Use the effective surface material.
get_surface_override_material() only returns the node-local override. It omits a ShaderMaterial assigned directly to a Mesh surface. It also scans a local override when material_override is the effective material. This can miss real conflicts and show warnings for inactive materials.
Use get_active_material(i) here. It resolves global override, surface override, and mesh-surface material precedence. (github.com)
Proposed fix
- Ref<Material> mat = mesh_instance->get_surface_override_material(i);
+ Ref<Material> mat = mesh_instance->get_active_material(i);📝 Committable suggestion
‼️ IMPORTANT
Carefully review the code before committing. Ensure that it accurately replaces the highlighted code, contains no missing lines, and has no issues with indentation. Thoroughly test & benchmark the code to ensure it meets the requirements.

Filter SCOPE_INSTANCE from get_shader_uniform_list(). ShaderMaterial consumes this list and caches values through set_shader_parameter(), but update_uniform_buffer() skips instance uniforms. The exposed material property can therefore be a silent no-op. Use get_instance_param_list() for instance-uniform checks.

Keep instance_index out of PropertyInfo::hint_string.
For an instance int uniform with PROPERTY_HINT_ENUM, this code appends instance_index:N to the enum string. EditorPropertyEnum::setup() parses : as an explicit enum value. For N = 0, it merges instance_index into the value-0 label instead of treating it as metadata.
Store instance_index separately or remove it before the inspector consumes the PropertyInfo. Add a regression test for enum-hinted instance uniforms.
