Per playtest feedback:
- Drop the per-challenge 'Plays:' line — redundant with the card column and the
event log (also removes the now-unused chPlays const).
- Drop the 'Attempted by … drag a card … assist' how-to paragraph; players know
the basics, and the challenge header already names who's challenged.
- Replace the 'Red/Black Obstacle · match to draw' tag with the original card in
the title (e.g. '5♣ — Loitering Mermaid'), and color the title by suit. The
left border already marks color; the dead .obstacle-color-tag CSS is removed.
Suit glyphs in the title use plain text symbols (not SUIT_EMOJI) so they take
the theme-aware suit color and stay readable on the dark panel. Verified in
light and dark.

Replace the big-original-card + row-of-minis layout with a single vertical
column: the original sits at the back (accent ring), each play stacks in front
with a heavy negative margin so only its rank+suit peeks out, and the latest
card is fully visible at the bottom. Played cards keep a green/red success ring;
the ChallengePanel's per-play list still credits each player.
Top-aligns the Current Difficulty / Successes boxes so they no longer stretch to
the now-taller card column. Matches the rulebook's column card layout and is far
more compact. Verified in the ChallengePanel, the obstacle list, and on mobile.

Follow-up tweaks to the scene dashboard:
- Bubbles now show the human player name alongside the Pi-Rat name.
- The Captain is named "Captain <name>" (the "Recruit" honorific swapped,
or "Captain" prepended once Named) instead of a 🛞 icon — applied on
bubbles and the character-sheet/duel headings via new crewLabel/
captainName helpers in lib/cards.js.
- "Objectives" → "Crew Objectives" moved to the end of the roster as a
left-aligned toggle with a right-aligned X/3 completed counter; it now
slides the detailed list open in place (svelte/transition slide)
instead of opening a modal.

Replace the roster banner and the standalone character-sheet panel with
a left-hand column of crew bubbles. Each bubble shows the player's role
icon, name, rank, current hand size, and a 🛞 for the Captain; clicking
one pops out that player's character sheet as a modal.
- New CrewColumn.svelte: bubbles (Pi-Rats first, Deep last) + an
Objectives button that opens a crew-objectives popup.
- CharacterSheet.svelte is now a target-driven modal: description,
likes/hates, and personal objectives for anyone; secret J/Q/K only on
your own sheet; the Duel UI (no "Challenge whom?" — target is fixed)
only when a living Pi-Rat views another living Pi-Rat.
- ScenePhase.svelte → 3-column layout (crew | obstacles | hand/deep);
crew column collapses to a horizontal strip on narrow screens.
- Shared .modal-backdrop/.modal-box/.modal-close moved into components.css;
removed the now-dead roster-banner and captain-badge styles.
Backend unchanged — the state blob already carries hands, roles, ranks,
objectives, and the captain.

During between_scenes there's now just one centered panel with the
voting controls, nomination progress, and Crew Rank Ledger. The separate
"Resting Deep Upkeep" panel (which only said hand refresh would happen
later) is rendered solely during deep_upkeep, where the actual discard/
redraw happens. Moved the rank ledger into the voting panel and added a
.between-grid.single layout.

An admin can now opt into "teaching mode" from the lobby, seeding
themselves as the Rank-3 player who must play the Deep in the first
scene (instead of leaving it to the random starting-rank roll), so they
can run the table for new crews.
- Game.teaching_deep_player_id (+ Alembic migration)
- maybe_finish_assign_techniques honors it before rolling ranks, so both
the normal flow and the dev-mode skip path respect it
- Admin-gated POST .../teaching-mode toggle (pre-rank phases only)
- Lobby checkbox UI, greyed out if another admin already volunteered

CSS refactor: every color, font, radius, and shadow is now defined once
in theme.css; all other styles derive translucent variants with
color-mix(), so re-theming means editing one file. Removed the
duplicate core.css/style.css import chains, dead styles, and the
Bootstrap/Tailwind orphan classes that were silently unstyled
(the main reason the splash page looked broken).
New "Lantern & Brine" look: brass and parchment on a lantern-lit
ink-navy night, Pirata One wordmark with Alegreya SC/Sans body fonts
(self-hosted via fontsource — they were previously referenced but
never loaded), parchment-faced playing cards, and a rebuilt splash
page. Inline color styles in components were replaced with semantic
classes (prompt-box, notice-banner, status chips, etc.), the rulebook's
embedded palette was updated to match, and the leftover Vite favicon
and "frontend" page title were replaced.

Replace the SPA Rules route with a self-contained src/pirats/rules.html
served at GET /rules (registered before the SPA mount, included in
package data for the Nix build). Plain anchor links replace the
scrollIntoView workaround since there's no hash router to fight. The
corner Rules link and splash-page link now point at /rules, and the
Vite dev server proxies /rules to the backend like /api.

New /#/rules route renders the full rulebook transcribed from
"Rats with Gats beta.pdf" (intro, character creation, gameplay,
obstacle charts, challenge resolution, example of play, and setting
info), with an in-page table of contents. A fixed corner link in
App.svelte opens it in a new tab from every page, and the splash
page's previously broken /rules link now points at the new route.
