prosolis 25ea23f9d9 Phase 5C (rosters): T3 polish + feywild T4-spread fix ...

Phase 5-B's exit named two follow-ups: T3 below band (manor 39 /
underforge 47 vs 55-75) and the T4 spread (feywild 59 vs underdark
88, 30pp asymmetry). Phase 5-C re-runs the Phase 4-A trace on the
four affected zones under the shipped Phase 5-B cell and applies
roster knobs only (IsElite + SpawnWeight; no bestiary stat-block
touches).

TestExpeditionBalance_Phase5C_OutlierDiagnostic names the killer
per zone:

  manor_blackspire (53%): Vampire Spawn (72% win, 42 kills) +
    Revenant (16% win, 31 kills at SW=1, can't go lower). First
    attempt trimmed VS SW 3 -> 2 and backfired by concentrating
    elite share on Revenant (kills jumped to 48); reverted.
  underforge (49.5%): Fire Elemental (57 kills, 61hp/win) +
    Salamander (33 kills) carry the lethality; Helmed Horror only
    100%-win elite but SW=1, no dilution effect.
  feywild_crossing (54%): only 2 elites in the pool; Fomorian
    (50% win, SW=1) still pulls 25% of elite picks and owns 65
    kills.
  underdark (86%): Drow at SW=7 fills nearly half of standard
    rolls at 100% win / 1.1hp loss -- free-HP filler.

Roster changes:

  manor    Banshee promoted to elite SW=2 (was standard SW=3,
           99.6% win). Soft 4th elite slot dilutes Revenant share
           ~14% -> ~11%. Standards collapse to Shadow+Poltergeist
           (>=99% win).

  underforge  Helmed Horror SW 1 -> 3. Three-way elite pool drops
              Fire Elemental's share from ~44% to ~33%.

  feywild  Green Hag promoted to elite SW=2 (was standard SW=4).
           Adds soft 3rd elite + removes a 16hp/win standard.
           Standards become Redcap+Will-o-Wisp+Quickling.

  underdark  Drow SW 7 -> 5 (light trim per the user's "lift
             trailers, don't nerf leaders" stance). Standards
             shift toward Hook Horror / Drow Mage.

Phase 1 matrix after Phase 5-C (200 trials, Fighter @ centerline):

  T1  88.5%  spread  1.0   (in band 70-90)
  T2  74.5%  spread 15.0   (in band 62-82)
  T3  56.7%  spread  0.5   (in band 55-75)  +13.5pp
  T4  77.0%  spread 13.0   (over band 45-65, matches 5-B target;
                            spread halved from 25.5)
  T5  58.0%  spread 40.0   (abyss_portal 38% is the residual)

T3 mean lifted +13.5pp; both zones inside band with 0.5pp residual
spread. T4 spread halved (25.5 -> 13.0pp) by lifting feywild
+11.5pp and trimming underdark -4.5pp. T1/T2/T5 untouched.

No test debt -- no production tests pin SpawnWeight or IsElite on
the changed entries (TestMonsterKillTags_GatesKnownMonsters checks
vampire_spawn tags only, unaffected). -short suite green.
