Worker now self-clocks; no heartbeats needed

GameRunner exposes pending work via a new hasPendingTurns() so the worker can check whether more ticks need to be processed.
Worker auto-runs ticks: as soon as it initializes or receives a new turn, it calls processPendingTurns() and loops executeNextTick() while hasPendingTurns() is true. No more "heartbeat" message type; the worker no longer depends on the main thread’s RAF loop to advance the simulation.
Client main thread simplified:
Removed CATCH_UP_HEARTBEATS_PER_FRAME, the heartbeat loop, and the lastBeatsPerFrame tracking.
keepWorkerAlive now just manages frame skipping + draining. When it decides to render (based on renderEveryN), it drains pendingUpdates, merges them, updates GameView, and runs renderer.tick().
Because rendering a batch always implies draining, we restored the invariant that every GameView.update is paired with a layer tick() (no more lost incremental updates).
MAX_RENDER_EVERY_N is now 5 to keep the queue from growing too large while the worker sprints.
