feat(group-check): skill_check_group_emit tool + scoreboard embed (Story 8.1 pt2b)

The emit side of Feature C is complete: the LLM can now post a group
skill-check scoreboard and the bot persists the pending group check.

- buildGroupScoreboardEmbed(skill, prompt, dc, rolls, opts?): the scoreboard
  — per-player rows (awaiting / ✅+total / ❌+total), DC, optional Roll Mode
  (adv/dis) + timer (Time / Final sands) fields, PENDING→URGENT in the final
  stretch. One embed, edited in place by the 8.2 runner.
- skill_check_group_emit tool: validates the successRule (built from primitive
  args — majority/all/n_of_m(n,m)/sum_threshold(threshold,sumOf) — then
  SuccessRuleSchema.parse), resolves targeted players ('all' = roster, or a
  comma-separated dndName list), resolves each modifier via
  characterContext.getModifier, posts the scoreboard + Roll button, and
  persists pendingGroupCheck via atomicMutate. Rejects n_of_m m > N and
  no-targeted-players. Whole-group advantage/disadvantage + durationSeconds
  stored on the pending check.
- PendingGroupCheck += advantage/disadvantage. Registered in tools/index.ts.

specsToolsConsistency: allowlist skill_check_group_emit (registered ahead of
its spec — a group spec lands with the lobby in Story 9).

Tests: groupScoreboard (5 — title/DC, rows, PENDING, roll mode, timer/URGENT),
skill_check_group_emit (6 — all-players default majority, named players,
no-players error, n_of_m m>N error, sum_threshold, advantage). 489 unit pass;
tsc clean.

Story 8.1 complete (successRule evaluator + types + resolver + embed + tool).
The roll side (atomic roll registration, scoreboard live updates, aggregate
[GROUP CHECK RESULT], once-per-check LLM call) is Story 8.2.
