feat: add colony naming system and species lore conversations 

Introduce colony naming with a 50-name bank per species, shuffled
per-empire and displayed as defaults in naming prompts. Colony names
now appear across all UI layers (star map, side panel, colony view,
system view) with the astronomical designation as fallback.

Add three pure-flavor conversation topics to diplomacy: "Their People"
(neutral+), "Their Homeworld" (friendly), and "A Story" (friendly).
Each diplomacy-capable species receives unique lore-rich responses
(3 variants each) reflecting their culture, homeworld, and history.

Other changes:
- Switch ursaal videos from generic "human" assets to species-specific
- Widen diplomacy buttons to 200px; add auto-shrink for long labels
- Add ±5 population transport buttons to colony view
- Validate colonyNames (50+ entries, no duplicates)
- Enforce minimum lore variant counts in verification

She sold the mirror to both sides, told each it showed the border as the other side saw it, and let them argue over the reflection instead of the land. By the time they realized the trick, they\'d talked long enough to like each other better than the war. We tell it to children as a joke about a con artist. We tell it to diplomats as a lesson.',
'Ask any human sailor and they\'ll tell you some version of the same tale, {you}: a captain lost at sea, out of supplies, who finds a lighthouse keeper willing to trade a night\'s shelter for nothing but a good story. The captain tells one so well the keeper forgets to charge for the second night. Or the third. Eventually the keeper realizes she\'s been fed nothing but stories for a month and the captain never leaves — because a good story, well told, is its own kind of currency.

He fell, of course, though the story insists the fall was slow, almost polite, as if the sky itself were giving him every chance to reconsider. He survived, grounded and humbled, and lived out his days teaching flight to fledglings who had none of his pedigree and all of his old title. We tell it as a warning about pride. We also tell it, quietly, as a warning about believing your own stories.',
'Every Kestrelli knows the tale of the Grounded Queen — a ruler stripped of her wings by a rival house and left to walk among groundling-born servants for a full turning of the seasons. The histories disagree on whether it broke her or made her; what they agree on is that when her wings were finally restored, she flew straight to the rival house and, instead of striking it down, offered its heir a place at her side. She had learned, she said, exactly what her people looked like from below. We still argue in our courts about what she meant by that. We have not stopped telling the story.',

Every aerie since has been built on that same stubborn ledge, one generation adding to what the last one dared to start.

The lesson isn\'t about the kill. It\'s about the waiting. Any fool can pull a trigger fast. Only a hunter can wait three days and not flinch when the moment finally arrives.',

When one finally died, the survivor discovered, going through the notes, that they had — through entirely different reasoning — arrived at the same answer years earlier, and neither had noticed.

The story doesn\'t dwell on how hard it was. We don\'t, either. What matters is that she didn\'t stop, and neither did the clutches that came after her.',
'We tell the story of the Long Rivalry, two broods that contested the same stretch of jungle for generations, neither strong enough to drive the other out entirely. The rivalry ended not in conquest but in exhaustion — a joint clutch, born of both broods, that neither side had the will left to fight over. Some tellings call it peace. We prefer to call it what it actually was: two territories that simply grew into each other until the border stopped mattering.',
'There\'s a legend about a hatchling too small for her clutch, expected to be culled by the nest\'s own harsh mathematics, who instead outgrew every expectation by sheer refusal to stop trying. She became, in most tellings, the founder of an entire lineage that still traces itself back to her. We doubt every detail of the story and tell it anyway, because it says something true about the brood even where it\'s exaggerating the facts: nothing here survives by being given room.
