97d11e6c7f fix(runtime): name why a placement is parked and fail closed when it cannot resolve
Fixes #284 (plan S1).

A first-entry placement that could not be prepared returned
RetrySetupUnavailable and was re-Advanced every pump forever. Nothing counted
it, nothing named its cause, and nothing distinguished "waiting for something
that will arrive" from "waiting for something that never can". That is why
#281's 43 test failures presented as four unrelated symptoms across App and
Runtime instead of one cause, and why a stuck entity in the live client simply
never appears with no log line to follow.

Worse, the two causes were conflated: 670f307c's missing-world-frame park
reported itself as RetrySetupUnavailable, sending anyone diagnosing it to the
prepared-asset pipeline rather than to the absent local-player Create that
actually publishes the frame.

- RetryWorldFrameUnavailable splits the two causes. Call sites now ask
  IsRetryable() instead of comparing against one reason, so a future retry
  reason cannot be silently reclassified as a hard rejection - the exact way
  this class of bug hides.
- The operation retains its RuntimeSetPositionParkReason, and
  RuntimeSetPositionOwnershipSnapshot reports parked work by cause
  (ParkedAwaitingSetupCollisionCount / ParkedAwaitingWorldFrameCount /
  ParkedPlacementCount), so parked placements appear wherever ledgers are
  already asserted.
- ObserveLocalPlayerCreate records the accepted local-player Create even when
  it carries no landblock - precisely the case where no frame is ever
  published - and ThrowIfWorldFrameUnreachable makes that contradiction
  terminal. Waiting is legitimate only while that Create is outstanding; after
  it, no later pump can supply the frame. Same shape as 01f4791e, which made a
  violated receipt-ledger invariant terminal rather than resumable.

This is observability plus fail-fast. There is no timeout, no retry cap, and
no grace period anywhere in it; retryable work still retries exactly as before
and no placement behaviour changed.

The parked counts are deliberately NOT folded into IsConverged: #277 documents
a far Create legitimately parking for a whole session, so a parked entry at
teardown is not automatically a defect. Wiring them into the connected gates
is carried with #277's service-window conversion, where "legitimately parked"
becomes definable.

Runtime 1,012/1,012. Complete Release solution: 10,834 passed / 4 skipped /
0 failed.

6dcb94ac1b test(runtime): restore the world-frame precondition across first-entry fixtures
670f307c made remote first-entry placement resolve its landblock-local
CreateObject origin through Runtime's world frame
(RuntimeSetPositionState.PrepareMover:1526-1544) and return
RetrySetupUnavailable until that frame exists. Only the accepted local-player
Create publishes it (RuntimeEntityObjectLifetime.RegisterEntityCore:558-570 ->
RuntimePhysicsState.ObserveLocalWorldFrame).

Fixtures that drive remote conductors in a world with no local player - a
state production never occupies, since the player's own Create always precedes
broadcast Creates - therefore parked forever on RetrySetupUnavailable. Their
initial-create residences never retired, which cascaded into rejected
appearance updates, missing canonical bodies, unconverged ownership ledgers,
and a GameRuntime teardown that could not complete stage 10.

The measured blast radius was far larger than the handoff recorded. It claimed
"six selected fixture failures"; a baseline run found 43. The App suite was
fully green at 01f4791e and 670f307c broke 28 tests at once; the Runtime suite
lost 13, twelve of them in RuntimeRemoteFirstEntryStateTests - the exact
conductor that commit gated. Both commits were verified on focused runs only.

The production gate is correct, so nothing here weakens it. It matches App's
own coordinate owner: LiveWorldOriginState is initialized once from the local
player's spawn (LiveEntityHydrationPorts.cs:226) and rebased only by
StreamingOriginRecenterCoordinator.Advance at a teleport boundary - exactly
ObserveLocalWorldFrame's semantics. Every fixture is repaired by supplying the
missing precondition beside the resident landblock it already models, and not
one expected value or assertion was changed.

The mechanism shipped with zero tests. RuntimeWorldFrameTests now pins its
contract: the local player publishes the frame, remotes never do, neighbouring
landblocks convert at 192 m per step, ordinary movement across a landblock
boundary must NOT rebase it, an accepted teleport must, and a zero cell id
neither publishes nor resolves. That "no rebase on ordinary movement" rule is
load-bearing - if it and LiveWorldOriginState ever disagree, remote objects
are placed a multiple of 192 m from where the world is streamed.

Runtime 1,009/1,009; App 4,048 passed / 3 skipped.

Refs #281.
