EntityBehavior no longer holds a direct DijkstraMap reference. A new
PathProvider interface has three concrete implementations:
- DijkstraProvider: steps along a (possibly inverted) DijkstraMap. SEEK
descends a normal map toward roots; FLEE descends an inverted map away
from threats.
- AStarProvider: follows a pre-computed AStarPath step-by-step.
- TargetProvider: takes a single (x, y) target and picks the Chebyshev
neighbor closest to it each turn.
Entity.set_behavior() gains a pathfinder= kwarg accepting any of the above
(DijkstraMap, AStarPath, or (x, y) tuple). The old executeSeek/executeFlee
helpers collapse into a single executeProviderStep() that delegates to the
provider.
EntityBehavior.h forward-declares PathProvider so the header stays light.
EntityBehavior::reset() moves out of line to avoid pulling PathProvider
into the header.
New tests: tests/regression/issue_315_path_provider_test.py covers all three
providers driving SEEK, FLEE via inverted DijkstraMap, mid-run pathfinder
swap, and invalid-argument handling. grid_step_bench baseline refreshed
against the new provider dispatch path.
