The AI agent summary is:

I updated the documentation to reflect several user-facing changes from the recent commits:

• External Tilemap (objects/tilemap): documented the new built-in Collision/Class filter properties (collisions can now be enabled directly on the object) and added a section noting tiles can now be edited at runtime like the integrated Tilemap.
• Spine (objects/spine): noted that a binary .skel skeleton can now be used instead of the .json file.
• Scene editor (interface/scene-editor): documented the new option to hide an instance at the start of the scene from the properties panel.
• Pathfinding (behaviors/pathfinding): added a note that tile maps can now be used as obstacles, respecting per-tile hitboxes.

Please review the changes carefully before merging.
