V1.32.0: battles that keep to the fight

- The scene description shows during a battle only between rounds (while
  the first in the order is on turn), and always before and after it
- Combatant details start closed in a battle: the spotlight has whoever is
  on turn, or on a narrow screen their own card opens
- While a battle is under way, Add to the scene, Experience and Rewards
  fold to their titles
- Button labels wrap inside their buttons instead of spilling out
- Sticky turn order and side column follow the measured top bar height
- Phone: quick stats no longer sits on Log out, incoming rolls clear the
  bottom bar, the damage bar no longer scrolls on its own
- Docs updated; all packages at version 1.32.0

 - **Stricter battles.** A spell with no slot of its level or higher left

   in hand only as the battle begins or on their own turn after attacking.

+In a battle every card's details start closed, so the list stays short: on a
