Camp: heal on pitch; ambient cooldown 3h → 6h

!camp now applies long-rest effects (HP, spell slots, exhaustion,
threat -5, Underforge heat) immediately instead of waiting for the
06:00 UTC briefing. New CampState.RestApplied flag stops
processOvernightCamp from re-applying at briefing — it just strikes
the camp.

Also dials ambient cooldown 3h → 6h so a workday gives ~1–2 hits
instead of ~3.
