Persistent Repositioning and Engagement

Sideways moves relative to current facing say “Reposition!” instead of “Advance!”
Empty destinations beyond current movement create persistent routes, move one allowance per turn, and automatically remain ordered next turn.
Persistent routes cancel when blocked or when the formation enters combat.
Surviving melee opponents finish in two adjacent tiles and become visibly interlocked in an Engaged state.
Engaged enemies continue fighting; ordering movement away becomes Disengage.
Disengaging grants the opponent a free strike at 12.5% of normal melee strength, with swordsmen applying their innate 25% mitigation.
Added local overlapping Reposition and Disengage bark assets plus deterministic controller/resolver coverage.
