 ## [Unreleased]
 
 ### Fixed
+- **Debug-Panel überlagert Nisse-Info-Panel** (Issue #41): F3-Debug-Panel weicht dynamisch aus — wenn das Nisse-Info-Panel offen ist, erscheint das Debug-Panel unterhalb davon statt darüber
 - **Stockpile-Overlay Transparenz** (Issue #39): `updateStaticPanelOpacity()` verwendete `setAlpha()` statt `setFillStyle()` — dadurch wurde die Opacity quadratisch statt linear angewendet; bei 100 % blieb das Panel sichtbar transparent
 - **Action Bar Transparenz** (Issue #40): Action Bar ignorierte `uiOpacity` komplett — Hintergrund war hardcoded auf 0.92; wird jetzt korrekt mit `uiOpacity` erstellt und per `updateStaticPanelOpacity()` live aktualisiert
