thejayman77 90da4be083 Pool admin: empty-pool safety net + honest removal copy (Codex audit)
Two hardening fixes from Codex's audit:
- _pick_answer falls back to the curated baseline if the live pool is empty,
  so an admin tombstoning every answer in a variant can't divide-by-zero the
  daily picker. Test added (test_picker_survives_empty_live_pool). Chosen over
  a minimum-count block: robust without refusing legitimate removals.
- Removal copy is now honest — "Removed from future puzzles (today's answer is
  already set)" — since a tombstone doesn't rewrite today's generated
  daily_puzzles row. Panel intro updated to match.

"""Daily puzzles for the calm Play hub.
Principle: **the LLM proposes, code disposes.** The LLM only contributes
creative flavor (a one-line "why today's word matters"); the daily answer is
picked deterministically by code from a pre-validated hopeful pool (every word
is guaranteed to be in the guess dictionary, so it's always typeable). Puzzles
are stored per (date, game, variant) so everyone gets the same one and shares
are comparable. Generation never blocks on or trusts the LLM for correctness.
