v0.8.0.11 — sixteen fixes from the second multiplayer playtest

Arrivals name whose Office they reached, and no longer tell every seat they can
work the train. The turn chart follows the animation queue, so being five behind
looks five behind across the whole screen rather than half of it. Pause sits
beside Skip and preserves the dwell a held step still owed. A one-render look at
another player's Office Area. The district summary counts the board being shown.
LIMITS is printed beneath its card instead of through its border. The Mainline
region divider is visible. Only Hilly mentions FAST/SLOW, because it is the only
card that reads it. A passenger Modifier on a Whistle Post reports itself dormant
rather than claiming the facility "only receives". An automatic phase says what
the Division is doing instead of answering by negation. The version appears once
in the header rather than twice on every .s9pk. Save files carry the join code,
the Stage and the date.

The New Train phase, reviewed before being changed: the make-up panel now says
what the train STILL needs rather than only what its card calls for, explains
that a player adds one car before the round passes on, marks the train being
loaded on the Division map, and gives an addable car in the yard the same amber
every other clickable thing on the page wears.

Reasoning, measurements and the reports behind each are in CHANGELOG.md.

/**
* WHOSE OFFICE, AND WHOSE TRAIN — Jesse, playtest 2026-09-16.
*
* The line went to every seat reading "ARRIVED at the Whistle Post … You can work it in Cargo now".
* At a table of four that is one true sentence and one false one: every seat has an Office, so the
* tier alone does not say which district the train is standing in, and three of the four readers
* cannot touch it. Constructed here rather than fished out of a game so both halves are pinned
* exactly, and the resolver-less path is checked too — the replay viewers pass no names for a
* table they do not have.
