Restrict Navigation2D to the 4 cardinal points

I have this procedurally generated maze which I solve using the Navigation2D. It looks like this

enter image description here

I have turned Show Navigation on in the Debug menu hence the green outline. As the sprite takes a corner you can see it's taking the slanted line.

I want it to restrict itself to right-angled turns only. I configured the navigation polygon to 4 pixels wide, and the inverse of that polygon as my collision polygon so it's supposed to be a tight fit?. I am confused as to why there's that blurry outline at the vertices.

My repo is here https://github.com/plasticruler/tower-defence-maze

Also, any comments on why it doesn't always return the shortest path?

I've done some research and even tried to code it myself but sadly no positive results. You could try solving the maze by sending some "agents" with restricted 4 directional movements and the agent with the shortest path is your answer something like an Ant simulation Video I recommend watching about Ant simulation. I also had found this useful video by GDquest that you might find helpfulVideo
