The great simplification: every vintage gate collapses, the count restarts at 1

All 50 rooms were retired (backed up on the droplet and in Spaces), so no
ledger needs an old branch to replay: forty revisions of deckRev gates
fold into one canonical ruleset — the newest behavior everywhere. The
ward's arming, the idiot's steering, the lazy illusion roll, the legacy
redirection swap, and the flat wave all leave with their gates; RULES_REV
restarts at 1 for whenever the rules fork again. Old-vintage test pins go
with them. The opening screen now quietly drops seats whose rooms the
server no longer knows, instead of listing them "unreachable" forever.
