Another day, another round of magical bug hunting and balance tuning!

This patch brings a number of critical fixes, improvements to pathfinding, visual upgrades, and quality-of-life enhancements — all while laying the groundwork for some surprises.

• Resolved issues with room placement above Exam Halls — you can't build directly over them anymore.
