Merge pull request 'feat(ads): VK post-move interstitial + retire deprecated hint_balance/paid_account' (#229) from feature/ads-interstitial into development

Cooldowns were tracked per kind ({move,hint}), so a hint ad and a move ad
did not see each other: after a hinted move's ad the move timer was still
zero, and the next plain move fired an ad immediately — two ads within a
minute, under the cooldown. Track a single shared last-shown time; the kind
only selects the required gap (hint 1m, move 5m, vs_ai 30m) measured from the
last interstitial of any kind. A hint can still fire on its shorter gap
(D30's "independent" hint cooldown), but never stacks a second ad within a
cooldown.

Tests: a hint uses the shorter shared gap; a move does not stack onto a
just-shown hint ad.

+
+**Delivery & baked decisions.** Shipped as a linear PR stack (owner's choice), Robokassa first.
+Resolved: match the order by a Robokassa **`Shp_order`** custom parameter, not the numeric `InvId`
+(an order id is a uuid); idempotency key = the order id (`provider_payment_id = order_id`); the НПД
+receipt is formed **shop-side in the Robokassa cabinet**, so no `Receipt` parameter is sent; a
+chargeback **never drives the balance negative** (D27 stands, `balances_chips_chk` kept), so E5 is
+**schema-free** (no migration, no contour wipe). Delivered on `feature/payment-intake-robokassa`:
+the offer page (`/offer/`), the order/`fund` engine (idempotent, honours an expired order), the
+`internal/robokassa` adapter, the `POST /wallet/order` + internal Result-callback handlers (a D36
+confirmed-email gate on `direct`), the pending reaper, the `wallet.order` edge wire + the public
+`/pay/*` routes, the Wallet purchase CTA, the contour deploy env (IsTest forced), and the
+`payment_events` dispatcher — an in-app wallet-refresh push (KindNotification `"payment"`) with a
+self-closing provider-return page (the payment opens in a separate window) and a return-focus
+refetch fallback. The **VK Votes rail** is delivered too: the client opens
+`VKWebAppShowOrderBox({item: order_id})`; a two-phase signed server callback (`get_item` → the pack
+title + vote price; a chargeable `order_status_change` → the same `Fund` with source=`vk`, idempotent
+on VK's own order id) is verified at the gateway with the app protected key (`GATEWAY_VK_APP_SECRET`,
+already deployed) and proxied to the backend intake. The **Telegram Stars rail** is delivered on
+`feature/payment-intake-tg-stars`: only the bot reaches Telegram, so the **invoice is minted by the
+bot** — on the `wallet.order` path the gateway sends a new `CreateInvoice` command over the reverse
+bot-link and the bot returns the `createInvoiceLink` (XTR) in its Ack, handed to the client's
+`WebApp.openInvoice`. The bot answers `pre_checkout_query` via a new bot→gateway **`ValidatePreCheckout`**
+unary (backed by the backend: the order must exist, be still creditable and **not already paid** — the
+reusable-invoice double-pay guard — with a matching amount); the decline reason is localised to the
+order account's language. A completed `successful_payment` is persisted to a pure-Go **SQLite outbox**
+(`modernc.org/sqlite`) then forwarded by a new bot→gateway **`ForwardPayment`** unary into the same
+`Fund` (source=`telegram`, idempotent on `telegram_payment_charge_id`, honours an expired order),
+re-driven at startup and every 30 s. The rail is wired by `TELEGRAM_STARS_OUTBOX_DIR` (defaults to the
+bot `/data` volume) but stays **inert until a chip pack carries an XTR price**, so seeding a Stars price
+in the admin is the go-live. Finally **refunds** are delivered on `feature/payment-intake-refunds`: a
+single `Refund` engine (`internal/payments`) reverses a paid order best-effort, exactly once —
+idempotent on `(provider, provider_refund_id)`, revoking the funded chips **floored at 0** (never
+negative, D27), and recording the unrecoverable remainder (chips already spent) as a per-account
+**loss + abuse flag** in the new additive `payments.account_risk` table (read by the E7 report). The
+refund ledger row's chip delta is what was actually reclaimed (the ledger stays reconcilable); the
+full reversal rides in its snapshot; the order stays `paid`. **No rail pushes an unsolicited refund**
+— all are admin-triggered (E7): Robokassa refund API / cabinet (auto-polling deferred — a worker not
+worth it at low chargeback volume), VK via support, Telegram `refundStarPayment`. `failed` events are
+not wired (no rail signals a hard post-charge server decline). The migration is **additive** (a new
+table only), so E5 stays rollback-safe / no contour wipe. That closes E5. Deferred to a later stage:
+hiding the ad banner on a no-ads purchase (a spend-path `NotifyBanner`, with the owner's agreement).

+(`VKWebAppShowNativeAds`, both `reward` and `interstitial`) expose **only a client-side `data.result`

+guarded by a server **daily + hourly cap** (config `reward_daily_cap` / `reward_hourly_cap`, default
+50 / 10) that is both anti-abuse and an economic conversion lever (limits free chips so players buy);
+the cooldown state for the interstitial is **client-mirrored** (owner's pick). Delivered on

+order-less, idempotent on a client nonce, floored by the caps, payout from config
+`rewarded_payout_chips` default 0 = off), the `wallet.reward` edge op returning the updated wallet
+(with `reward_chips` gating the "watch for chips" CTA), and a **contour test stub** (`VITE_ADS_STUB` →
+a toast instead of a real ad; prod always real). A temporary diagnostic confirmed on the contour that
+VK returns **only `{result:true}`** (no token/signature) — client-attested is final, no hardening
+possible; the diagnostic is removed. The slice also **corrects the VK-iOS freeze to purchase-only**
+(rewarded on VK-iOS earns chips, which the old blanket "spend freeze" then blocked from spending —
+Apple forbids only *buying* in-app values, not spending or earning them; `vkFrozen()` now gates only
+`CreateOrder`, not `spendableSources`, so VK-wallet chips spend on VK-iOS). Delivered on

+only** (never a pass / exchange / resign), VK-only, offline banner-only, with the same `VITE_ADS_STUB`
