Fixes #1388

The WorldScape3D invalidation done in the editor plugin clear() was incomplete, leaving behind dangling pointers that would allow 3D gui calls to be fowarded even if the node creation is undone.

Summary by CodeRabbit

• Bug Fixes
  • Improved stability when working with terrain in the 3D editor.
  • Prevented stale terrain references from being used after the terrain is no longer available.
  • Ensured terrain selection and picking state are properly reset when clearing the editor.

Walkthrough

WorldScape3D now clears terrain and picking state regardless of terrain validity. Viewport input handling also ignores terrain instances that were freed from ObjectDB.

Changes

WorldScape3D terrain lifecycle

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Terrain cleanup and stale-input guard modules/worldscape_3d/editor/worldscape_3d_editor.cpp	clear() always resets the terrain reference and picking state. forward_3d_gui_input() checks ObjectDB before processing input for a terrain instance.

Estimated code review effort: 2 (Simple) | ~10 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟠 High · up to 62cf4

The change aims to restore viewport interaction after undo, but stale terrain pointers can still be dereferenced and may crash or disable the editor. Terrain lifetime must be tracked safely before merge.

1058-1059: 🩺 Stability & Availability | 🔴 Critical | 🏗️ Heavy lift

Track terrain lifetime independently from raw pointers.

When a terrain node is freed, WorldScape3DEditorPlugin::is_terrain_valid() can dereference its dangling pointer before ObjectDB validation. This affects clear() and get_last_terrain(). forward_3d_gui_input() also calls terrain->get_instance_id() before validation. Store an ObjectID, resolve it through ObjectDB before member access, and clear _last_terrain when clearing the editor terrain.
