fix(placement): both heights now come from a measurement after settling

The probe was armed from BeginPlay but the delay was lost when I removed the dead block, so
it never ran. Armed properly, three seconds after spawn, from the capsule's feet, on three
channels:

  GigLine foot Visibility after settling: actor Z 456, feet 369, hit Z 366

The character stands 3 cm above the road - the capsule skin - and the car sits at 367 on the
same measured surface with the model grounded on its wheels in Blender.

Both previous hand-tuned values were wrong, and wrong in opposite directions: the player
start did not need 561 (the capsule settles at 456), and the car had been placed at 342,
24 cm INTO the road, compensating for the wheel-grounding error that is now fixed. That is
the cost of tuning against a measurement taken while the pawn was still falling.
