Ghost preview for terrain painting: shows the selected terrain's tile at the hovered cell while the placement system is in TERRAIN mode. Implemented as a one-cell TileMapLayer that mirrors the target map's TileSet and global transform, so square and isometric layouts render identically to the real paint result. The ghost look comes from [member preview_self_modulate] (default: subtle ghost blue). Add one inside the PlacementInjectorSystem's injection scope (e.g. under World). It tracks the positioner each frame while visible and repaints only when the hovered cell or selected terrain changes.
