Make the overlays usable from a keyboard

Measured every overlay in the tool before touching anything. For a dealer running
this on a laptop, all six were broken in the same three ways.

- focus never moved into the dialog: 0 of 5 measured
- Tab walked straight out of the dialog into the page behind the scrim: 5 of 5
- Escape did nothing: only the rulings sheet handled it, 1 of 5
- the pot wizard — the dialog that pays people — had no role and no
  accessible name at all

So opening the pot wizard left focus on the button behind it, tabbing wandered
through a page nobody can see or click, and there was no way back out except the
mouse.

One implementation, not six

The overlays are opened and closed by five different modules, which is why they
each missed the same things. Rather than patch this into all of them, modal.js
watches the `hidden` attribute they already toggle: focus moves to the first real
control on open, Tab and Shift-Tab wrap inside the dialog, Escape closes it, and
focus returns to whatever opened it. `aria-modal` is set while open and removed
on close. An overlay added later gets all of it without anyone remembering to
wire it up, which is the failure being fixed.

Escape presses the dialog's own cancel button rather than just hiding the
overlay, so the confirm dialog still resolves its promise — verified: Escape
resolves it to false rather than leaving an await hanging forever.

Shortcuts.overlayOpen() had the same shape of bug, listing the six overlay ids by
hand. It asks the document now, so a sheet added later can't quietly start
letting "f" fold the table behind it.

Focus you can see

Three focus rules existed for the whole stylesheet, so tabbing relied on the
browser default ring, which on these dark custom-painted controls is close to
invisible. `:focus-visible` keeps it to keyboard use so a dealer tapping Fold
isn't left with a ring on it.

That surfaced something small: `.holdemBtn` used `transition: all`, so the new
outline faded in over 150ms and the ring lagged a step behind the Tab key. The
transition names its properties now. Measured after: 16 of 16 tab stops show a
ring immediately, and the press state from before still animates.

Also

- a mistyped negative stack read back as negative, and flowed into putIn() where
  Math.min(amount, -50) moves a negative amount and adds chips to the table.
  Clamped at zero.
- accessible names for the chip colour, chip value and notes fields, which had none

11 new tests (99 total), covering negative stacks, negative and unreadable
blinds, blinds nobody can cover, and a save that comes back corrupt, truncated,
or from before a field existed.

Playwright: all five overlays re-measured — focus moves in 5/5, Tab and
Shift-Tab trapped 5/5, Escape closes 5/5, focus restored 5/5, role and
aria-modal present 5/5. Shortcuts still fire when no dialog is open and are
still blocked when one is. Touch guarantees from the earlier round unchanged:
0 of 49 controls on touch-action auto, 0 tap-highlighted.

// Keyboard and screen-reader behaviour for every overlay in the tool, in one place.
