// Serialising a local game to a durable record and reconstructing it by replay — the offline
// counterpart of the server's game rehydration (backend replay: engine.New(seed) + replayMove per
// journal row). A record carries the seed, the rules, the seat metadata and the move journal; the
// board, bag and racks are NOT stored — they are rebuilt by replaying the journal on a fresh engine
// seeded the same way (the bag is deterministic from the seed and the sequence of operations).
//
// The journal is in alphabet-index space, which is dictionary-independent: a variant's alphabet
// (Latin 26 / embedded Russian 33) is fixed, so the same journal replays against any dictionary
// version of that variant (only the word list changes, not the indices). The dictionary version is
// pinned in the record, and replay applies each recorded move against that dawg.
