This PR implements the third level of GOFAI philosophy: Goal-Oriented Autonomy via a Symbolic Planner.

Key Features:

Symbolic Planner (STRIPS-like): A goal-oriented planning system that finds a sequence of actions to reach a desired state. It uses a Breadth-First Search (BFS) over the state space defined by preconditions and effects.
Autonomous Goal Formulation: When the system detects low stability, the planner automatically formulates a plan (e.g., "Divert Power" -> "Stabilize Matrix") to restore the system to a healthy state.
Real-time Planner HUD: A new HUD element "SYMBOLIC PLANNER (STRIPS)" displays the current active plan, providing full visibility into Timmy's long-term intentions.
Integrated with Blackboard: The planner reads the current world state from the Blackboard and writes its formulated plans back for other modules to observe.

Why this is useful:

Autonomy: Allows Timmy to solve complex, multi-step problems without human intervention or cloud-based reasoning.
Predictability: Unlike neural planners, symbolic plans are deterministic and easy to verify.
Intent Transparency: By visualizing the plan, users can understand what Timmy is trying to achieve and how he intends to do it.

Critical Review: Phase 3 (Symbolic Planner)

Strengths:

Goal-oriented autonomy is a major step forward for Timmy's independence.
STRIPS-like planning is transparent and easy to debug.

Weaknesses:

State Explosion: The current state space is tiny. As more variables are added, the BFS search will become inefficient.
Recommendation: Implement a heuristic-based search (A*) or hierarchical task networks (HTN) for more complex goals.
