f2a5dee5f6 feat(Core/RPG): Dispatch full waypoint chain + lastPath reuse + off-mmap recovery
MoveFar:mmap dispatches the full chained-probe waypoint vector via
MotionMaster::MoveSplinePath instead of handing a single endpoint
to MoveTo. Removes the motion master's discretion to take a
straight-line shortcut between intermediate points (the diagonal-
through-air bug). Per-waypoint UpdateAllowedPositionZ and vmap
LoS pruning between consecutive waypoints catch geometry-crossing
pairs.

Off-mmap recovery: when the bot's start position has no mmap
polygon (PATHFIND_FARFROMPOLY_START), snap Z via vmap raycast and
NearTeleport so the next tick runs from a valid position.

LastMovement.lastPath populated after every dispatch
(LaunchWalkSpline + new mmap dispatch) so the 10% reuse and
no-worse reuse checks at the top of MoveFarTo can fire — both
gated on a 10y guard so a finished path isn't reused.

MoveFar:spline fallback uses exact_waypoint=false so MoveTo's
SearchForBestPath produces a terrain-following spline.

8a5df83f4f feat(Core/RPG): Refactor MoveFarTo decision tree (single 75y gate + chained probe)
Single 75y long-path gate, 40-step chained mmap probe via
WorldPosition::getPathFromPath, spellDistance shortcut to skip the
node graph when mmap can reach the destination, single-waypoint
spline fallback when both fail. MoveWorldObjectTo delegates to
MoveFarTo so quest approaches use the same routing hierarchy.
Removes the stuck-counter teleport recovery from MoveFarTo; the
UnstuckAction layer (planned) is the eventual safety net. Chain
probe fix included: getPathStepFrom uses the explicit-start
CalculatePath overload so each chain step actually advances from
the previous endpoint instead of restarting from the bot's real
position.

Clean up unused variables (#2268)
<!--
Thank you for contributing to mod-playerbots, please make sure that
you...
1. Submit your PR to the test-staging branch, not master.
2. Read the guidelines below before submitting.
3. Don't delete parts of this template.

DESIGN PHILOSOPHY: We prioritize STABILITY, PERFORMANCE, AND
PREDICTABILITY over behavioral realism.

Every action and decision executes PER BOT AND PER TRIGGER. Small
increases in logic complexity scale
poorly across thousands of bots and negatively affect all. We prioritize
a stable system over a smarter
one. Bots don't need to behave perfectly; believable behavior is the
goal, not human simulation.
Default behavior must be cheap in processing; expensive behavior must be
opt-in.

Before submitting, make sure your changes aligns with these principles.

Fix/Defensive: Prevent division by zero in MovementActions (#2185)
Added a check to prevent division by zero for orphaned raid groups.

# Pull Request

If a bots somehow ends up alone in a raid group, this can divide by zero
and freeze the server.

---

## Design Philosophy

We prioritize **stability, performance, and predictability** over
behavioral realism.
Complex player-mimicking logic is intentionally limited due to its
negative impact on scalability, maintainability, and
long-term robustness.

Excessive processing overhead can lead to server hiccups, increased CPU
usage, and degraded performance for all
participants. Because every action and
decision tree is executed **per bot and per trigger**, even small
increases in logic complexity can scale poorly and
negatively affect both players and
world (random) bots. Bots are not expected to behave perfectly, and
perfect simulation of human decision-making is not a
project goal. Increased behavioral
realism often introduces disproportionate cost, reduced predictability,
and significantly higher maintenance overhead.

Every additional branch of logic increases long-term responsibility. All
decision paths must be tested, validated, and
maintained continuously as the system evolves.
If advanced or AI-intensive behavior is introduced, the **default
configuration must remain the lightweight decision
model**. More complex behavior should only be
available as an **explicit opt-in option**, clearly documented as having
a measurable performance cost.

Principles:

- **Stability before intelligence**  
  A stable system is always preferred over a smarter one.

- **Performance is a shared resource**  
  Any increase in bot cost affects all players and all bots.

- **Simple logic scales better than smart logic**  
Predictable behavior under load is more valuable than perfect decisions.

- **Complexity must justify itself**  
  If a feature cannot clearly explain its cost, it should not exist.

- **Defaults must be cheap**  
  Expensive behavior must always be optional and clearly communicated.

- **Bots should look reasonable, not perfect**  
  The goal is believable behavior, not human simulation.

Before submitting, confirm that this change aligns with those
principles.

## Feature Evaluation

Please answer the following:

- Describe the **minimum logic** required to achieve the intended
behavior?

result?

bots?

This is the simplest and cheapest way to implement this fix.

Flying, waterwalking, swimming movement optimizations and transition fixes. (#2134)
# Pull Request

**Fixes and optimizations for flying, water walking, swimming**:
* optimized triggers
* ensuring movement flag updates only happen between actual transitions
states
* fly bug fix; fly with bots following with stay command midair, fly
down and dismount yourself, follow command and now the bots fall instead
of lingering around in the air)
* updated z-axes correction for water walking and bots (for real players
this is handled client-side)
* added lift off movement for more stabile transition from ground(level)
to flying

**Tested**:
* Test all transitions; water walk, swimming, swimming, walking,
mounting while water walking etc.
* Flying with bots and fly master routes
* Movement flag updates only occur during transitions

**Known issues**: transition between water walking, swimming and back
again, in most cases the bots will stay under the waterline instead of
jumping on the z axes on water level. (will fix that another time)

Stage1 refactor world position method names (#2126)
# Pull Request

This change replaces the non‑standard
WorldPosition::getX/getY/getZ/getO/getMapId wrappers with the core
getters (GetPositionX/Y/Z, GetOrientation, GetMapId) and removes the
redundant wrappers.
Goal: align the module with AzerothCore conventions, reduce local
adapters, and improve long‑term maintainability.

---

## Design Philosophy

This is a structural cleanup only (coordinate access) and does not alter
any AI behavior or decision logic.
It follows the stability/performance-first philosophy and does not add
branches or extra runtime work.

Before submitting: yes, this change aligns with the principles of
stability, performance, and predictability.

Principles:

- **Stability before intelligence**  
  A stable system is always preferred over a smarter one.

- **Performance is a shared resource**  
  Any increase in bot cost affects all players and all bots.

- **Simple logic scales better than smart logic**  
Predictable behavior under load is more valuable than perfect decisions.

- **Complexity must justify itself**  
  If a feature cannot clearly explain its cost, it should not exist.

- **Defaults must be cheap**  
  Expensive behavior must always be optional and clearly communicated.

- **Bots should look reasonable, not perfect**  
  The goal is believable behavior, not human simulation.

Before submitting, confirm that this change aligns with those
principles.

## Feature Evaluation

Please answer the following:

- Minimum logic required: use core getters (GetPositionX/Y/Z, GetMapId,
GetOrientation) wherever coordinates are needed.
- Cheapest implementation: direct call replacement and removal of
redundant wrappers.
- Runtime cost: negligible (same data access, no additional logic).

---

## How to Test the Changes

- No functional testing required (behavior‑neutral refactor).
- Recommended: compile the module and run a normal server startup as
validation.

## Complexity & Impact

Does this change add new decision branches?
- - [x] No
- - [x] Yes (**explain below**)

Does this change increase per-bot or per-tick processing?
- - [x] No
- - [ ] Yes (**describe and justify impact**)

Could this logic scale poorly under load?
- - [x] No
- - [ ] Yes (**explain why**)
---

## Defaults & Configuration

Does this change modify default bot behavior?
- - [x] No
- - [ ] Yes (**explain why**)

If this introduces more advanced or AI-heavy logic:
- - [x] Lightweight mode remains the default
- - [x] More complex behavior is optional and thereby configurable
