prosolis 9a4a93e72e Phase 2c (roster gate): dilute single-boss elite pools ...

Each zone's elite pool was a single SpawnWeight=1 over-tier boss, so
InterruptElite bracket rolls auto-picked that boss 100% of the time.
The post-2b tier-lethality trace named these one-shots (Warchief, Hag,
Roper, Young Red Dragon) as the dominant remaining death source.

Promotes one mid-tier alt per zone to IsElite (underforge gets two
since fire_elemental was itself a non-elite killer). Boss SW=1 stays;
alt SW 3-4 gives the boss ~17-25% elite-roll share. pickZoneEnemy also
excludes IsElite from the standard pool, so promotion softens standard
encounters by one mid-difficulty entry — each zone still has 3-4
standard entries left. Crypt-Valdris already dual-elite, untouched.

Promotions: worg, owlbear, aboleth_thrall, vampire_spawn,
salamander+fire_elemental, drow_elite_warrior, night_hag,
dragonborn_cultist, hezrou.

Phase 1 matrix delta (200 trials/cell, Fighter, centerline):
  goblin_warrens: 0% → 3.0% completion (first non-zero T1 reading)
  sunken_temple:  0% → 0.5%
  dragons_lair:   death 100% → 60% (40% starve — different failure)
  underdark:      death 100% → 90% (10% starve)
  feywild:        death 100% → 92% (8% starve)
  T3 cells still 100% death — next pass is global supply/threat levers.

Tier-lethality trace shows Drow Elite Warrior + Dragonborn Cultist
spawning and being winnable, with arcs stretching to 7-10 encounters
instead of fresh-entry one-shots.
