Bring games 9-18 in line with GAMES-NEW.md:
- Library sorts easiest first, filters by category and difficulty; difficulty 5
shows a Nightmare chip, and a no-hint finish earns Nightmare Survivors.
- Time limits end on "Out of time" (no rank); Deep Lab Nereid's countdown is a
rising water gauge behind the header.
- Evidence Locker search, chapter filter and starred clues (partner sees a count).
- One-shot accusations ask "One shot. Are you both sure?" first.
- Symbol font fallback, tight monospace blocks for grids/keypads/SQL.
- Rank rounds reorder by drag or up/down buttons; reveal highlights #1 and #4.
- Telepathy capped at 30 characters; maze:move accepts forward/left/right/back;
gate buttons read "Gate (won't open from this side)".
- Overtime solver tables checked against Appendix A; keypad generator re-rolls.
- More content checks (rank items, password fixtures, glyphs/gates on traps) and
sanitize tests for all ten new games.
- GAMES.md carries the full spoiler guide for 9-18.

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.
