beacon: fix offline progress to award rescues, ops, and trust

Offline gains were missing rescues, ops, and trust — players with

resources are calculated at 50% offline efficiency.

Also includes event system overhaul: active events with durations,
resolve costs, auto-expiry, event UI rendering, and save/load support.
