Adds view-only playback: re-simulate from the recorded seed + commands and
verify the RNG checksums.
- ReplayReader (lib): parses a replay file into header + an ordered stream of
command/checksum entries. CommandSerializer gains the inverse parseCommand
(round-trips every verb; rejects malformed input).
- ReplayPlayer (lib): the playback driver. Applies each command at its exact
recorded tick and verifies checksums in file order (start() handles tick 0;
advanceTo(tick) handles each tick after sim.tick()). Independent of
replay-time speed/pause; reports the first desync tick.
- CommandManager replay mode: enqueue() becomes a no-op so live input is
ignored while the recorded stream drives application.
- main.cpp: --replay <file> reads + validates (warns on version/config-hash
mismatch), seeds the sim from the header, and threads the replay through
MainWindow to GameWorldView.
- GameWorldView: drives the player in onFrame (manual speed/pause kept,
forward-only), gates the schematic-choices and game-over polls, and draws a
"REPLAY" tag plus a passive "Replay ended" / "Desync at tick N" overlay.
- computeReplayConfigHash factored out of ReplayRecorder for reuse by main.
ReplayPlaybackTest records a scripted run, reads it back, replays it, and
asserts no desync + byte-identical final state -- including the
periodic-checksum-then-command ordering at a shared tick. Full suite green
(350 cases / 3396 assertions); app, tests, and balancing all build.

Hooks a recorder into the command chokepoint so each run is written to disk as
it plays, ready for playback in Phase 3.
- ReplayRecorder (lib): line-oriented append-friendly file — keyed header
(version, build, seed, config_hash, timestamp), then '---', then tick-tagged
command lines interleaved with "# checksum <tick> <hex>" RNG fingerprints.
Each line is flushed so a crash leaves a valid partial file. Config hash is a
64-bit FNV over the config dir's *.toml files; build tag is __DATE__/__TIME__.
- CommandSerializer (lib): per-command text (length-prefixed variable parts;
ship layouts and splitter filters serialized inline). Reset is a file
boundary, never a stream entry.
- CommandManager owns an optional ReplayRecorder: drain() records each applied
command + a post-apply checksum; a drained Reset rolls to a new file;
recordTickCheckpoint() (called per tick from onFrame) writes a checksum every
30 ticks.
- Random seed generated in main and on restart (std::random_device); Simulation
retains it via getSeed() for the header.
- GameWorldView attaches the recorder at construction (first file + tick-0
checksum); replays land in <data>/replays named <timestamp>_<seed>.replay.
ReplayRecorderTest covers serialization, file well-formedness, file rolling,
and the CommandManager drain->record integration. Full suite green
(346 cases / 3377 assertions); app, tests, and balancing all build.
