fix(#623): claude/.app DM logs early /events progress beat (kills perceived drop/hang)

[100yenadmin]

Closes the root cause of #623 (the biggest story-persona satisfaction lever). Forensics (measure-first, sweep_v8): the DM beats ran clean (85-157s, ttft 2-5s, all recorded, zero errors) but viewer.log streaming-refs=0 — play_party.sh (the .app + claude-lane sweep DM path) lacked the LIVE_PROGRESS_LOG_RULE that play_codex_dm.sh has, so the claude DM emitted nothing to /events until the full beat finished → blank viewer → perceived drop/hang. Fix: prepend the live-progress rule to every DM turn message in play_party.sh (parity). Lands in BOTH the shipped .app and the VM sweeps. Guard: test_play_party_dm_has_live_progress_rule. Expected effect: the next VM sweep should show streaming refs > 0 and lift the narrative/newbie scores (8+ writing no longer dragged to 6 by the false drop/hang).

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The PR introduces a live-progress narration streaming feature by defining CLAWDND_LIVE_PROGRESS_RULE in play_party.sh to instruct the DM to emit early narration events before long resolution work, then applies this rule to every DM turn. A regression test verifies the rule is defined and consistently used across DM wrapper scripts.

Changes

Live progress narration streaming

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Live progress rule definition and DM integration scripts/play_party.sh	Introduces CLAWDND_LIVE_PROGRESS_RULE prompt directive instructing the DM to log one early narration progress event after consuming live context, before longer resolution work. The DM turn function prepends this rule to every prompt, ensuring consistent early event emission.
Regression test for live progress rule parity servers/engine/tests/test_dm_session_remint.py	Adds test_play_party_dm_has_live_progress_rule() to verify the rule is defined and applied in play_party.sh, and confirms the companion LIVE_PROGRESS_LOG_RULE exists in play_codex_dm.sh for consistent live-progress behavior.

Early beats now shine through—
No more blank-streamed waits,
Progress tells the fates.
