Artist Render Optimizations

[mehulsinha73]

Description

Optimize agent artist rendering to avoid incorrect assumptions about agent movement paths, Extension of #78 .

Proposed Changes

The agent renderer assumes that when an agent moved from node u to node v, it always traversed the edge linestring connecting them. However, agents can teleport between nodes due to specific game rules, making this assumption invalid.

Changes to implement neighbor-aware edge detection and zoom-based rendering strategy:

• Neighbor Check: Verify that target node v is a neighbor of previous node u before attempting to use the edge's linestring for interpolation.
• Fallback: If no valid edge exists (or nodes aren't neighbors), fall back to straight-line interpolation between node positions.
• Zoom-Based Optimization: Reusing pixel-threshold heuristics from graph rendering to decide whether to:
  • Use full linestring interpolation (zoomed in)
  • Use cheap straight-line interpolation (zoomed out or sub-pixel movement)
