feat(NPCAI): weighted decision engine — agents choose, no rotation Replace fixed MOVE_SCHEDULE rotation with personality-driven weighted choice. - Add PERSONALITY_DICT with per-character room weights, social bias, goal bonuses - Refactor NPCAI.make_choice to weighted sampling via _compute_weights - Remove all _*_choice hardcoded methods (Marcus, Bezalel, etc.) - Add reasoning trace: scene[npc_reasoning] captured each tick - Track per-character decision rationale for debugging - NPCs now weigh: home room affinity, goal alignment, social presence, exploration - Low energy still triggers forced rest - Fallback path ensures movement even without personality data All existing tests pass — movement logic decoupled from test fixtures. Closes #446.
