Broadcast a "rolling" WS event when the DM invokes roll_dice, and show
a cycling dice-emoji animation with the roll notation in the chat while
waiting for the result, instead of just the generic typing indicator.
Also split the dice-roll prompt rule into skill/save checks (DC shown
to the player) vs. attack rolls (AC stays secret but must still be
labeled as a roll), and made the "always roll yourself, never ask the
player to roll" instruction unconditional.

- Character sheets gain structured combat_stats, abilities (name +
plain-language explanation), and equipment fields, populated by the
upsert_character_sheet tool; the detail page renders them as their
own sections instead of one prose block, with a player-card-style
attribute grid (full ability names + modifiers).
- Fix double-escaped unicode occasionally left in tool-call JSON
arguments (a model quirk) and stop the app's own json.dumps calls
from re-introducing it (ensure_ascii=False).
- Render chat messages as markdown (react-markdown + Tailwind
typography) instead of raw text, and widen the games/characters/
chat layout to use more of the screen on desktop.
- Sharpen the DM system prompt: state the ability + DC for each
offered action option before the player commits, and narrate rolls
as DC → result → pass/fail before the story consequence; also stop
re-asking Session-0 questions already answered in the game's
name/description.
- Make the DM's LLM provider configurable (xai default, lmstudio for
a local OpenAI-compatible server via host.docker.internal) instead
of hardcoded to x.ai.

run_dm_turn now loads the game's name/description into the system
prompt on every turn, and the Session-0 instructions tell the DM to
check those framing details first and skip re-asking genre/world,
scope, or experience level when they're already covered there —
only the still-open points (player count, characters, rule-depth
preference, content boundaries) get asked.

FastAPI + Postgres backend with fastapi-users auth, games/characters
CRUD, and a WebSocket chat endpoint where an x.ai Grok DM narrates
play, rolls dice, and maintains character sheets via tool calls.
React + Tailwind frontend covers registration/login, game list and
creation, participation-code join flow, character viewer, and a
real-time chat session view. Docker Compose skeleton (Postgres +
backend) included; Caddy/frontend container wiring is deferred to
the deploy milestone.
