Docs: mark Tower Sell done; note budgeted pathfinding re-path scheduler

Browse source 
Updates Project_Context.md + Project_Roadmap.md for the tower-sell work (refund rules, coin VFX/SFX, refund excluded from income) and the PathfindingService budgeted re-path scheduler that removed the sell/placement frame hitch. Follows commit 0b4cde4 which landed the code + art.

The **forward-looking plan**: what's done, what's next, and the sequencing. Current-state architecture and the full list of implemented systems live in [`Project_Context.md`](Project_Context.md) — read that first for "how things work today." This document focuses on direction and remaining work.

- **Tower Upgrade / Sell actions** — HUD buttons exist but are disabled. Sell first (refund + despawn), then per-tower upgrade if the systemic model leaves room for it.
- **Tower Sell — ✅ DONE** (branch `tower-sell`): refund + despawn + coin VFX/SFX; 75% of invested gold, Wall 100% while un-upgraded, refund not counted as income; `TowerInstance.ServerAddUpgradeInvestment` records upgrade spend for the refund and is the seam the Upgrade system will write to.
- **Tower Upgrade action** — HUD button still disabled. Build it once the systemic-upgrade model (A3) settles whether per-tower upgrade trees are wanted on top of the systemic modifiers.
- **Enemy resistances / weaknesses** — `EnemyHealth.TakeDamage` has the stub slot; info panel has the placeholder.
- **Terrain architecture decision** — Unity Terrain vs mesh vs ProBuilder. Builder code is terrain-agnostic; decide before heavy art.
- **Camera polish** — cursor-anchored zoom near map edges, center-on-builder hotkey, race/phase-aware initial position.
