refactor(client): hardening from code review — Important items I1-I6

I1 — ActivityFeed now stores selection as a {agentId, entryKey} tuple
     instead of a bare string key. The stale-clear effect compares
     exact agent ids rather than string-prefixing the key, removing
     the theoretical prefix-collision hole.
I2 — Reword ensureHaloTexture's comment to reflect that the cache
     lives in Phaser's global TextureManager, not per-scene.
I3 — Snapshot halo.scaleX into a local `baseScale` after
     setDisplaySize and tween to baseScale * 1.25 — same math,
     but clearly shows the baseline → peak factor relationship.
I4 — Move sprite.setData('isHero', true) from
     setInteractiveForSelection to the HeroSprite constructor, so
     the tag survives any future code path that enables input
     without going through setInteractiveForSelection.
I5 — Update the ActivityRow memo-comparator comment: parents now
     pass fresh inline closures per render; safety comes from each
     closure capturing row-deterministic data (entryKey, agentId),
     not from parent-side memoization.
I6 — HeroAvatar `size="inherit"` now carries an explicit JSDoc
     caveat and a dev-mode runtime warning that logs when the
     parent element renders with 0×0 dimensions, surfacing layout
     mistakes before they ship.
