Three fixes, all from watching it run.
Cars stuck against buildings. routeTo dropped the node a route starts from,
which is fine for a unit standing on it and wrong for anything re-routing from
mid-segment: its first leg became a straight line to a node two hops away,
across buildings and open country. Routes now include their start node so a unit
rejoins the road before setting off.
No patrols anywhere. They only existed as a reaction to the player's own tracks,
so hostile territory was empty until you had personally made a road notorious.
Enemy ground now carries standing patrols by how dangerous it is — none behind
your lines, five on the frontier — spawned onto their roads so the territory has
them the moment you arrive.
This surfaced a second bug: dispatched units were culled at 546m from the player
while dispatch origins reached 600m, so a patrol or engineer could be deleted on
its first step and simply never turn up. Anything with an assignment is now kept
regardless of range; its expiry still bounds it.
Barricades appearing instantly. Crossing a heat threshold placed concrete on the
road with nobody involved. Construction is now staged: an engineer is dispatched
for the barricade, another for the tower, and heatProps is driven by finished
builds rather than by heat levels. It still refuses to close a slab around a car
parked in the gap.
