v0.0.628

Adjusted slime multiplication spawn behavior to originate at the multiplying slime.
Slime children now spawn around the parent slime position instead of sampling map SpawnArea regions.
Added nav-safe fallback around the parent slime when nearby sample points are blocked.

Fixed additional mid-wave enemy spawns appearing far from the player.
Event-system SpawnArea picks (bounty enemies and spawner adds) now use near-player filtering.
Slime multiplication SpawnArea picks now prefer player-near areas instead of random map-wide areas.
Spawn attempts still relax minimum distance after retries, but no longer start from distant SpawnAreas.

Fixed SpawnArea enemy spawns appearing on the far side of the map.
SpawnArea selection now prioritizes areas nearest the player before sampling a spawn point.
Wave-system SpawnArea picks now respect the configured player-near spawn radius band.
Spawn attempts relax minimum distance when needed, but no longer randomly choose distant SpawnAreas first.

Fixed water layer depth so water renders below world detail layers.
Reordered TMX draw layers so Water now renders immediately above Floor.
Applied the same layer-order fix to both gameplay rendering and menu-attract rendering.

Enemy spawning now originates from map-defined SpawnArea objects.
Wave, elite, boss, bounty, event spawner, flux surge, die powerup, and dev-spawned enemies now pick spawn points from SpawnArea.
Map collision rebuild/clear now refreshes and propagates SpawnArea data across enemy spawn systems.
Extended SpawnArea enforcement to special enemy generation.
Slime multiplication children now originate from SpawnArea.
Mending Totem mutator enemies now originate from SpawnArea.
Added clearer missing-map setup behavior.
If an active map has no SpawnArea objects, the game logs a warning and SpawnArea-required enemy spawns are skipped.

Fixed cave lava channels failing to render.
Corrected TMX layer draw order so Ground renders before Water/Lava.
Updated both gameplay rendering and menu-attract rendering paths to use the same corrected order.
Reduced over-bright indoor lighting and lava glare.
Added interior lighting config scales in data/lighting.json (interior.staticLightIntensityScale, interior.staticLightRadiusScale).
Applied interior-only static fire/light intensity and radius scaling when interior maps are active.

Added full interior travel links for the new maps.
Main.tmx doors now support ToPub, ToCave, ToChurch, and ToChurchOther.
Pub.tmx, Cave.tmx, and Church.tmx Exit doors return to Main.tmx.
Entering any linked interior now applies interior pause behavior until you return outside.
Added new cave collision behavior for lava channels.
Lava tiles in Cave.tmx now block movement like Water.
Bridge tiles still override water/lava blocking and allow traversal.
Added pub-specific day/night tile visibility.
Pub.tmx now renders only Day tiles during daytime and only Night tiles during nighttime.
Updated pub interactions for mercs and shopping.
Pub layer now prompts Press E to shop.
Pub shop now specializes in consumables only (potions and foods).
Merc interaction now comes from Pub.tmx Mercs objects, opening the merc UI for the specific merc you interact with.
Legacy all-in-one merc hiring interaction from static map tiles is no longer used.

Removed startup loading of deprecated legacy textures that are no longer used.
Stopped preloading old GUI bar sprites (healthbar, armorbar, energybar, dashbar).
Stopped preloading deprecated pickup textures (turretdeployable, chronoprism, phaseleech, stormcore).
Removed startup preloading of the legacy tradershop sprite; shopkeeper visuals still fall back safely when needed.
