Allow Sapho first while preserving unspent Guild timing

At a clean unstarted non-Guild movement boundary, Sapho FIRST now reorders the remaining turn queue and reopens the native Advanced Guild choice. Guild may take its turn ahead or wait while all non-Guild turns retain their relative order. Protect an already granted current Guild turn, keep canceled timing locked and preserve completed turns, payments and last protection. Existing discard continuations and minimal policy options need no new state or signature format. Explain the provisional precedence in the controls and reference.

Validation:7-file97/97, types/lint/build and six original-action/rendered-table programmes. Actual cache1 Sapho, original Guild wait/take, paid completed Richese prefix, Emperor2/Guild1 shipments and native phase completion. An actually dealt Karama cancels TAKE without its privilege being revived; a granted current turn cannot be displaced. Four profiles make eight legal holder/Guild proposals. Corrected an obsolete first exclusion and a fixture that mistook a later response pass for a repeated movement turn; exact failures and then the whole batch pass.

This nonconflicting composition is provisional. Actual competing first, partly completed turns, other ordered actions, direct combined Semuta claim/capture, full modes, final assurance and browser/deployed acceptance remain open. No saved-room/database/reset/restart/deployment operation.

+and [Guild audit](JUICE_OF_SAPHO_ENGINE_AUDIT.md#movement-and-guild) distinguish

+settles that conflict. Under the standing recommended-choice instruction, the
+new composition provisionally admits a nonconflicting first after Guild waits,
+while preserving its native next-boundary timing. This is an implementation
+interpretation, not a retrieved official ruling or unconditional first priority.
+
+At a clean boundary before any remaining combined turn starts, the holder may
+move first in the native remaining queue even while Guild has an unspent turn.
+The existing native timing choice then opens before that reordered turn. Guild
+may take its own turn first or wait, retaining the relative order of every
+non-Guild participant. Existing `guildTimingGranted` permission stays recorded;
+waiting does not consume it or create another Karama response. An ungranted
+out-of-order timing attempt retains its original response. A granted current
+Guild turn remains unavailable for displacement. A Karama-locked timing privilege
+stays locked: Sapho changes order independently without restoring that advantage.
+
+The queue still includes only unfinished turns. Earlier completed turns, paid
+shipments, movement allowances and physical storm order do not reset. Existing
+pending decisions/responses, partly completed turns, reserved cards, no-op checks
+and Sapho-last protection remain. No new game marker or signature format is
+introduced. Reorder and discard before entering native timing; the existing
+Semuta suffix does the same only after original disposal finishes.
+
+The hand panel explains that Guild can still go ahead, and existing minimal
+policies consume the authoritative options. Frozen **7 files97/97**, types/lint/
+build and six original-action/rendered-table programmes pass. Actual public
+host/setup, original dealt Atreides Karama, cache1 and native wait use49 source
+actions. A real paid Richese1 Polar Sink prefix costing2 and explicit end uses55.
+TAKE/WAIT with and without that prefix use12–14 continuation actions; Emperor2
+and Guild1 shipments pay once, non-Guild order remains and every turn ends.
+Granted-current and canceled-TAKE branches fork from48 source actions before
+that wait, use3/2 native choice actions and11/7 continuations to finish the phase.
+The canceled privilege remains locked with its real Karama discarded once.
+Four profiles make eight legal holder/Guild proposals without strategy tuning.
+
+Only unopened original starting-deal/Spice positions and scalar lotteries are
+selected. No postdeal hand, force, wallet, queue, phase or timing receipt is
+installed. Actual GameTable and isolated Sapho controls render offered/busy,
+renewed native Guild choice, granted-current and locked states. Framework aliases
+and CSS stubs mean no browser clicks or visual/deployed acceptance.
+
+Frozen feedback repaired two fixture assumptions: an old LAST regression also
+expected first to remain excluded, and a completed Richese could still allow
+another faction's later response without repeating its movement turn. The
+exact two failures pass, then all97/types/lint/build/runtime pass together.
+The bounded source/continuation review found no need for another saved field
