prosolis 4934383a9a J3 D8-f #2: T4 difficulty lift (leaders-define-band) + feywild fork1 soft-lock fix ...

T4 monster tuning so martial leaders land in the 60-75% band (underdark
59/80, feywild 65/84 at L10/L12, n=50); casters trail (class-side gap that
monster tuning provably can't compress -- Pass 1 showed casters pinned at 0%
while martials moved). T5 deferred (walls everyone at its L12 floor; needs an
L15-16 corpus).

- dnd_bestiary.go: underdark elite/boss HP+AC up + caster-lethal proc cuts
  (mind_flayer/drow_mage/roper); feywild HP+AC up.
- bestiary_srd.go: feywild multiattack profiles (fomorian/night_hag/green_hag)
  + Thornmother 2->3 lashes -- HP/AC alone didn't move feywild's low-damage
  roster; multiattack is what pulls facerolling martials into band.
- zone_graph_feywild_crossing.go: free fork1's marsh edge. fork1 was the only
  fork in the game with every exit skill-locked (CHA+Perception, no LockNone)
  and deterministic no-retry rolls -- a prod SOFT-LOCK stranding ~60% of
  players (low CHA+WIS). Kept grove's CHA bargain as a bonus route.
- expedition_sim.go: firstUnlockedForkChoice -- sim fork policy picks the
  first unlocked option instead of blind 'go 1' (which looped forever on
  locked forks); halts fork_all_locked if none.
- tests: graph-wide TestZoneGraphs_NoSoftLockedFork + fork1 free-path guard.
