Implements a fully playable Roulette game with American double-zero rules, a spinning wheel animation, and a heuristic AI that assigns distinct betting personalities to opponents. Adds colored identity rings to player portraits in both Craps and Roulette for better visual distinction. Updates Craps to render AI bets directly on the felt with color-coded chips and names, and adjusts dice landing positions.
Introduce a complete Craps implementation featuring a Phaser-based UI,
deterministic game logic, and heuristic AI players.
Key changes:
- CrapsLogic.js: Pure-state rules engine handling Pass/Don't Pass, Place,
Come/Don't Come, Field bets, odds, and full resolution logic.
- CrapsAI.js: Stateless AI personalities (conservative, balanced, aggressive,
gambler) derived from player names to drive betting behavior.
- CrapsGame.js: Phaser scene with animated dice rolls, chip tray, dynamic
bet zones, portrait-based opponents, and persistence via profile API.
- Wire Craps into the game registry, main scene loader, and GameRoom dispatcher.
- Remove Socket.IO dependency, server multiplayer logic (lobby, room management), and client-side socket service
- Replace multiplayer-only flow with single-player AI gameplay; add `OpponentSelectScene` for AI configuration
- Simplify game registry to use `minOpponents`/`maxOpponents` instead of `supportsMultiplayer`/`multiplayerOnly`
- Update game registration to remove multiplayer flags and adjust `games` table schema to hardcode `supports_multiplayer = 0`
- Remove `SOCKET_IO_CORS_ORIGIN` from environment configuration
- Update documentation to reflect single-player architecture and simplified game creation process
- Fix minor UI issues: add width to buttons in auth scenes, fix auth listener cleanup in LandingScene, restore DOM layer visibility in Modal
