- SWDBG: add animated buy sequence with funding arcs, center-screen reveal,
and face-down stow to discard/deck

Introduce a step-by-step adventure battle modal that replaces the old
fixed-delay fx when heroes walk through a dungeon. The modal shows the
hero queue and dungeon layout, then plays hero-by-hero, room-by-room
with battle animations, a play-by-play log, and Continue-gated progression.

and Continue button; handles room hits, trap kills, boss wounds, and
hero deaths with animations

using pre-mutation dungeon/hero snapshots captured in applyDecision()

with spinning animation and icons, driven by new phase events
- Replace heroToken circles with miniHeroCard portraits at entrance gates,
with shrink animation from town to gate size during heroWalks
- Support proxy dragging from hover previews and deep-dive modal
- Add renderInto() to Portrait.js for static portrait copies in the modal
- Add hover-to-zoom preview popup for cards in both DungeonBoss and SWDBG games
(500ms delay, follows pointer, hides behind opponent videos)
- Add new artwork sprite sheets and update frame dimensions in JSON/config:
dungeonboss-rooms 300×200, spells 300×160, heroes 300×225, bosses 300×275
swdbg-cards-art 300×155 art window
