fix(evennia): Bezalel settings — remove bad port tuples, fix crash (#534)

- Add evennia/bezalel_world/server/conf/settings.py with correct port
  tuples (host string instead of None) to fix Twisted port binding crash.
- Update scripts/fix_evennia_settings.sh to prefer repo settings file
  over sed patching, with fallback for ad-hoc fixes.
- Add evennia/bezalel_world/server/README.md with deployment docs,
  verification steps, and manual fix instructions.

Problem: WEBSERVER_PORTS = [(4101, None)] caused:
  TypeError: 'NoneType' object cannot be interpreted as an integer

Solution: Port tuples now use proper host strings:
  WEBSERVER_PORTS = [(4001, "0.0.0.0")]
  TELNET_PORTS = [(4000, "0.0.0.0")]
  WEBSOCKET_PORTS = [(4002, "0.0.0.0")]

Closes #534

+# Bezalel World Server Configuration
+
+This directory contains the Evennia server configuration for Bezalel, the forge-and-testbed wizard house.
+
+## Quick Start
+
+To fix the Evennia settings on the Bezalel VPS (104.131.15.18):
+
+```bash
+# SSH to Bezalel and run the fix script
+ssh root@104.131.15.18 'bash -s' < scripts/fix_evennia_settings.sh
+```
+
+Or manually:
+
+```bash
+cd /root/wizards/bezalel/evennia/bezalel_world/server/conf
+
+# Copy the fixed settings
+cp ~/timmy-home/evennia/bezalel_world/server/conf/settings.py ./settings.py
+
+# Clean and reinitialize DB
+cd /root/wizards/bezalel/evennia/bezalel_world
+rm -f server/evennia.db3
+/root/wizards/bezalel/evennia/venv/bin/evennia migrate
+
+# Create superuser
+/root/wizards/bezalel/evennia/venv/bin/python3 -c "
+import sys, os
+sys.setrecursionlimit(5000)
+os.environ['DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE'] = 'server.conf.settings'
+import django
+django.setup()
+from evennia.accounts.accounts import AccountDB
+AccountDB.objects.create_superuser('Timmy', 'timmy@tower.world', 'timmy123')
+"
+
+# Start Evennia
+/root/wizards/bezalel/evennia/venv/bin/evennia start
+```
+
+## The Fix (Issue #534)
+
+**Problem:** `WEBSERVER_PORTS = [(4101, None)]` — the `None` tuple value crashes Evennia's Twisted port binding with:
+```
+TypeError: 'NoneType' object cannot be interpreted as an integer
+```
+
+**Solution:** Port tuples MUST include a host string:
+```python
+WEBSERVER_PORTS = [(4001, "0.0.0.0")]
+TELNET_PORTS = [(4000, "0.0.0.0")]
+WEBSOCKET_PORTS = [(4002, "0.0.0.0")]
+```
+
+## Verification
+
+After starting Evennia:
+
+```bash
+evennia status          # Should show Portal and Server running
+ss -tlnp | grep 4000    # Telnet port
+ss -tlnp | grep 4001    # Web port
+ss -tlnp | grep 4002    # WebSocket port
+```
+
+Test connection:
+```bash
+telnet 104.131.15.18 4000
+```
+
