level 17 test inputs that still simulate `Tab` for debug overlay cycling so the automated checks validate the current non-Tab interaction contract.
 
 ## Scope
-- Samples: 1708, 1710
-- Stack:
-  - UI Layer
-  - Mission Feed
-  - <...ADY>
-  - Mini-Game Runtime
-- Bottom-right anchor
-- Non-Tab cycle key validation
+This PR is limited to Level 17 test coverage and test helpers that still encode the old cycle key.
+
+Included:
+- Update Level 17 tests that currently use `makeInput(['Tab'])`
+- Align those tests to the active non-Tab overlay cycle key already established by the runtime-facing PRs
+- Verify no Level 17 debug overlay tests continue to require browser-reserved Tab behavior
+
+Excluded:
+- Runtime keybinding changes
+- Overlay layout changes
+- Sample stack mapping changes
+- Non-Level-17 test cleanup
+
+## Implementation Notes
+- Use the already-approved replacement cycle key from the current Level 17 overlay work
+- Prefer shared test constants/helpers if they already exist; otherwise introduce the smallest local test-safe normalization needed
+- Do not broaden this into a repo-wide input cleanup
+- Do not modify `start_of_day` content
 
 ## Test Steps
-1. Load 1708 and 1710
-2. Verify bottom-right placement
-3. Cycle overlays → confirm order
-4. Confirm Mini-Game Runtime visibility
+1. Search Level 17 tests for `makeInput(['Tab'])`
+2. Replace each stale input with the approved non-Tab cycle key
+3. Run the affected Level 17 test files
+4. Confirm overlay cycle assertions still pass under the new input
+5. Confirm no remaining Level 17 tests reference `Tab` for overlay cycling
 
-## Expected
-- Identical stack behavior across both samples
-- Stable cycling
-- No Tab usage
+## Expected Result
+- Level 17 tests validate the current non-Tab overlay cycle behavior
+- No stale `makeInput(['Tab'])` calls remain in the affected Level 17 test surface
+- The change stays test-only and does not alter runtime behavior
