I'm trying to use Godot 4.0.1 navigation, and I need to connect navigation polygons that are not fully connected. I found videos doing that in Godot 3.5 using a "Navigation2D" node, but it seems there's no such node in Godot 4. So how do I do it?
I can't simply draw better polygons because my map is randomly generated using blocks that have their own navigation polygons. I want to leave gaps because without gaps my enemies get stuck on corners.
Maybe there is a way to edit navigation polygons using code to remove bits around corners and walls?

Godot 4 and Godot 3.5+ connect different NavigationRegion2D / NavigationPolygonInstances either by direct edge overlap or by proximity withing the edge connection margin of the navigation map.
the NavigationPolygon by itself is just a resource of data, it does not do anything when it is not used in a region
pr https://github.com/godotengine/godot/pull/70724 will add a 2D navigation mesh baking feature that allows to automate this "gap creation" automatically from your scene nodes or you can provide the data for this baking procedual as well.
