Part of milestone #5. Depends on #68 and #70. Blocked by milestone #3: there are no resources, inventories or storage to haul between yet, and BuildingType has no resource cost.

Filed now so the design intent is recorded where both collaborators can see it.

Intended shape:

BuildingType gains a required-resources list (see the 'Things to come' comment in BuildingType.gd)
ConstructionTask spawns one HaulTask child per required resource stack, targeting the building's entrance cell as delivery point
HaulTask.can_start is false until a source (Colony Centre or designated storage) holds the resource; the parent stays blocked until every child completes
Pawn carry capacity limits how much one HaulTask moves per trip

Revisit the scope once milestone #3 defines resources and storage.

Move the effort guard onto Task.work(), delegating to an abstract _work()
