Change the turn on the lift, not the touch

Browse Source 
Android's swipe-up-from-the-bottom is how you leave an app, and the
bottom panel owns that edge — .app is 1fr auto 1fr with the bar in the
middle, so both panels run to the screen edges. Acting on pointerdown
meant starting a swipe home was a finger landing on the clock, and the
turn changed before the gesture had even been recognised. The status bar
over the top panel has the same problem. Android won't let an app opt
out either; setSystemGestureExclusionRects is ignored for the home
gesture.

So a tap is now a press and a lift in the same place, within 12px. A
swipe travels further; a gesture the system claims arrives as
pointercancel and never becomes a lift.

The clock is still stamped at the press. tap() takes the pointerdown
timestamp, which meant dropping elapsed() for now - st.turnAt — elapsed()
always measures to the current instant, the one thing that can't be
backdated. With the delay forced to 0, holding a finger down 600ms longer
charges the outgoing player 1033ms against 1037ms for an instant lift:
the same thinking time, not the extra 600.

The fullscreen request moved to the lift too, so a swipe can't force it.
touch-action:none on .panel means a slow drag ends in a lift we reject
rather than a cancel the browser issues on its own account; it changes no
pixels.

Falls out of it: a hand dragged across a live panel no longer flips the
turn, which the README only promised of the waiting player's hand.

- **Tap your own half** to end your turn and start your opponent's clock.
At the start, whoever taps first sets the *other* player going.
- The waiting player's taps are ignored, so a stray hand won't stop the clock.
- A tap counts when you **lift** your finger, and only if it didn't move. A swipe
does nothing, so Android's swipe-up-from-the-bottom and the status-bar pull-down
work over either half without costing anyone their turn — and a hand dragged
across the panel won't change it either. The clock still switches at the moment
you pressed, not when you let go.
- The bar under the big time is the delay draining. When it empties you get a
soft tick and your reserve starts moving. That's the moment worth hearing.
- **Reset** starts a whole new match: clocks back to full *and* the score back to
