The extension question was hidden behind the results screen (Gitea#11)

Jesse, playing v0.7.8: "Solitaire game ended. I did not have an option
to extend the game by a day."

The engine and the Frame were right — checked before changing anything.
A solitaire game at the end of its timetable reaches awaitingExtension
with extensionVotes [null], and renderEnding writes "play one more Day"
into #actions. It then opens #resultsdlg, which is MODAL, so those
buttons were directly underneath a dialog whose only control was Close.

The results dialog now carries the question itself, hidden unless a vote
is pending: Play One More Day / End the Game Here, casting the same
game.extend intent. The #actions buttons stay as the fallback once it is
closed.

TODO.md #35 recorded extended play as verified on phoenix.local — over
the HTTP API, which renders no dialog. What was proven was that the
server supports it, not that a player can reach it. Noted there.

Rides along in the unshipped v0.7.9. 870 tests pass, one new.

+
+**The engine and the Frame were right the whole time** — checked before changing anything: a
+solitaire game at the end of its timetable reaches `awaitingExtension` with `extensionVotes: [null]`,
+and `isExtendable` covers both `revenueFloor` and `daysElapsed`. `renderActions` reaches
+`renderEnding` for any non-active status, and `renderEnding` writes "play one more Day" and "end the
+game here" into `#actions`.
+
+Then it opens `#resultsdlg`, **which is modal**. So the two buttons were rendered directly underneath
+a dialog whose only control was Close, and the player read a results screen that offered nothing but
+Close and concluded the game was over — which is precisely what it looked like.
+
+The results dialog now carries the question itself, hidden unless a vote is actually pending:
+**Play One More Day** and **End the Game Here**, casting the same `game.extend` intent. The
+`#actions` buttons stay, because they are what remains once the dialog is closed and what a player
+who reopens it with "see the full results" comes back to.
+
+**Why this survived being "verified".** `TODO.md` #35 recorded extended play as checked on
+`phoenix.local` — over the HTTP API, which renders no dialog. The browser path had never been run to
+the end of a timetable. Same shape as the three attempts before it: the thing that was verified was
+not the thing the player uses.
