Description
`DiagnosticOverlay`s with missing `DiagnosticOverlayItem`s show up as "Missing"; maybe it makes sense to hide these entirely? It would mean that removing diagnostics from the engine automatically declutters the diagnostics overlay.

Contributor guide
Research direction
Start by locating the DiagnosticOverlay and DiagnosticOverlayItem definitions and tracing how missing items are rendered as "Missing". Check nearby overlay tests or rendering entry points if present. Done means missing diagnostics are omitted from the overlay so removing them from the engine declutters the display.
