Q2 Verdathi root-vibration mini-game

/translate

During Q2 of the Verdathi deep-track contact arc
("Deep-Track Translation"), Sylvara lends you her hearing
for an afternoon. The forest does not speak in words —
it speaks in weights and silences, and you must learn to
feel the difference.

The mini-game presents five root-vibration phrases. You
must clear three of the five to satisfy Sylvara. Each roll
consumes one phrase index; after the fifth attempt, the
deck is exhausted.

Commands:
  /translate            Attempt the next phrase (one roll)
  /translate status     Show progress without consuming a phrase

Outcomes:
  CRIT       Far above the threshold. Sylvara hears.
  HIT        At or above the threshold. The phrase resolves.
  MISS       Below the threshold. The phrase slips by.
  FUMBLE     Catastrophic miss. You hear something wrong.

Mechanics:
  - Stat: Lore + Perception (rolled internally as a single check).
  - Trust with Sylvara reduces the threshold (+1 per 5 trust, cap +20).
  - Determinism: rolls go through the world's _scene_roll_seed,
    so replays are reproducible given the same seed.

When the threshold (3 hits) is cleared, return to Sylvara at
the Verdathi Glade to complete Q2 and unlock Q3.
