Fix the pause: it would not hide, it was off centre, and it was too small

Three faults in 1.0.4, and the first was the serious one.

  1. It never went away. Core hides the overlay with `#pause { display: none }`
     and shows it with `#pause.paused { display: flex }`. 1.0.4 styled the BARE
     #pause with display:flex, which wins on specificity, so unpausing removed
     the class and changed nothing — GAME PAUSED sat over the table for the rest
     of the session. Every rule here is now scoped to `.paused` and `display` is
     not set anywhere.

  2. It was off centre because I repositioned it. Core already centres it: a
     full-width band at top calc(50vh - 100px), column flex, centred both ways,
     pointer-events none. That layout was correct and 1.0.4 fought it with
     left/bottom/transform. It is left alone now; only the height changes, and
     the top moves up by exactly half the extra so the centring holds.

  3. It was small: a 322x116 panel in the corner. It is now core's full-width
     band at 300px with a 170px dial — against core's own 100px — and the
     caption at 24px to match core's.

Guarded: check-behaviour now parses the stylesheet and fails any rule that sets
display on an unscoped #pause. Verified it bites. It strips CSS comments first,
because the first version of the guard reported the comment explaining the
guard — which is exactly what the template guard did last time, so that is twice
now and the lesson is written down properly.

Verified by driving the real toggle: running → display none, box 0x0, no class;
paused → display flex, 341x302, centre X exactly on the viewport centre;
unpaused again → display none, box 0x0.

Version 1.0.5.

/* ============================================================
THE PAUSE — a uniselector, stepping
============================================================
Foundry's pause is a <figure id="pause"> holding an <img class="fa-spin"> and a
<figcaption>. Both are replaced here without touching the markup.
Foundry's pause is <figure id="pause"> holding an <img> and a <figcaption>, and core
hides it with `#pause { display: none }` / shows it with `#pause.paused { display:
flex }`. The first version of this styled the bare #pause with display:flex and so
overrode the hide — the panel never went away when the game unpaused. EVERY rule here
that could affect visibility or layout is therefore scoped to `.paused`, and `display`
is not set anywhere.
Core also already centres it: a full-width band, 180px tall, at top calc(50vh - 100px),
column flex, centred both ways, pointer-events none. That layout is correct and is
left alone — only its size and its looks change here. The first version repositioned
it with left/bottom and pushed it off centre for the trouble.
A uniselector is the stepping switch inside a telephone exchange: an arm that clicks
round one contact at a time, hunting for a free line. It is the right object for this
game — the department's whole business is a machine that says where things belong,
and OPEN DAY is set inside one. Eleven contacts, because eleven minutes is the
interval this setting keeps coming back to.
round one contact at a time, hunting for a free line. The department's whole business
is a machine that says where things belong, and OPEN DAY is set inside one. Eleven
contacts, because eleven minutes is the interval this setting keeps returning to.
It STEPS rather than sweeps. A continuous spin reads as a loading throbber; a
discrete click every 700ms reads as a machine working through a list, which is what
the department is doing while the table is out of the room.
No new text: Foundry's own caption is localised and this only restyles it. A string
hardcoded here would be one the lang file could never reach.
