Closes #18

Changes

  • Fixed floating-point precision bug: numbers >= 1e54 now use string-based chunking (toExponential digit extraction) instead of Math.pow division, which loses precision beyond ~54 bits
  • Integrated into fmt(): numbers at undecillion+ scale (10^36) automatically switch from abbreviated form (1.0UDc) to spelled-out words (one undecillion)
  • Verified: spellf() correctly handles 0 through 10^303 (centillion) using all 320 place value names

Educational effect

When resources hit cosmic scales, digits become meaningless but NAMES give them soul. The player now sees one undecillion instead of 1.0UDc — teaching the actual names of number scales.

burn: Implement spellf() full number formatting (P0 #18) d467348820 
- Fixed floating-point precision bug: numbers >= 1e54 now use string-based
  chunking (toExponential digit extraction) instead of Math.pow division,
  which drifts beyond ~54 bits of precision
- Integrated into fmt(): numbers at undecillion+ scale (10^36) automatically
  switch from abbreviated form ('1.0UDc') to spelled-out words ('one undecillion')
- Verified: spellf() correctly handles 0 through 10^303 (centillion)
- All 320 place value names from NUMBER_NAMES array work correctly

The educational effect: when resources hit cosmic scales, digits become
meaningless but NAMES give them soul.
