feat: Module 12, Combat (attack as one Sequence, Taunt, defender-first as a queue priority, end of turn; Bonechewer Brawler as the Expansion Drop)

Adds course/12-combat: lesson, scenarios, nine test_12 tests in both tracks,
the cumulative reference (Module 11's plus combat) and the drop. The Damage
action carries per-target hits with a priority; react stable-sorts its Queue by
priority before order of play, so the triggers answering the defender's Damage
Event go first. orderAttack/canAttack/endTurn join the harness (orderAttack
because attack(id) already reads Attack). endOfTurn triggers fire, so Drakkari
Enchanter's data is live. Test Bell is scoped to Module 12's cards. Harness
contract, catalog, research notes and earlier lessons' forward pointers follow.

+# Module 12 reference engine (TypeScript)
+
+The course's own engine as of the end of Module 12: Module 11's engine (Part I's card engine, Part II's grid engine with conditions, and SpellGrid joining them), with combat and the end of a turn in Part I. Every test from Modules 1–11 still passes. Module 11's reference was the starting point, so a diff between the two shows what this module adds. `course/11-conditions/reference/ts/README.md` and the READMEs it points to describe everything else.
+
+- `cards/` and `levels/` (at the package root; not in this directory): staged by `tools/verify-references.mjs` as for Module 11, plus `course/12-combat/cards/` (`Test Bell`).
+- Part I (`src/engine/`):
+  - `combat.ts` (new): `attackError(world, attacker, defender)`, the legality rules (a minion in play attacks an enemy character in play, with more than 0 Attack, and a Taunt minion if the defender's side has one), and `TAUNT`.
+  - `card.ts`: `Card.keywords`, compiled from keyword clauses. `"endOfTurn"` now fires.
+  - `event.ts`: `{ type: "TurnEnded", player }`, which end of turn triggers answer. The course's log doesn't show it.
+  - `queue.ts`: the `damage` action carries `hits`, each a target, an amount and a `Priority` (`hits(targets, amount)` builds the usual one-amount list). `react` takes the priority of each event's entries and sorts its Queue by priority, highest first, keeping the order it was filled in within one priority. The `attack` action builds one Damage action: the attacker's Attack to the defender at priority `DEFENDER`, and the defender's Attack (if more than 0) to the attacker at `NORMAL`. The `endTurn` action records `TurnEnded` and resolves the triggers that answer it.
+- `src/harness.ts`: `orderAttack(attacker, defender)` (throws an `Error` with the reason if the attack is illegal), `canAttack(attacker, defender): string | null` and `endTurn(player)` on `Game`.
+- Part II, Part III and `src/cli.ts`: unchanged from Module 11. SpellGrid doesn't attack. `tools/diff-tracks.mjs` uses this module's CLIs by default.
+
+Run it with the module's tests: `node tools/verify-references.mjs 12` from the course repository.

+// routine that decides how many times a queued trigger activates. Playing a
+// minion from hand, and Battlecries. A second interceptor, replacement: the
+// steps that rewrite a Damage before it lands (a redirect, then Armor).
+//
+// Module 5: behaviour as data. Cards are definitions in the course's card format,
+// loaded from JSON; one interpreter turns their effects into actions. Assemble
+// builds a new card by swapping half of one card's text for half of another's, and
+// offers only results that are well-formed. A Sequence is bounded: a trigger never
+// nests inside itself, and more than `DEATH_PHASE_LIMIT` Death Phases is an error.
+//
+// Module 12: combat (`combat.ts`: who may attack whom; Taunt) and the end of a turn.
+// A Damage action deals each target its own amount, and a Queue orders its entries by
+// priority before order of play, so the defender's triggers go first.
+//
+// Part II lives in `puzzle/`: a second engine, for the rule-writing puzzle game,
+// beside the first.
+// Module 6: the grid, the lexer and the parser.
+// Module 7: `IS NOT`, and the resolution pass that turns parsed rules into rules in force.
+// Module 8: movement, planned in full and then committed; push chains.
+// Module 9: the turn, as a list of phases; hazards; winning.
+// Module 11: conditions (`X ON Z IS P`), checked for each object when a rule is used.
+//
+// Part III lives in `spellgrid.ts`, the only file that knows both engines.
+// Module 10: SpellGrid. Part I gains auras from outside the cards (`World.setRuleAuras`),
+// a cap on activations, the `spawnText` effect (recorded as a `TextSpawned` event) and
+// the end-of-Phase steps as a list (`END_OF_PHASE`); Part II gains a `Destroy` hook.

+// The action queue: how one player action (a Sequence) resolves.

+// Performing an action changes the world and produces events. Every trigger that
+// responds to those events goes into one Queue, oldest listener first, and the Queue
+// is locked. Each queued trigger then resolves completely, including everything
+// its own actions cause, before the next one starts: depth-first.
+//
+// Module 3: nothing leaves play mid-Sequence. When the outermost Phase ends, the
+// Death Creation Step removes the dead, and a Death Phase resolves their
+// Deathrattles. That repeats until a step finds no new deaths.
+//
+// Module 4: a queued trigger may activate more than once. How many times is
+// decided by one routine, `activations` in `aura.ts`, from aura data on cards.
+// Nothing here knows which cards multiply which triggers.
+//
+// Module 4, second interceptor: replacement. Before a Damage changes the world,
+// the steps in `DAMAGE_STEPS` may rewrite it, in that order: a redirect changes
+// who takes it, then Armor takes what it can of damage to a hero.
+//
+// Module 5: a card's effects are data. Each one is interpreted (`effect.ts`) and
+// its actions performed before the next effect of the same ability is read, so
+// "Assemble a minion. Give all minions in your hand +2/+2." buffs the new minion.
+//
+// Module 5, robustness: once a test can write any card as data, one card can make a
+// Sequence endless. A trigger is never queued while that same trigger of that same
+// minion is resolving (the nesting guard in `react`), and a Sequence that needs more
+// than `DEATH_PHASE_LIMIT` Death Phases is an error.
+//
+// Module 10: the steps at the end of the outermost Phase are a list, `END_OF_PHASE`,
+// read from the world, as Part II's turn is a list of phases. SpellGrid's tests run
+// the same Sequence with the list reversed, to show what the order decides.
+//
+// Module 12: combat and the end of a turn. An attack is one Damage action whose two
+// targets take different amounts (`Hit`), and the triggers answering the defender's
+// Damage Event queue before the attacker's, whatever their order of play. That
+// exception is data on the queue entry, a priority: `react` orders its Queue by
