Subject: [PATCH] fix(hint): arm the vs_ai idle-gate from the warm cache so the
 lock shows without a delay
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

Entering a vs_ai game from the lobby armed the idle-hint countdown only in load() (after
the gameState round-trip), so the lock popped in after a visible delay. Arm it on the
instant warm-cache render in onMount too — the preloadGames-warmed StateView carries
hint_unlock_left_seconds; load() then refreshes the snapshot. A first move (0 seconds
left) stays open.
