Fix: boards ignore Independent pilots (decision 0.5.133)

The board's qualifying fleet counted Independent pilots and their ships,
so the player saw jobs only an Independent pilot could fly. Generation
and the read filter now use the player's Manual pairs, falling back to
the whole fleet when there are none.

 - **"First dispatch under 30 seconds" is a new end-to-end check**, since this repo's Phase 12 had no such target. The balance simulator has no screens, so a welcome can't slow it. The new e2e test times a real start, from "Start your company" through Skip to the first tutorial run in flight, against 30 seconds.

+## Fix: boards ignore Independent pilots

+- **Decision 0.5.133: the qualifying fleet is the player's own.** The player can't send an Independent pilot, so jobs only that pilot could fly were noise on the board. They are left out of both generation and the read filter. Independent pilots aren't harmed: they choose with `validateDispatch` against their own pair, and when they have no fitting job they wait or head home as before.
+- **Fallback when no Manual pair exists**: the whole fleet counts, so a company whose only flyable ships are Independent still gets a board for them.
+- **An Independent pilot's ship stays out even when another pilot is spare**: it stays assigned to the Independent pilot, so pairing it with an unassigned pilot would offer jobs the player can't send without first taking that pilot off it.

+- [x] **Boards ignore Independent pilots (decision 0.5.133).** Reported: with Rosa Independent, the board still showed jobs only that pilot could fly. The board's qualifying fleet now leaves out Independent pilots and their ships, both when a board is generated and when it's read, so a board already stored this period hides those jobs at once. Independent pilots still check each job against their own pair; with no Manual pair at all, the whole fleet counts. Tests (`packages/engine/test/completable-boards.test.ts`): heavy jobs vanish from the board when the Freighter's pilot goes Independent, this period and the next five; the fallback to the whole fleet.
