Record that SP9 was driven, and what driving it found

The handover said SP9 still needed a person clicking it. It has had one, and
the two bugs that came out are the point: both were in the gap between the
suite and the screen, and the frontend still has no test runner to close it.

+**Driving it found two bugs the suite could not have.** The pager did not appear until the
+page was reloaded — a retry's reply is the second take of its turn, and the SSE stream
+builds its own `ActionOut`, so it was the one payload that never got the annotation. And
+retaking a player turn gave `> You > You ...`, because the editor is seeded with the stored
+text, which is already formatted. Both fixed, both with regression tests. **Neither was
+reachable from any test that existed, and the frontend still has no test runner** — which
+is the standing reason this project keeps finding UI bugs by hand.

+**State was checked against the running app, not just asserted.** On the HP-script demo, a
+path crossing *three* branches carried exactly the damage of the nine AI nodes on it and
+none of the 66 points sitting on takes those branches never told. `test_take_state.py`
+pins the same guarantee with a script that adds ten gold a turn; three of its five tests
+fail if `roll_back_before` is removed.
 
 **What SP7 got wrong, in one line: a chip meant two different things.** At the tip it
 switched; further back it only previewed, and taking that line needed a second button. The
