- Remove unused card_revealed broadcast + 1s asyncio.sleep in swap handler
(client never handled this message, causing pure dead wait before game_state)
- Defer swap-out (opacity:0) on hand cards to onStart callback so overlay
covers the card before hiding it — eliminates visual gap for all players
- Defer heldCardFloating visibility hide to onStart — held card stays visible
until animation overlay replaces it
- Thread onStart callback through animateUnifiedSwap → _runUnifiedSwap

Full-codebase commenting pass focused on the tricky, fragile, and
non-obvious spots: animation coordination flags in app.js, AI decision
safety checks in ai.py, scoring evaluation order in game.py, animation
engine magic numbers in card-animations.js, and server infrastructure
coupling in main.py/handlers.py/room.py. No logic changes.

Rooms that sit idle (no player actions or CPU turns) for longer than
ROOM_IDLE_TIMEOUT_SECONDS (default 300s) are now automatically cleaned
up: CPU tasks cancelled, players notified with room_expired, WebSockets
closed, and room removed from memory.

The CPU turn chain was awaited inline inside game_lock, blocking the
WebSocket message loop. The end_game message couldn't be processed
until all CPU turns finished. Now check_and_run_cpu_turn launches a
background task and returns immediately, keeping the message loop
responsive. The end_game and leave handlers cancel the task on demand.

Convert CPU turn chain to a cancellable asyncio.Task tracked on Room,
so ending the game or leaving no longer blocks waiting for CPU sleeps.
