feat: MUD-style event feed, api.say, hover tooltips, balance pass

Dami committed Aug 15dbee17d

- protocol: SimEvent union, TribeView.events, say order, feed limits
- engine: fog-filtered event emission, home-field defense bonus (2x near own
  TC on defend), towers 12dmg/350hp, walls 450hp, kills*10 score, completed
  buildings only score, sighted events with 200-tick cooldown
- script-host: api.say (sanitized, 120 chars, 1/tick)
- bots: fix all three reference bots never crewing construction sites
- web: event feed panel, entity hover tooltips, richer frames
- docs: event feed reference + untrusted-feed-content warning
- scripts/balance.mjs: headless matchup harness
