Keep popup instructions readable until continued

Show concise progress during first room create/join; reserve persistent recovery instructions for saved/uncertain attempts. Retain completed-action text until a local Continue button, without gating rules or AI. Preserve unread text across backgrounding, bounded summaries, mute and private-safe feedback. Fix the container QA helper path-import collision.

Verified: typecheck, lint, 5200 offline tests, 52 HTTP tests and production build. Delayed/lost-response browser checks prove progress, refresh recovery and exact retry without duplicates. Notice stayed for over 47 seconds while the QA game progressed; Continue advances only presentation. Mobile 16px/44px controls verified. Existing games preserved. Container/deployed acceptance follows publication.

## Bursts, refresh and controls
Each notice lasts 1.5 seconds and does not intercept pointer or keyboard input.
Each notice stays visible until the player chooses **Continue** or switches
notices off. Continue dismisses only this local message; it does not submit a
game action, delay AI progress or pause a saved decision. Notices do not move
keyboard focus or open a modal. Only the notice itself intercepts pointer input;
the rest of the table remains usable. Regular text is at least 14 pixels, with
a 44-pixel minimum button height and scrolling for a short viewport.
The queue holds at most three notices including the visible one. When more
actions arrive, older pending notices merge into a count beside the most recent
action in that group; their individual details remain in the table chronicle.
A new burst never replaces the currently displayed notice. After arrivals stop,
the visible notice and pending queue finish within 4.5 seconds, rather than
retaining minutes of old events.
A new burst never replaces the currently displayed notice. Continue displays
the next queued notice, if any, until that notice is also dismissed.

successive bursts during an active notice, exact represented counts and the
initial nonblocking output, plus stale/duplicate sequence handling and silent
