BotActionProcessor::GetBot() used ObjectAccessor::GetPlayer(nullptr, guid)
which compares player->GetMap() == nullptr — always false for bots on BG
maps. This caused 100% action failure rate (39/39 failed). All deferred
actions (orb pickup, flag capture, node interaction) were silently dropped.
Fix: Use ObjectAccessor::FindPlayer(guid) which does a global lookup
without map comparison.
Also adds TrimExcessBotsLocked() to detect and remove excess bots when
teams are overpopulated, called from both PopulateBattlegroundLocked()
and ProcessPendingPopulations().

Replace TerrainMgr::GetZoneId() calls with direct reads from the
gameobject table's zoneId/areaId columns. This avoids loading 62+ map
terrain trees (with recursive child maps, grid file I/O, and VMap/MMap
load/unload cycles) during startup.
destinationZoneId is unused by any consumer — the travel route planner
already uses exact destinationPosition coordinates for distance-based
routing, which is strictly more precise than zone-level comparison.

Implements the previously unhandled CMSG_SET_CURRENCY_FLAGS opcode, which
allows players to toggle per-currency display preferences (e.g. "Show on
Backpack"). Wire format decoded from IDA disassembly of WoW 12.x client:
{ uint32 CurrencyID; uint8 Flags; }
Changes:
- Add SetCurrencyFlags ClientPacket class (MiscPackets.h/cpp)
- Add Player::SetCurrencyFlags() with ClientFlags mask validation
- Add WorldSession::HandleSetCurrencyFlags() with DB2 currency validation
- Wire opcode as STATUS_LOGGEDIN, PROCESS_THREADUNSAFE
The flags (CurrencyDbFlags::InBackpack, UnusedInUI) are persisted via the
existing _SaveCurrency() path — no schema changes needed.

GetZoneIdForPosition() calls sTerrainMgr.GetZoneId() per portal, which
uses weak_ptr caching. During startup no Map objects hold terrain refs,
so each call loads the entire terrain tree from disk (including all child
instance maps) then immediately unloads it. For continent maps with dozens
of children, this repeats hundreds of times causing extreme startup delay.
Hold shared_ptr<TerrainInfo> in a temporary cache during initialization so
each map's terrain is loaded exactly once.

Two critical bugs fixed:
1. BotActionManager::ProcessActions() was never called in production.
The BotActionManagerSubsystem had updateOrder=0 (never updated) and
no Update() method. All deferred actions (INTERACT_OBJECT, ENTER_VEHICLE,
etc.) queued by worker threads accumulated forever without execution.
This broke ToK orb pickup, CTF flag return, node captures, vehicle
boarding, and all other deferred GO interactions added in Phase 1A.
Fix: Added Update() override with updateOrder=250.
2. Dead bots in BGs ran to their corpse instead of resurrecting.
HandleResurrecting with AUTO_RESURRECT passively waited 30s for
IsAlive(), but BG spirit guides require gossip interaction that bots
never perform. After timeout, retry via GHOST_DECIDING could choose
CORPSE_RUN if BG ended during the wait (InBattleground() false).
Fix: Force-resurrect bots in BGs after 30s wave timer instead of
falling through to corpse run retry path.

- Fix silent orb pickup failure: deferred Use() via BotActionMgr caused bots
to move away before main thread processed the spell cast. Added
m_pendingOrbPickup hold-position state so bots stay at orb for up to 2s
until the main thread processes the deferred GO interaction.
- Fix uneven orb split (1 vs 8+ bots): replaced race-prone m_orbTargeters
map with GUID-based deterministic slot assignment (GUID % ORB_COUNT with
round-robin fallback) for even distribution without shared mutable state.
- Fix missing combat engagement: bots now check for nearby enemies via
coordinator during orb approach movement and initiate Attack().
- Fix claim-aware hasFreeOrb: ExecuteStrategy Priority 2 now skips orbs
with active m_orbClaimedUntil and m_orbSearchFailed cooldowns, so bots
correctly fall through to escort/hunt instead of re-entering PickupOrb.
- Fix carrier waypoint oscillation: replaced forward-only waypoint scan
with center-distance comparison so carriers don't oscillate between
midway waypoint and center.
- Fix missing OnBattlegroundEnd hook: PlayerbotBGScript now detects
STATUS_WAIT_LEAVE transition and calls BGBotManager::OnBattlegroundEnd()
to prevent resource leaks and dangling pointers.
- Fix Map::SendObjectUpdates crash: RemovePlayerBot now clears Account
and Item BaseEntity objects from _updateObjects, not just Player.

Bug 1: BG under-population (7v4) - Skip bots on wrong map in in-transit
counting. Bots that failed teleport sit on their home map but were
counted as "in-transit", making teams appear full prematurely.
Bug 2 (CRITICAL): Spatial cache faction bug - BGSpatialQueryCache used a
single _faction from the first bot for ALL enemy/ally queries. Half the
bots saw their own team as enemies and enemies as allies. Added
callerFaction parameter to all 8 spatial query methods and excludeGuid
to GetNearestEnemy to prevent self-targeting. Updated all 15 call sites
across BGScriptBase, CTFScriptBase, and TempleOfKotmoguScript.
Bug 3: Dual orb pickup race - Two bots at orb location could both call
Use() in the same tick before RefreshOrbState() detected the aura. Added
m_orbClaimedUntil timestamp map with 3-second claim window.
Bug 4: Carrier circling - Fully caused by Bug 2. Carrier's
GetNearestEnemy() returned itself, causing self-attack which disrupted
movement. Resolved by callerFaction + excludeGuid parameters.

When a human queued for a BG, warm pool bots failed to populate the
queue due to 5 cascading failures:
1. Human player was only registered in _humanPlayers after botsQueued>0,
but warm pool bots are async so botsQueued=0 — human never tracked,
breaking GetQueuedHumanForBG() for all warm pool bots
2. Dead bots from previous sessions silently failed IsBotAvailable()
with no logging — 10/19 warm pool bots rejected
3. IsBotAvailable() had no diagnostic logging for any rejection path
4. QueueStatePoller immediately unregistered after warm pool claimed
success, with no verification that bots actually queued
Fixes:
- Move human registration before bot loop (always register)
- Resurrect dead bots in BotPostLoginConfigurator before BG queue
- Add TC_LOG_DEBUG to every IsBotAvailable rejection path
- Replace immediate unregister with 30s verification re-poll that
re-registers the queue if actual counts are insufficient

EscortFriendlyFC, DefendOwnFlagRoom, ReturnDroppedFlag
- DominationScriptBase: RefreshNodeState, CaptureNode, DefendNode,
FindNearestCapturableNode, GetBestAssaultTarget
Phase 2-7 - ExecuteStrategy behavior trees for all 13 BGs:
- CTF: WarsongGulch, TwinPeaks (phase-aware flag priority trees)
- Domination: ArathiBasin (3-cap), BattleForGilneas (2-cap), DeepwindGorge,
SeethingShore (dynamic nodes), EyeOfTheStorm (hybrid CTF/domination)
- Siege: AlteracValley (phase-based), StrandOfTheAncients, IsleOfConquest
- ResourceRace: SilvershardMines (cart escort + lane control)
- Epic: Ashran (road push with event objectives)

- GUID-hash duty split for deterministic task distribution
- RefreshState throttled to 1s at top of each ExecuteStrategy
- EngageTarget (SetSelection + Attack) at every engagement point
- Phase-ignoring GO search for dynamically spawned BG objects
- Thin delegation: if (script->ExecuteStrategy(player)) return

The coordinator role system never populated role requirements, causing all
bots to default to ROAMER. This meant no carriers were defended, no enemy
carriers were hunted, and bots wandered aimlessly after picking up orbs.

- Priority 1: Orb carriers always move to center (never stop for combat)
- Priority 2: Free orbs get picked up (with bot-splitting via m_orbTargeters)
- Priority 3: GUID-hash duty split - 2/3 escort friendly carriers, 1/3 hunt
enemy carriers, with center-carrier priority weighting
- Priority 4: No carriers - patrol center and fight enemies
