test(engine): guard offline-loop safety and harden purity test

- save.test.ts: add regression test proving loop actions do NOT start
  or yield during offline catch-up (applyOfflineProgress replays
  tickGame directly; maybeStartLoopAction is never called, so an
  enabled loop with no active action stays idle and yields 0).

- purity.test.ts: extend FORBIDDEN list to catch environment APIs
  (Date.now(), localStorage., indexedDB., idb-keyval import, document.,
  window., requestAnimationFrame()) in addition to the existing
  React/react-dom/zustand import guards. Patterns are scoped to call
  sites and member-access forms so prose comments (e.g. save.ts's
  "Date scheduling" doc comment) do not false-positive. lz-string is
  intentionally omitted — it is a pure compression library.

- NavRail.tsx: add sr-only "New story" span alongside the aria-hidden
  pulse dot so screen readers can perceive the unread-story badge.
