v0.0.652

Improved Dragon flying readability and landing safety.
Airborne Dragon is now rendered in a post-front overlay pass, so it always appears above Front / AlwaysFront TMX layers while flying.
Added filtered entity render passes to support excluding/including airborne Dragon around front-layer rendering.
Fixed Dragon flight end-state landing behavior.
Dragon no longer ends flight on blocked/non-pathable ground tiles.
If flight would end over blocked ground, Dragon continues flying toward the nearest open nav tile and lands there.

Fixed Dragon flyover traversal reliability while airborne.
Added an explicit Dragon airborne runtime flag and synced it from Dragon special-state transitions.
Flyover traversal and airborne mitigation now use the shared airborne flag path.
Airborne Dragon now also bypasses solid-collider resolution passes so Flyover routes are not re-blocked by ground-only collision handling.
Added Dragon airborne-state regression coverage.
dragon_immunity_tests now validates airborne-flag flight detection and 50% airborne mitigation.

Added Dragon airborne damage reduction and flyover terrain support.
Dragon now takes 50% less incoming damage while in aerial states (Launch, Hover, Fly) across RPG and non-RPG damage paths.
Added TMX tile property support for Flyover, allowing Dragon to traverse tagged blocked tiles while airborne.
Airborne Dragon now skips navmesh clamping so Flyover traversal is preserved during movement/collision resolution.
Added regression checks for new Dragon/TMX behavior.
dragon_immunity_tests now verifies flying-state damage multiplier behavior.
tmx_tests now verifies Flyover tile properties are parsed from Main.tmx.

Expanded Dragon boss immunity to include poison damage and poison-style DoTs.
Dragon now blocks incoming RPG Poison damage in the shared combat immunity resolver.
Dragon now rejects poison DoT application from rune poison trail, support poison strikes, and hero on-hit poison affixes.
Dragon wizard-element immunity now also rejects Earth elemental secondary effects (poison/earth DoT channel).
Hardened Dragon DoT cleanup to cover all lightweight DoT channels.
Dragon now purges bleed, poison, and burn from DamageOverTime each tick.
Dragon now purges earth DoT from StatusEffects each tick.
Added Dragon immunity regression coverage updates.
dragon_immunity_tests now verifies Poison damage is blocked on Dragon while Physical damage is still allowed.

Finalized Dragon burn immunity for Jade fire abilities.
Dragon now rejects Cauterize status applications (fire regen-block debuff) in addition to burn timers/DoTs.
Dragon status cleanup now purges any lingering burn-tagged debuffs each AI tick.

Hardened Dragon boss burn immunity to be absolute.
Added per-tick Dragon burn-state purge for both DamageOverTime and StatusEffects burn channels.
Dragon fire DoT visual state now clears immediately when present.

Added Dragon boss immunity to Fire and key crowd-control lockouts.
Dragon now ignores Fire damage and Burn application across projectile hits, DoT ticks, and on-hit affixes.
Dragon now rejects blind and other crowd-control status applications that would control-lock boss behavior.
Updated Freeze behavior so Dragon remains active during Freeze time-stop.
Non-Dragon enemies still freeze as before.
Dragon movement/AI/special logic now continues while Freeze is active.
Added Dragon immunity regression coverage.
New test target: dragon_immunity_tests.

Rebalanced music track loudness for a safer baseline mix.
Reduced all files in assets/Audio/Music/ by roughly -15 dB.
Updated tracks: MainMenu.mp3, GameMusic.mp3, BossMusic.mp3, DeathScreen.mp3.
