feat(shard): Protocol 2.0 boards UI — guilds, governors, houses, players-online

Phase 2: the public UI for the four new boards, following the ChampSpawns live pattern (snapshot via useAsync + merge SSE deltas with useShardFeed). - Players Online widget (components/PlayersOnline.jsx): total + region breakdown rolled up into display buckets (data/regionBuckets.js — the one place to retune the grouping); live via presence.online. Placed on the Shard page, replacing the static players-online stat tile. - Guilds (/site/guilds): searchable board of rosters/alliances/leaders with a "recently joined" strip from guild.join. - Governors (/site/governors): one card per city with a placeholder crest (data/cityCrests.js — swap for real art without touching components), election phase badge + autoPickAt countdown, and an on-demand "past governors" term history (the look-back reads the ledger captured in Phase 1). Clean empty state when City Loyalty isn't enabled. - Houses (/site/houses): searchable registry with decay badges; price labelled "placement value", not a for-sale flag. - API client methods + nav links (Guilds / Governors / Houses). Client build clean (240 modules). Refs .plans/protocol2-integration.md (Phase 2). Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 <noreply@anthropic.com>
