beacon: add Rescues resource + true ending (The Beacon Shines)

- Added 'rescues' resource: tracks meaningful crisis interventions - Beacon Nodes produce 50 rescues/s, Mesh Nodes produce 250 rescues/s - New project: Volunteer Network — passive rescue generation for Pact players - True ending at 100K rescues with Pact active + harmony > 50 - Rescues resource card appears in UI once beacon/mesh is built - Added rescues to stats panel, save/load, and offline progress - This gives Phase 6 (The Beacon) actual endgame content: the game is now about keeping the light on for people in the dark, not just accumulating numbers
beacon: add auto-save toast notification with elapsed time
