Illusion walls shimmer until YOU test them (rules rev 29)

Per the owner's design — and truer to a real table, where the cast is
public: every illusion wall's location is open knowledge, rendered as a
shimmering wall to any player whose eyes have not yet ruled on it.
Testing is an explicit act: tap the shimmer (or bump into it) and a
modal explains the 50/50 and offers 'Roll to test your eyes' — the new
testIllusion command rolls once, then the wall either hardens or
dissolves for you alone. Nobody's verdict is moved by watching someone
else stroll through (the Q3WZ mystery: an automaton walking through
its own round-1 fake). Untested walls block movement and sight without
consuming RNG; the pre-29 lazy belief roll is preserved for stored
games. Automatons doubt free shimmers on their best crossing before
spending any card on that wall.
