Fr0zkaandClaude Opus 5 302cf16681 fix(world): the voxel field is in ACTOR space -- make every entry point agree
The city's hole is not at world (0,0), so the AVoxelWorld actor has to move.
It couldn't: the plugin was only HALF actor-relative, and had been for a long
time without symptoms because the actor always sat at the origin.

Already correct: GetBiomeAtWorldLocation, GetVoxelSurfaceHeightAt,
UpdateDecorations, UpdateLandmarks, UpdateWater, UVoxelDensityVolume::Update,
the passage debug draw, the clipmap material.

Not correct: the streaming centre, the streaming anchors, all six carve/fill
entry points, GetStrateAtPosition, and UVoxelAtmosphereManager::UpdateForPlayer
-- whose own comment documented the assumption out loud ("actor at
origin/identity"). Carving would have landed offset; the strate lookup would
have been quietly wrong by the actor's Z.

The trap worth recording: because the content managers already convert
internally, converting PlayerLastPos once at the source would have DOUBLE-
converted four call sites. The fix has to be per-boundary. That was only
visible after reading each consumer -- the estimate before that read was wrong
in both directions.

WorldToLocalCm / WorldToLocalVoxel / LocalVoxelToWorld are now declared as the
only sanctioned boundary between Unreal coordinates and voxel coordinates, and
the real deliverable is the invariant next to them: no `/ VOXEL_SIZE` applied
to a parameter named `World*` outside those three functions. A grep can check
that. The risk was never a missed site among the ones found -- it is the next
one nobody notices.

Also adds a translation-only guard in BeginPlay. Tiles, ClassifyBox verdicts,
the clipmap window, culling and streaming distance all assume world-axis-
aligned boxes; a rotation or non-unit scale breaks that structurally rather
than gracefully, so it logs an Error naming what was set.

With the actor at the origin every conversion is identity, so this is a no-op
until the actor actually moves. Built and confirmed working.
