Corrupt Message / Toast Overhaul

• Reworked corrupt message system into larger contextual pools:
  • global phase-aware pool,
  • deep-cave pool,
  • higher phase escalation pools.
• Added player-context picker (pickCorruptMessageForPlayer) to select messages by situation/phase.
• Corrupt toast now uses the same contextual message source.
• Added support for both turn-around trap phrases:
  • "Don't turn around."
  • "Turn around."
• Glitch/obfuscation probability is now hard-capped at 1/500 effective runtime chance.

Changes to existent elements

Pulse?

• Heartbeat handling tightened with alive/removed checks to prevent post-death heartbeat behavior.

Passive / Mob Variant Tuning

• Wolf imitator-style fake alert pacing significantly reduced (longer delays between fake triggers).
• Creeper absorber/blackout-oriented phase roll reduced in frequency (rarer selection in high-phase roll).
• Additional passive variant stability updates in scheduler and per-entity ticking paths.

Multiplayer / Client Sync Fixes

Pet Refusal visual sync fix

• Added new network payload:
  • UncannyPetRefusalVisualPayload
• Added server->client explicit sync for start, refresh, and stop states.
• Added client-side timed state storage and expiry cleanup.
• Added global clear handling on player/world state reset.
• This resolves client cases where pet-black visual state was present server-side but not rendered client-side.

Client rendering hooks

• Added dedicated client renderers for vanilla pet entities in this flow:
  • UncannyWolfRenderer
  • UncannyCatRenderer
• Added additional render debug traces for diagnosis.

UI / Client Effects

• Added/extended client UI pipeline for hotbar_wrong_count payload rendering.
• Added client event ticking cleanup for temporary visual systems (including pet-refusal visual cache).
• Kept effect rendering local to affected client where required.
