Fuse the standalone ship-class designer (Phases 17/18) into a sidebar calculator: live mass/speed/attack/defence/bombing results, a planet build-rate readout, single-target goal-seek, a modernization-cost mode, and auto reach circles on the map for the selected planet.
pkg/calc becomes the single source for the new math (no mirroring): extract BombingPower from the engine model and the per-turn ship-production loop from controller.ProduceShip into pkg/calc (engine now delegates), and add inverse goal-seek solvers in pkg/calc/solve.go. Thin-bridge the combat, planet-build, and solver functions through ui/core/calc + ui/wasm and rebuild core.wasm.
Remove the standalone designer view/route; the ship-classes table and the view/bottom menus open the calculator via a shared request store.
Docs: rewrite ui/PLAN.md Phase 30, adjust Phase 34 (realistic forecast + CAP/COL ownership), add ui/docs/calculator-ux.md, extend calc-bridge.md, fix navigation.md; remove ui/CALCULATOR.md.

Phase 17 lights up the ship-class table and designer active views,
extends the order-draft pipeline with createShipClass and
removeShipClass commands, and projects pending Save/Delete actions
through applyOrderOverlay so the table reflects the player's
intent before auto-sync lands. The plan is corrected in the same
patch: per game/rules.txt, ship classes are designed once and
cannot be edited — the engine has no Update command, so the UI
exposes only Create + Delete.
