Starting values and tuning constants are now `pub const` items in a
single Rune file, config.rn, alongside the `person`, `rabbit` and `wolf`
behaviour functions. The behaviours read the constants directly. At
startup the server loads the file from SIM_CONFIG (default: config.rn),
reads and checks every constant, and test-runs each behaviour, so a bad
or missing value stops startup with an error that names it.
- Map width and height can now be configured and are stored in
snapshots.
- The UI's edit limits (max speed, stock, inventory, hunger, energy,
resource amounts) come from the config.
- The in-browser script editor now edits config.rn. Applied edits update
behaviours and tuning values immediately; map size, initial population
and calendar defaults apply on reset.
- The Docker image includes config.rn, and Compose mounts the
repository's copy read-only.
- Documents the config file and how it works in the README.
BREAKING CHANGE: src/behavior.rn has been removed; behaviours now live
in config.rn. The server will not start without a valid config file.
Snapshots no longer store the behaviour script: on restart, config.rn
from disk replaces any edits made in the browser editor.

Use terrain-aware pathfinding for travel toward home and resources so settlers do not get stranded against blocked terrain. Add a startup food reserve, slow hunger accumulation, let villagers return for food sooner, ensure available food is consumed before starvation, and make the first birth check available at the first weekly boundary.

Poll the state endpoint while the WebSocket is not open so browsers that fail to establish the socket still receive initial state and continue updating the UI. Retain WebSocket streaming as the primary transport.

Raise starter settlement capacity above its initial population and allow eligible partnerships one birth opportunity per week instead of a 20% monthly roll. Preserve food and housing constraints and cover both initial growth and per-week births in tests.

Persist calendar units and inclusive life-stage duration ranges, expose them in the UI, and preserve defaults when loading legacy snapshots. Date formatting now derives from calendar settings.
