Add public faction-sheet inspectors and a twelve-faction gallery

Add an enlarged public sheet beneath each player, available while actions are
pending. Only faction identity and table rules mode enter the reader; it sends
no action and receives no private player data. Basic/Advanced preview explicitly
leaves the table mode unchanged. Native mode control, keyboard scrolling,
Escape/focus restoration and internal links use existing dialog components.
The internal gallery covers all twelve factions with bundled Homeworld artwork.

Share every faction's Basic and Advanced paragraphs with the main reference.
Replace Richese's generic placeholder, centralize Ecaz/Moritani guidance from
settled contracts, correct CHOAM Auditor/Baliset/Jubba availability and align the
Fremen/Ecaz Sietch Tabr exception. Full printed text, unresolved powers and
combined-rule acceptance remain explicit. No new rule, AI strategy or gate.

Four focused tests cover all12 identities, shared paragraphs, artwork files,
internal links, mode separation, gallery defaults and per-viewer busy controls.
The first busy-control assertion falsely matched CSS disabled variants; it now
checks actual disabled attributes. All16 related focused cases pass. Independent
review caught missing Moritani optionality and stale Fremen exception text;
those were fixed and final review found no material issue. Auditor limits and
full actual-card cancellation cost were checked against the existing contract.
Types, lint, all 5000 offline tests and production build pass on stable source.
No API/auth/persistence changes; HTTP tests were not repeated.

Browser QA reused the existing two-player Basic auction without game actions.
Both own and opposing inspectors work; Enter opens, Escape closes and returns
focus, reopening resets Basic, and Advanced preview explicitly preserves the
Basic table. ArrowDown scrolls the focused long sheet. At390px, dialog359x828,
scroll client/width342 without horizontal overflow,16px text and44px controls.
Gallery334px fits without overflow; Richese, Ecaz and Moritani selection and
Advanced paragraphs render, faction change resets Basic and bundled art loads.
Internal help and Advanced Moritani links expand their topics. Back and refresh
preserve four hand cards and the pending minimum bid2; normal viewport restored.
Screenshot capture timed out; full visual/screen-reader acceptance remains open.

All 1539 opening games, 3259 saved seats and auxiliary rows
remain identical, including the QA room. SQLite integrity and foreign keys pass.
No new games, server restart, migration, reset or recurring automation.
