TerrainGrid._unhandled_input() handles two development affordances:

R rerolls map_seed and regenerates, for eyeballing many seeds quickly.
T cycles to the next terrain preset and regenerates.

Both are useful and both currently ship in an exported build. R in particular would let a player destroy their colony's map with a stray keypress.

The cheap fix is an early return at the top of the handler:

if not OS.is_debug_build():
    return

That keeps them in editor and debug builds and strips them from a release export.

While here

These read raw physical keycodes rather than InputMap actions. That is fine for throwaway keys, but R and T are both plausible real bindings later (rotate, build menu), and a raw handler will silently compete with them. The POC's note applies: move to named actions once the game has real, rebindable bindings.
