Adds tools/gen_sideb.py — one data-driven builder replacing the copy-pasted
gen_missionN.py pattern — and tools/smoketest.sh, which reports
PASS/FAIL/DISPLAY_UNAVAILABLE instead of the process-is-alive check that has
produced false passes twice now.
NOT verified in-game: the display went to sleep mid-session. Static checks all
pass (luac, check-yaml 0 errors, map refresh, check_assets, make) and the
already-verified m03 hangs identically, confirming it is environmental.

Full base-building map against a live Stream bot holding The Algorithm behind a
defended base. Building the Mastering Studio triggers a scripted all-in
counterattack; silencing The Algorithm wins. Tick scan throttled to 1Hz.
SIDE A is now three missions.

Strike force + The Selector against a Stream transcoder outpost; 6-minute
countdown shown via SetMissionText, master lacquer is cut (killed) if the timer
beats you. Adds the lacquer prop (deliberately untargetable) and ScriptTriggers
on all actor templates, without which Trigger.OnKilled throws at map load.

Replaces the single flat grey tile. Adds tools/build_tiles.py (atlas builder
with edge-blending + tone matching), paint_terrain.py (surgical tile-plane
repaint: asphalt base, concrete pads, dirt blobs, groove patches near wax,
rubble clumps), jitter_wax.py, render_map.py (offline map preview), and
check_assets.py.
Also fixes the arena harness being rigged: both wax fields sat ~12 cells from
BotA and ~18 from BotB, so BotB starved for map reasons, not balance reasons.
Arena wax is now mirrored (7.1/18/18/19.8 from both starts). Seep interval
90 -> 20 after telemetry showed the slower rate still drained both economies.

Wax seeps fix the economy flatline the arena telemetry exposed: both bots hit
cash=0/stored=0 from tick 6250 with no way to recover.
