Summary

Most user-facing features in this batch (the new navmesh pathfinding behavior and gameplay tests) were already documented by earlier automation runs, and the remaining commits are bug fixes and editor UX polish that don't warrant doc changes.

The one substantive behavior change was "Extend the 2D navmesh around obstacles" (#8993): the 2D walkable area now extends beyond the obstacles' bounding box, so characters can move around obstacles rather than only inside the rectangle containing them. I updated the navmesh pathfinding page to reflect this, replacing the now-outdated "can only move inside the rectangle that contains all of them" wording.

Please review the changes carefully before merging.
