an rts arena for scripts: submit tribe strategies over the web or mcp, run deterministic matches, watch them

feat: spawns scatter per seed — no ring, biased apart, never overlapping

Dami committed 109806d
The fixed spawn ring (3/8 radius, even angles, identical geometry every
seed) becomes seeded best-candidate scatter: each spawn samples 24 random
candidates past the ocean margin and keeps the farthest from everyone
placed, with a hard-priority 18-Chebyshev separation floor (two fairness
radii - terraforms can never pave each other) and heavy water penalties.
Every seed is now a different arena; placement stays deterministic.

Also tightens the water fairness quota: the guaranteeing water tile must
itself sit inside the radius-8 window (rim adjacency to unseen water at
r9 no longer counts; a pond is dug instead). Goldens repinned; battle and
ages scenario tests re-seeded (41, 83); balance matrix verified healthy.
