Sierra soul: 250-point scoring, real gated exits, two deaths, vanishing Beckies

Browse Source 
Uses the new MRPGI features (room names/enter prose, exit_flags, points,
kills, consumes, visible_flag/hidden_by_flag). Golden path re-verified:
250/250 and the win; gate tests cover all four locked exits, the kebab
death, and the improvised-words Becky-grue.

Physical access is open (the engine has no flag-gated exits); progression is
gated Infocom-style through flags, dialogue, and the win condition.
Progression is gated through flags, dialogue, and the win condition — plus
four real flag-gated exits (engine feature added for this game): the car door
(`seatbelt-freed`), the kitchen side door (`side-door-open`), the vine climb
(`noticed-vine`), and the beaded curtain (`back-room-open`).
**Scoring:** 250 points on offer (`max_score` in game.json), Sierra-style —
takes, first successful uses, and dialogue-choice flag flips all pay out.
**Deaths:** the mouldy kebab (eat it despite two warnings), and improvising
the five words at the hive (the Becky-grue). Death restarts the day.
**Vanishings:** the poster fragments exist only after the frenzy
(`visible_flag`), and the Beckies leave the entrance for good after dispersal
(`hidden_by_flag`). The lollipop is consumed when given (`consumes`).

**Score: 0 of 250** when you start, Sierra-style. There are two ways to die:
one is in your car, clearly labelled, and you will eat it anyway; the other is
improvising sacred words at a hive of possessed superfans. Death restarts the
