⏱️ 2. Pathing & Override Timeouts

• Pathing Timeout: Wolves pathfinding to a sounded horn location attempt pathfinding for up to 400 ticks (20s) (bd_horn_pathing_timeout). If pathing is obstructed by lava or steep cliffs, the wolf aborts pathing safely.
• Override Duration: Tactical Pacifist override remains active for 600 ticks (30s) (bd_horn_override_duration) before wolves revert to standard personality AI rules.
