1.3.0

NavMesh placement policy on SpawnEntry:
Require – spawn only when a valid NavMesh position exists (otherwise defer and retry).
Prefer – spawn immediately; agent enables when NavMesh becomes available.
Ignore – place without NavMesh restrictions.
Deferred placement queue in RuntimeSpawner for Require policy (with exponential backoff).
Spawn Hints system:
EnemySpawnHintPoint components act as authored spawn anchors with per-hint rules:
minPlayerDist, maxPlayerDist, denyLineOfSight, requireNavMesh, overrideAreaMask, tags.
SpawnHintSettings asset controls global behavior:
hintOnly, cellSize, waveSearchPadding, regionSearchPadding, globalSearchFraction, navSampleMaxDist, losBlockMask, reservationSeconds, preferScopedFirst, maxHintAttempts, ignoreGlobalMinDistance, debugLogs.
Spatial registry with soft reservations to avoid piling spawns on one hint.
Tag matching: WaveSpawnPoint.AnchorTags flow through to spawns so waves can target hints with matching tags first.

SpawnExecutor now honors NavMeshPlacementPolicy:
Uses NavMeshUtil.TryProject for Require; enqueues deferred jobs on failure.
Adds/uses NavMeshReadyEnabler for Prefer to enable agents when NavMesh is ready.
SpawnLocator integrates Spawn Hints:
Tries hints first (and respects hintOnly), then falls back to previous sampling logic.
Supports wave/region/global search radii and LOS checks.
Emits debug rays/logs when debugLogs is enabled in settings.

Newly created Spawn Hint Settings assets from the inspector are now auto-assigned to the spawner field (no manual drag required).
Added one-time warnings for misconfigured hints:
Hint MinPlayerDistance >= MaxPlayerDistance.
Global MinSpawnRange exceeds hint MaxPlayerDistance (unless ignoreGlobalMinDistance is enabled).

Enabling Hint Only means no spawn will occur unless a qualifying hint is found (by design).
If using global MinSpawnRange, ensure it doesn’t exceed your hints’ MaxPlayerDistance, or enable Ignore Global Min Distance in SpawnHintSettings.
