Propagate per-era duration/bottleneck, serving utilization, cash-flow nadir/peak,
and late-game revenue growth through the worker→CSV→interpret pipeline. Add
simulation health archetype classification, per-era bottleneck frequency,
unused-feature frequency table, failed-run AGI gate analysis, and log-scale
variance for exponential metrics. All new CSV columns parse defensively for
backward compatibility with older summary files.

Switch from exec() to spawn() for streaming stderr, add onProgress
callback to runner, and emit per-run progress lines from workers.
CI now shows live percentage, tick count, and era during long runs.

Remove misleading Reputation -> Era Gates connection (score 0 meant
"already sufficient," not broken). Add diagnosis and eventLabel fields
to each connection. Group output: broken links first with [!!] and
plain-language explanation, then healthy links as compact one-liners.

Adds a full simulation harness (game-simulation package) with greedy/random strategies,
36-metric diagnostics, multi-run orchestration via child processes, and a statistical
interpreter. Includes 2.3x engine performance optimizations (research bonus caching,
per-DC dirty tracking, reduced allocations in tick pipeline, single-pass loops).
Fixes a critical balance bug where training pipelines stalled on insufficient VRAM would
permanently block training slots — the engine never re-checked stalled pipelines, and the
greedy strategy didn't pre-check VRAM requirements. This caused 20-25% of seeds to get
stuck in Scale-up era. All three fixes (engine un-stalling, strategy VRAM pre-check,
stalled pipeline cancellation) bring pass rate from 75% to 100% across 20 random seeds.
