The Bomb's Blast Radius Grows, and Cache Gets a Visibility Pass

The bomb explosion radius increased. Cache received lighting work around Vent, a reworked e-box on A site, a lowered Checkers entrance frame at B Main, and grenade and player clipping adjustments throughout. Crouch-jumping in confined spaces no longer pushes the camera through the ceiling, and smoke lighting is more consistent. A case where money was subtracted from the wrong player during bot takeover was fixed.
