fix(issue-4): replace hardcoded BLOCKING_TYPES with metadata-driven ITEM_METADATA (#20)

* fix(issue-4): add missing solid floor props to BLOCKING_TYPES

Audited all furniture types defined in furnitureDefaults.ts and
geometry.ts (ITEM_FOOTPRINT) against BLOCKING_TYPES in navigation.ts.

Added five previously missing solid floor props:
- water_cooler: freestanding floor appliance, agents pathfound through it
- server_terminal: floor-standing terminal in the server room
- dishwasher: floor appliance in the kitchen area
- easel: floor-standing art-room prop
- beanbag: floor seat large enough to obstruct walking paths

Also adds a unit test asserting every newly-added type is correctly
blocked in the nav grid, and that non-solid desk decorations (keyboard)
remain free.

* refactor(nav): replace hardcoded BLOCKING_TYPES with metadata-driven ITEM_METADATA

Previously, buildNavGrid() maintained a hardcoded BLOCKING_TYPES set in
navigation.ts. The issue #4 fix added the five missing solid props directly
to that set, but this approach is brittle — every new furniture type requires
a separate PR touching navigation.ts to stay correct.

This rework introduces ITEM_METADATA in geometry.ts (alongside the existing
ITEM_FOOTPRINT record) as the single source of truth for per-type navigation
properties:

  export const ITEM_METADATA: Record<string, { blocksNavigation: boolean }>

Each item type explicitly declares blocksNavigation: true/false. The five
props fixed in issue #4 (water_cooler, server_terminal, dishwasher, easel,
beanbag) retain their blocking status. Unknown types default to false, so
future decorative items never accidentally block navigation.

Changes:
- geometry.ts: add ITEM_METADATA export (64 type entries)
- navigation.ts: remove BLOCKING_TYPES set; add itemBlocksNavigation() helper
  that reads ITEM_METADATA[type]?.blocksNavigation ?? false; update buildNavGrid()
  to call it
- tests/unit/navigation.navBlockers.test.ts: retain original 5 solid-prop tests;
  add metadata-driven test suite covering: all blocking types from metadata,
  all non-blocking types from metadata, runtime-added type with blocksNavigation:true,
  and unknown-type safe fallback

All 10 tests pass; lint clean; only pre-existing TS2367 (issue #13) remains.

* test(navigation): add extended nav blocker tests (issue #4)

Additional tests for buildNavGrid and astar pathfinding:
- Adjacent blocking items create a continuous impassable wall
- Blocking item near grid edge/boundary causes no out-of-bounds errors
- Full pathfinding integration: astar routes AROUND a cabinet placed between
  start and end (not just that cells are blocked)
- desk_cubicle explicitly does NOT block — confirmed via ITEM_METADATA
- door explicitly does NOT block — agents must walk through doors
