US-010: Handle inactivity and pending selections

As a participant, I want inactive central roles to be replaced fairly so that the game does not stall around absent players.

Acceptance criteria

  • A Tyrant or Vigilante who has not logged in for 48 unpaused hours loses the position.
  • Random candidates are drawn from eligible opted-in players who logged in during the preceding 24 hours.
  • The Tyrant is always excluded from Vigilante selection.
  • A previous role holder is excluded when another eligible candidate exists and may be reused only as a fallback.
  • Tyrant inactivity ends the reign, clears all assignments, and invokes normal random Tyrant succession followed by Vigilante selection.
  • Vigilante inactivity clears Followers and rerolls only the Vigilante position.
  • An offline randomly selected candidate must log in within 24 unpaused hours to confirm the assignment.
  • An unconfirmed selection expires and rerolls automatically under the same eligibility rules.
  • Selection remains vacant and retries periodically when no valid candidate exists.
  • Candidate selection cannot assign conflicting roles or choose an opted-out player, including during concurrent joins and deaths.
