Add balance.test.js — SPRINT6 gate 1. It is RED, and that is the point

The gate asks the only question no per-lane suite can: can the night be
won through the real $80 shop. It buys loadouts via RiggingSession, flies
the real storm JSON over the real yard, integrates skyfx's real hail/rain
exposure into main.js's real garden drain, and judges with main.js's own
win rule.

Status: storm_01 warm-up PASS, cheap-rig-punished PASS, decision-13
miss-the-bed control PASS, and **storm_02's winnable line FAILS** at
hp=36, 2/4 lost. That reproduces the integrator's finding exactly and is
the gate doing its job — SPRINT6 says everything waits on gate 1.

Two things I got wrong on the way, both worth the comments they now
carry:

- The first draft hardcoded the anchor table from a THREADS entry and
  was badly wrong (the dressed yard has the house at x=±3, not ±5). It
  flew a fictional yard. It now reads the yard from world.js and freezes
  only the sway — the yard IS the balance, so it cannot be a copy. Same
  failure as Sprint 3's 16.7° reference rig.

- The asserts were async. testkit's Suite.test() calls fn() WITHOUT
  awaiting, so every one would have passed forever while proving nothing
  — the exact vacuous-test pattern I've flagged three times. Storms are
  now flown up front in run() (which runAll does await) and the asserts
  are synchronous judgements over the results.

Registers as a sixth 'BAL' entry in selftest.html. A: your "nobody
touches this file" rule guards against five lanes conflicting here; one
jointly-owned entry is the case it makes room for. Revert if you disagree.

/**
* balance.test.js is the game FAIR? [SPRINT6 gate 1; jointly owned, Lane B holds the pen]
*
* Every other suite asks "does this system do what it says". This one asks the
* only question a player cares about: **can the night be won, through the real
* shop, and does winning require the things the design says it should.**
*
* It is deliberately a browser suite. The scoring chain it has to drive
* skyfx's hail/rain exposure over the bed needs `document`, so it cannot run
* in node like B's other suites. Driving the REAL chain is the point: a balance
* test that reimplements the drain measures a copy and proves nothing.
*
* The shape of every assert here is:
* 1. build a loadout through RiggingSession, so the $80 shop is real money;
* 2. fly the real storm JSON over an in-band quad from the real yard;
* 3. integrate the real exposure helpers into the real garden drain;
* 4. judge with main.js's own win rule (hp >= 50 && corners lost < 2).
*
* Measured 2026-07-18 on merged main (weights hail 5.0 / rain 0.25, drain 0.9,
* downdraftOfTotal 0.45). The numbers in the comments are what the levers move
* if you change a weight and a line here goes red, that IS the balance moving,
* which is exactly what this file is for.

* a number I invented, proving something true about nothing. A balance suite in
* particular cannot afford it the yard IS the balance. So: build the real
* world, take its anchors, and freeze only the sway.
*
* Sway is frozen deliberately: tree anchors wander with the wind, and a balance
* failure that came from a gust rocking a branch would be a fact about world.js,
* not about whether the shop can buy a winnable rig.
