Left action panel revised to show triggers list + Create Token/Auto-Arrange.
CMD DMG badges added to center life-panel score areas (click opens matrix).
Removed renderEnhancedPanels calls that split the battlefield on damage adjust.
Added encoding='utf-8' to all bare open() calls across 17 Python files to
prevent cp1252 crashes on MTG card text with smart quotes/em-dashes.

Forge sends cmdr_dmg as a dict keyed by opponent seat (e.g. {"0": 14,
"2": 7}). _encode_global read it raw and crashed on `dict / 21.0`.
Fix: resolve cmdr_dmg to a scalar at the read site — sum dict values if
it's a dict, cast to int if it's already a number, default to 0.
This is defensive for all call paths (live Forge IPC, JSONL training,
_build_encoder_snapshot pre-collapsed int) so no upstream change needed.
Previously _encode_global() always computed:
total_power = creatures * 3 (heuristic)
Now reads p.get('total_power', 0) first, falling back to the heuristic
only when the key is absent (legacy JSONL snapshots without Step 4 data).
Also wires total_toughness, artifacts, and enchantments into _empty_player()
so padding players have consistent keys.
Implements the three approved Phase 5 architecture decisions:
1. Zone embedding boundary: add explicit documentation in StateDimensions
and StateEncoder._encode_zones making the 6144-dim zero-padded zone
contract visible to future maintainers.
2. SQLite WAL online learning store: new OnlineLearningStore class backed
by WAL-mode SQLite for concurrent read/write on single-machine baseline.
New /api/policy/decide endpoint collects decisions during inference.
Stats endpoint at /api/policy/decide/stats.
3. Forge-only default weights: change ppo_weight default from 0.5 to 0.0
across scope.py, DistillationConfig, DatasetConfig, and CLI defaults.
Add MIXED_MODE_PRESETS dict with forge_only, forge_90_10, forge_80_20
presets. Distill/start endpoint now accepts a "preset" parameter.
27 new tests covering all three decisions (all passing).
