The cycle regression gate did a fresh page.goto() for each of 240 games in one
browser context. Around game ~100 the accumulated resources made
page.waitForFunction time out (30s), failing the gate on ~88% of runs — a
long-standing flaky-CI issue, not a product regression (the 18 e2e tests always
pass).
Load the page once and reset each game via a new __FERROUS_DEBUG__.newGame(seed,
drawThree) bridge method (added to game.js — it was already in play.html).
cycle_metrics.js now navigates once, then loops newGame() + runAutoplay with no
per-game reload, so the run stays fast and stable.
