Add Kiai-decided metrics; keep Kiai at +2 (6.6, D47)

Report how often a Tecnica is played and how often Kiai decides a
Kumite or an Exam fight. The tie rule moves to RulesConfig.attacker_wins,
shared by the engine and the metric; games are unchanged. RULES.md drops
the Kiai +1 and catch-up variants from the rules under test.

## Rule variants under test
Parameters to validate by simulation: Kiai +2 vs +1; starting on 3 with 6+ players;
square mix; game length at 3/4/6/8 players; a catch-up rule (Allenamento gives +2 instead
of +1 to a player two or more belts behind the leader).
Parameters to validate by simulation: starting on 3 with 6+ players; square mix; game
length at 3/4/6/8 players.
Tested and set aside (simulator switches only): Exam ties to the defender; best-of-3 Exam.
Tested and set aside (simulator switches only): Exam ties to the defender; best-of-3 Exam;
Kiai +1.
Earlier rules kept as simulator switches: Fatica costing only when you stop on it; Kumite
allowed in the first round.

## Phases
@@ -173,7 +174,7 @@ Deliverables:
- One change at a time. When a change is adopted, re-run the 6.1 baseline so later steps start from the current rules, and log the decision (D-number) here and in `RULES.md`.
- Results go in this file as a table per step (command line, scenario, key measures).
**Next action:** developer review of the 6.3 results; then 6.6 Kiai, when the developer says to continue. 6.2 is suspended (D43), 6.9 skipped (D44); 6.4.1 (chance square) stays optional. Order of the steps: D41. Everything up to 6.10 and D46 is committed (0ca905e); the 6.3 results are not; commit only when the developer asks.
**Next action:** 6.7 player counts. 6.2 is suspended (D43), 6.9 skipped (D44); 6.4.1 (chance square) stays optional. Order of the steps: D41. Everything up to 6.6 is committed; commit only when the developer asks.

- [x] 6.4.2 Option 1, Fatica on crossing: `RulesConfig.fatica_on_crossing` — each Fatica square entered during a move costs 1 stripe, **1 in total per square whether or not the move stops there** (developer, D33); stopping on it adds nothing more. Engine: apply in `_walk` per square entered (not on teleports / relocations, which never walk). Bot: count Fatica crossed in `_path_score`. Likely needs fewer Fatica squares; test on the current board and on a draft with fewer F. Done as the baseline rule (D36): engine `_step` / `_path_choices`, bot `_path_score`, tests; measured on the current board in the 6.1 re-baseline.
- [ ] 6.4.3 If 6.4.1 is run: compare it with the v0.8 baseline on draft 2 (Fatica on crossing, D36) and bring the table to the developer for a decision (then `RULES.md` and D-number).
- [x] 6.5 Home farming: covered by board draft 2 (6.4.0): Allenamento moved from the south training room onto the Dojo ring; own-quadrant share of square income 74% → 62–67%, short of the 60% aim (players cross their own quadrant for most of the game); draft 2 adopted as is (D42). Original step: after 6.4, if the own-quadrant share of square income is still above 60% (baseline: 71%), move Allenamento squares away from the Safe Rooms in a board draft (`dojo sim --quadrant board/drafts/...`) and compare. The board must still pass `dojo board validate`.
- [ ] 6.6 Kiai +2 vs +1: 1,000 games each on two lineups. Watch the Exam pass rate, upset rate and how often a Tecnica turns a fight.
- [x] 6.6 Kiai +2 vs +1: 1,000 games each on two lineups. Watch the Exam pass rate, upset rate and how often a Tecnica turns a fight. **Kiai stays +2 (D47).**
- [x] 6.6.1 Metric: `GameMetrics.tecnica_kumite`, `kiai_decided`, `exam_fights`, `exam_kiai_decided`; report line "Tecnica". A fight is decided by Kiai when the result flips with the Kiai bonus removed, dice and other cards unchanged. The tie rule moved to `RulesConfig.attacker_wins`, shared by the engine and the metric (fingerprinted games identical).
- [x] 6.6.2 Run: `uv run dojo sim --games 1000 --seed 0 --kiai 2 1 --lineup balanced,farmer,aggressive balanced casual`.
| Lineup | Kiai | Minutes mean / p90 | Exam passed | Upsets | Tecnica played in; Kiai decided (Kumite / Exam) | Halfway leader wins | Rivals within 1 belt |

- Reading: Kiai +2 and +1 are indistinguishable on every target measure (≤ 1 pp, inside the noise). Tecnica are rare: heuristic bots draw a Nebbia card on 2.3% of turns (0.5 Tecnica per game; Nebbia is worth 0.2 to them, below an Allenamento), casual bots on 9.7% (3.3 Tecnica per game). Even for casual play Kiai decides 5% (+2) vs 3% (+1) of Kumite. Scratch script `tecnica.py` (200 games per lineup).
- [ ] 6.7 Player counts: 3 / 4 / 6 / 8 players, start 0; plus start 3 at 6 and 8 players. Minutes per count; decide whether 6+ players start on Yellow.
- [x] 6.10 Simulation speed (before 6.3; D46: games unchanged). Profile: ~95% of the time was listing moves (`movement._extend`, `Board.neighbours`, the outcome keys in `Engine._path_choices`).
- [x] 6.10.1 Guard: `agents/scripts/fingerprint_games.py` hashes every event of 210 games (mixed / casual at 4 players, 6 players, Fatica on stop with Kumite in round 1, random bots, 60-round cap); `write` before an engine change, `check` after. A tool for refactoring and speed work, not a test (rule changes are expected to differ). Timings came from a scratch benchmark.
