prosolis c368257896 mischief: the town gets a say before the monster lands ...

M2 — the window between a contract being placed and the monster finding its
target. Anyone can ward the victim (!mischief bless, €25, three max, +10% MaxHP
of temp HP each) or pay the tier delta to send something worse (!mischief
escalate, one step, boss is the ceiling). TwinBee DMs the victim on placement so
they can go and ask for wards.

Escalation money joins the payout basis, so piling on raises the purse the target
walks away with if they live — and an escalator is unsealed on a survival exactly
like the buyer. Cruelty and generosity are the same button.

Both commands are CAS-then-refund: the ward cap and the one-step limit live in
the UPDATE's WHERE clause, because a scramble is precisely when four people press
the button in the same second.

Also fixes a real bug this exposed: the delivery built its fight from the copy of
the contract the due-sweep handed it, but the window keeps writing to an open row
right up to the claim. A last-second escalation was paid for and then delivered
the old tier's monster. The claim is the fence; read on that side of it.
