Owner

A placeholder opponent so the slice is playable end to end. Real AI — threat scoring,
cover use, focus fire — is M4.

Scope

src/ai/ with a behaviour interface that M4's real AI will implement, and one trivial
implementation behind it: move toward the nearest player unit, attack if in range,
otherwise wait.
The AI submits Action values through the same path the player does. It gets no
privileged access to state and no separate resolution route.

Acceptance criteria

Deterministic under a fixed seed.
Uses the same Action API as player input — verified by the fact that resolution
cannot tell the two apart.
The module states in a comment that it is an M1 placeholder and names the issue
that replaces it.
Never hangs the turn: every enemy activation terminates in an action or a wait.
