Review: windowstead #61 — fix cancel_build_placement clears kind before reading it

Recommendation

Approve. This is a minimal, correct bug fix that addresses a race condition where pending_build_kind is cleared before being read for the "place another" UI message.

Change-by-Change Findings

Location	Finding
scripts/main.gd:856	Correct: var kind := pending_build_kind captures the value before clearing, resolving the bug described in issue #61.
scripts/main.gd:858	Correct: pending_build_kind = "" clearing happens after capture, as intended.
scripts/main.gd:860-861	Correct: Guard if not kind.is_empty() ensures we only show the "place another" message when there's actually a kind to display. This is defensive and prevents a trailing space in the label.

None. The fix is deterministic and internally consistent. Smoke test with the Godot headless runner (--script res://tests/test_runner.gd) would confirm runtime correctness if desired, but the logic is straightforward.
