+- `make check-fact-ids` target for manual fact_id validation

 - Sprint 5 "Live" team briefings — copy (6 tickets), client (2), CI (1), joint coordination for content-at-scale sprint targeting FRIEND packs, voice patterns, NPC style guide, PC-as-NPC authoring, UI microcopy, FactId validation
 - Live server mode (`make game`) — single command builds server, launches client with TCP connection, auto-kills server on exit; `make stop` helper for manual cleanup
