Closes #64

Changes

1. Fixed debuff corruption bug

community_drama debuff's applyFn was doing G.codeBoost *= 0.7 — directly mutating the persistent boost multiplier. Since updateRates() runs on every building purchase, project buy, and click, this stacked the penalty exponentially (0.7^n after n calls). After ~10 actions with the debuff active, codeBoost was effectively zero.

Fix: Changed to G.codeRate *= 0.7 — applies the 30% penalty to the computed per-tick rate only. When the debuff is resolved and removed, the rate returns to normal since boost state was never touched.

2. Persisted playTime across sessions

playTime was defined in globals but never incremented and never saved/loaded. Now:

Incremented by dt each tick in tick()
Included in saveGame() save data
Added to loadGame() whitelist for restoration

fix: debuff corruption — community_drama no longer mutates codeBoost ad901b1f18

applyFn was multiplying G.codeBoost by 0.7 on every updateRates() call
(building purchase, project, click, etc.), permanently degrading it.
After 10 calls the boost was effectively zero.

Fix: apply penalty to G.codeRate (computed per-tick) instead of
G.codeBoost (persistent multiplier). Debuffs must never mutate boost state.

fix: persist playTime across sessions

playTime was defined in globals but never incremented and never
included in save/load. Now incremented each tick and persisted
in localStorage via the whitelist and save data.
