Subject: [PATCH 1/3] feat(#597): Hover preview for enemies and tiles

## Summary

Implements deterministic hover preview showing combat outcomes before
committing an action. Color-coded by severity.

## Changes

### New: HoverPreviewManager
- scripts/ui/hover_preview_manager.gd: Tooltip panel that follows mouse
- Shows damage preview, HP after hit, AP cost when hovering enemies
- Shows move cost, elevation bonus, cover info when hovering tiles
- Color-coded severity: green (safe), yellow (warning), red (lethal)
- Panel keeps itself inside viewport bounds

### CombatRoom integration
- Instantiates HoverPreviewManager in UIOverlay during _setup_hud()
- _input() detects mouse motion and updates preview via _update_hover_preview()
- Checks _enemies_node for entity at hovered tile, falls back to tile info
- Only active during PLAYER_TURN; hidden during enemy turn

### Tests
- test_hover_preview.gd: 2 cases for severity display and clear behavior

## Testing

- 392 tests | 0 errors | 0 failures | 72/72 suites
- Headless editor scan: clean

Closes #597

Subject: [PATCH 2/3] feat(#596): Implement Action Undo / Rewind System
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

## Summary

Adds a deterministic undo/rewind system for player actions within a turn.
Players can now undo misclicks or re-experiment with tactics.

## Changes

### New: ActionHistory
- scripts/core/action_history.gd: LIFO stack of state snapshots
- serialize_entity() / restore_entity(): Full entity state capture and restore
- Configurable depth limit (default unlimited per turn)
- Lightweight RefCounted — no autoload needed

### CombatInput signals
- Added action_about_to_execute signal, emitted before attack/move mutations
- Emitted in _execute_attack() and _execute_move_to()

### CombatRoom integration
- Instantiates ActionHistory during _ready
- _push_snapshot() captures player + all enemy states before each action
- _undo_last_action() restores most recent snapshot on Ctrl+Z or Backspace
- Snapshot captured for: keyboard moves, mouse moves, attacks
- History cleared at start of each player turn (fresh stack)
- Visual feedback: brief camera shake + toast message on undo

### Tests
- test_action_history.gd: 4 cases for serialize round-trip, LIFO stack,
  empty noop, and depth limit trimming

## Testing

- 396 tests | 0 errors | 0 failures | 73/73 suites
- Headless editor scan: clean

Closes #596

Subject: [PATCH 3/3] feat(#604): Implement Mid-Run Save & Crash Recovery
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

## Summary

Adds atomic auto-save with rotating FIFO backups, enabling players to
resume runs after crashes or quitting mid-session.

## Changes

### SaveManager extensions
- AUTO_SAVE_DIR, AUTO_SAVE_PATH, AUTO_SAVE_SLOTS constants
- auto_save_run(run_state): Atomic write with tmp→rename, then Steam Cloud sync
- load_auto_save(): Reads auto-save JSON, returns empty Dict on error
- has_auto_save(): Checks if auto-save exists
- delete_auto_save(): Clears all slots
- _rotate_auto_saves(): FIFO rotation (auto→auto_1→auto_2→auto_3)
- _atomic_write_json(): Writes to .tmp then renames to prevent corruption
- _load_json_file(): Graceful JSON parsing (empty Dict on error)

### RunManager integration
- save_run_state() now includes player_entity_snapshot and burden_run_snapshot
- load_run_state() restores player entity and burden snapshots
- _auto_save_current_run() helper called from _enter_room and _enter_moral_eval
- Auto-save triggers at phase boundaries: room entry and moral eval entry

### GameCoordinator / TitleScreen
- TitleScreen: Continue button enabled if main save OR auto-save exists
- GameCoordinator.cmd_continue_game(): Tries auto-save first, falls back to main save

### BurdenManager
- Added get_trigger_count_this_run() and get_last_noun_index() getters

### AutoloadHelper
- Added steam_manager() accessor for Steam Cloud sync

### Tests
- test_auto_save.gd: 4 cases for atomic write, FIFO rotation, corrupt
  file handling, and empty state

## Testing

- 400 tests | 0 errors | 0 failures | 74/74 suites
- Headless editor scan: clean

Closes #604
