- Quote options and labels containing commas so they no longer split
(In Sync: Deep Cuts d12/d15; accusation options in Blue Lantern,
Dead Air, Kalahari Expedition and Masquerade)
- Validation: strict choice options; flag sync options that look split
- Hint sheet: timed games say hints take time off the countdown
- How to Play: hint cost covers timed games

Point the Overtime fixtures comment at the real solver: GAMES-NEW.md Appendix A
and its TypeScript port in server/src/engines/defuse.ts, not the missing
tools/reference/overtime_solver.py.

Add ten new games (18 in total) and the engine features they need.
Story: Dead Air, The Masquerade at Montague House, The Kalahari Expedition,
The Alchemist's Vault, Submerged: Deep Lab Nereid, The Kestrel Bank Job.
Games can now set their own hint penalty and a hard time limit, shown as a
countdown; running out ends the game with the fail ending.
Defuse: Tick Tock: Overtime. Manuals are now rulesets, so each game has its
own solver. Adds indicator lights, per-level strike limits, and the
Passwords, Morse Light and Say It Back modules.
Sync: In Sync: Deep Cuts. Adds telepathy (typed word) and ranking rounds,
and a per-round bar for the key.
Labyrinth: The Drowned Catacombs and The Mirror Maze. Adds one-way gates, a
relative (no compass) Explorer, a mirrored Navigator map, and mazes with a
lantern count other than three. Validation now rejects a maze where a gate
can leave the Explorer stuck.
Difficulty runs from 1 to 5.

Estimates were 2-8x longer than actual playthroughs. Base them on
recorded best times, rounded up to a multiple of 5 minutes, and drop
difficulties to 1-2 keys since no game warrants 3.
