In a dead-drawn endgame — the two most recent journal moves are both
passes, so the board and the robot's rack are frozen and the robot is
bound to pass again — the robot still waited out its long late-game think
time (up to 90 min) before passing, needlessly dragging out a decided game.

Shorten that delay to a [0.8, 1.5]x band around the human's last-move think
time (the gap between the last two journal entries), clamped to [30s, 8min]
and taken as a min with the normal schedule, so the robot never moves
slower. A slow human collapses to the 8-min cap; a fast human is tracked,
with the floor keeping the robot from passing suspiciously instantly. The
anchor reads the move journal only (no schema change), stays deterministic
from the seed, and still defers to the sleep window.

RobotTurns now carries EndgamePass + OppLastMove, filled by one batched
journal query on the scan; the honest-AI single-game trigger keeps the
normal path (it moves at once). NextMoveAt (admin ETA) is left as the
normal-schedule upper bound.
