Malte Langkabel f62b7bb78e Pacing pass: unlock ladder, threat rate, economy values
Replace the everything-at--1 test setup with the real progression:
starting set is exactly drone/frigate/railgun_s/salvager; the ladder
runs destroyer+repair+armor at level 0, supports at 1, the quartz gate
(cruiser, railgun_m, afterburner, chip/hardened shortcuts) at 2,
battlecruiser at 4, battleship+railgun_l at 6, dreadnought at 8,
carrier+drone_hangar at 9, with unlock_requires edges cruiser ->
battlecruiser -> battleship -> dreadnought/carrier and railgun_m ->
railgun_l.

world.toml: threat_rate_formula 2*x + 0.15*x*x (below the player's
achievable military output early, crossing at the late boundary,
overwhelming by cycle ~24), starting_building_blocks 1000 -> 200,
expansion cost 200 -> 400 flat (placeholder until action item 4),
artifact_win_count 3 -> 5 (winning means choosing the artifact over a
schematic five times across ~7 cumulative offers).

Bug fix found during the pass: the building_block recipe carried no
unlock_at_station_level, and since building blocks appear in no
schematic's materials, implicit unlocking could never reach it - the
recipe was silently locked at game start. Now explicitly -1.

All values and derivations documented in content_design.md, "Pacing
pass - first values".

# ships.toml
#
# First real-content iteration: ship ids and layout grids are the designed
# content; stats, materials, and production times are placeholders until the
# recipe and balancing passes.
#
# Unlock progression is mostly disabled (unlock_at_station_level = -1) pending
# the balancing pass. The capital hulls are the exception: battleship is gated
# to station level 1, and dreadnought (level 2) requires battleship to be
# unlocked first (unlock_requires) — a demonstration of the prerequisite chain.
#
# Size classes:
# xs drone 1 cell — exactly one 1x1 module
# s frigate, destroyer no 2x2 area anywhere: only 1x1/1x2/1x3/L modules fit
# m cruiser, battlecruiser 2x2 areas (m guns, drone bays) but no 3x3 area
# l battleship four m guns, or exactly one 3x3 l gun at heavy
# opportunity cost
# xl dreadnought, carrier dreadnought fits three l guns but no drone
# hangar; carrier fits one drone hangar (2x6)
# but no l gun (its deck rows are broken up
# by elevator shafts)
