feat(engine): surface upstream move-type counters and replay seek

Two unused-for-free upstream card_game/klondike features:

- GameState now exposes the granular KlondikeStats counters
  (move_to_foundation_count, move_to_tableau_count,
  move_from_foundation_count, flip_up_count) and the win modal shows a
  quiet per-move-type recap line built from them (e.g. "21 to
  foundation - 14 tableau moves - 9 flips")
- wasm ReplayPlayer gains seek(step): clamped jump to any position,
  rewinding via a stored copy of the recorded deal instead of reparsing
  the replay JSON; replay.js Prev now uses it

+- **Replays are now self-contained (schema v4).** A replay stores the dealt
+  board itself via the upstream `card_game` session serializers instead of
+  re-dealing from the seed at playback time, so replays survive RNG and
+  upstream upgrades that change the seed→deal mapping — the failure that had
+  silently broken every stored replay. The web player and web game now
+  exchange the full payload through the wasm layer (the old JS path hardcoded
+  `schema_version: 2`, uploaded empty move lists, and corrupted u64 seeds via
+  `Math.round`), and the replay viewer reports unplayable old-format replays
+  in the caption instead of dying silently. Pre-v4 replays are rejected by a
+  version gate; local histories repopulate with new wins. (#170)
+- **Difficulty-mode wins can upload.** The server's replay `mode` validation
+  now accepts data-carrying `GameMode` variants (previously a 400). (#170)
