Feature Fix Skill tree — expedition bonus points & guide point count corrections

Added expedition bonus points support to the skill tree builder and fixed point count errors in the recommended build guide:

Skill tree builder now has an "Expedition pts" input — enter however many bonus points you've unlocked to raise the cap above 76
Expedition point count persists in localStorage across sessions
Fixed hardcoded 170 cap display — now correctly shows 76 (+ expedition bonus) dynamically
Recommended skill tree guide corrected: Survival section was listed as 38 pts (actual: 37), Conditioning as 20 pts (actual: 21), and Proficient Pryer listed as 3/5 (actual: 5/5 in the build)

Content Weekly trials updated — new rotation

Updated this week's trials (Damage Snitches, Damage ground-based ARC enemies on Stella Montis, Damage Bastions, Open ARC Probes, Deal as much damage using a Heavy Fuze Grenade) and set upcoming trials for the June 15 reset. Three new images added including a Stella Montis-specific variant. Scoring badges updated for all active trials from live API data. Damage Comets (4 pts/damage), Damage Turbines (1 pt/damage), Search cars (200 pts/car), and Destroy multiple ARC enemies with a Wolfpack (1000 pts/multi-kill) received guide entries.

Content Weekly trials updated — new rotation, skeleton loading & CLS fixes

Updated this week's trials (Open containers inside the hotel on Riven Tides, Damage ground-based ARC enemies, Search Computers, Deal melee damage to ARC enemies, Damage Spotters) and set upcoming trials for the June 8 reset. Also shipped several performance and UX improvements:

Skeleton loading redesigned — each trial card now shows the game card template with a shimmer overlay until its real image loads, eliminating all alt-text flicker
Template image preloaded in <head> so it's in browser cache before first paint
Fixed image aspect ratio to 2:3 (actual dimensions) — was incorrectly set to 16:9, squishing images
Header space reserved via CSS before includes.js injects it, eliminating the 80px content jump on load
"Up Next" section now shows a "subject to change" disclaimer

Feature Maps Admin review queue — compare view & multi-spawn conversion

Overhauled the admin marker review panel for edit submissions:

Side-by-side Original vs Proposed comparison card — click either column to instantly pan the map to that position
Blue ghost ring appears on the map at the original marker position while reviewing an edit, so both spots are visible simultaneously
"Convert to new marker" toggle — when a user moved a multi-spawn cache instead of submitting a second location, approving with this on creates a fresh marker and leaves the original intact
"Focus original" button now correctly pan + layer-switches to the existing static marker, and is disabled (with explanation) when the marker isn't present on the currently loaded map
Map API extended with getMarkerData(id) and focusMarker(id) for marker lookup and programmatic navigation

Content Weekly trials updated — new rotation & scoring data added to all guides

Updated the weekly trials page with this week's rotation (Damage ARC enemies in the Red Lakes, Deal as much damage using a Blaze Grenade, Deal damage to Shredders, Loot Weapon Crates, Damage Bombardiers) and set upcoming trials for the June 1 reset. Five images refreshed or added. All active and upcoming trial guides now include exact scoring data:

Per-damage rates, per-kill values, and per-item points added to each trial's badge and guide text
Key mechanics clarified — e.g. Blaze Grenade scores on highest single throw, not cumulative
Deal melee damage to ARC enemies received a guide for the first time (7.5 pts/damage)
