feat(chess): focused polling, promotion fix, and game end celebration

- Add focused game mode to ChessPollingDelegate: when viewing a game,
  only that game is polled instead of all active games
- Fix pawn promotion by parsing promotion suffix in publishMove
  (e.g., "e8q" -> "e8" + QUEEN)
- Add game end overlay with victory/defeat/draw celebration
- Remove all debug println statements for production readiness

+ * Jester Protocol Reconstruction:
+ * 1. Find start event (content.kind=0) → establishes startEventId, challenger color, players
+ * 2. Find move with longest history → this is the current state
+ * 3. Replay moves from history to build engine state
+ * 4. Check for result/termination in latest move → mark finished if present
+ *
+ * Key Jester differences:
+ * - No separate accept event (acceptance is implicit)
+ * - Full move history in every move event
+ * - Can reconstruct from any single move (has complete history)
+ * - startEventId is the game identifier (event ID of start event)
+ *
+ * Guarantees:
+ * - Same events always produce same state (deterministic)
+ * - Uses longest history for authoritative state
+ * - Invalid moves are skipped without error

  * Live chess game state and move events
  *
- * For real-time chess games, we use a different event structure than NIP-64.
- * NIP-64 is for completed games in PGN format. Live games need individual
- * move events that can be published and subscribed to in real-time.
+ * Uses Jester protocol (kind 30) for compatibility with jesterui.
+ * See: https://github.com/jesterui/jesterui/blob/devel/FLOW.md
  *
- * Event Structure:
- * - Game Challenge (Kind 30064): Challenge another player or open challenge
- * - Game Accept (Kind 30065): Accept a challenge
- * - Chess Move (Kind 30066): Individual move in a live game
- * - Game End (Kind 30067): Game result (checkmate, resignation, draw, etc.)
+ * Key features of Jester protocol:
+ * - Single event kind (30) for all chess messages
+ * - Content is JSON with: version, kind (0=start, 1=move), fen, move, history
+ * - Full move history included in every move event
+ * - Event linking via e-tags: [startId] or [startId, headId]
  *
- * All events use 'd' tag with game_id to group moves from the same game
+ * This enables:
+ * - Easy game reconstruction from any single move event
+ * - Tolerance for missing intermediate moves
+ * - Compatibility with jesterui and other Jester clients

+/**
+ * Integration tests for ChessStateReconstructor with Jester protocol.
+ *
+ * These tests verify that the reconstruction algorithm produces correct,
+ * deterministic game states from Jester events (kind 30).
+ *
+ * Jester Protocol:
+ * - Single event kind (30) for all chess messages
+ * - Content is JSON with: version, kind, fen, move, history
+ * - Start events have content.kind=0 and reference START_POSITION_HASH via e-tag
+ * - Move events have content.kind=1 and reference [startEventId, headEventId] via e-tags
+ * - Full move history is included in every move event
+ * - No separate accept event - acceptance is implicit when opponent makes first move
+ *
+ * Test Categories:
+ * 1. Basic game lifecycle (challenge, moves, end)
+ * 2. Move ordering and reconstruction from history
+ * 3. Game end conditions (checkmate, resignation)
+ * 4. Viewer perspective (white player, black player, spectator)
+ * 5. Determinism tests
