Keep getting "'final_response' must be set" when testing Google Assistant

See original GitHub issue

I got through the Hello World tutorial just fine, and thought I’d give the AdventureGame one a try. I’m using Google Assistant only (not Alexa) and have everything set up (at least well enough for the HelloWorld example to work!) but now whenever I try to use the Google Assistant simulator, I just get the response “My test app isn’t responding right now. Try again soon.”

and error message (under Validation Errors):

'final_response' must be set

Am I missing something? I have set up my BlueDoorIntent and RedDoorIntent as instructed, have the NodeJS server up and running, ngrok proxy URL put into the Fulfillment section on DialogFlow, set Fulfillment to “use webhook” on each Intent, etc.
