Close the window where a bet pays into a round it was left out of (B-53)

place_bet commits its participant row as "building" before broadcasting (B-08's
two-phase write), while the scheduler flips the round "open" -> "closing" in one
transaction and counts in-flight participants in another. A bet whose deadline
check passed just before that flip could commit in between: the count saw zero,
so the round drew and paid out over the "confirmed" participants only, while the
bet confirmed normally and its sats landed in the pool address — credited to no
round, to no participant, with no refund path, silently improving the next
round's payout change.

Two locks on the same door:

- place_bet re-checks the deadline after building and signing (the first check
  happens before the UTXO scan, so a slow build could carry a bet past it), then
  commits the participant row behind a compare-and-set on the round's own row,
  UPDATE rounds ... WHERE status = 'open'. That UPDATE takes SQLite's write lock,
  so the two transactions can no longer interleave: either the bet commits first
  and the scheduler's in-flight count sees it, or the flip commits first and the
  guard matches zero rows and refuses the bet with round_closing before anything
  is broadcast. A write-snapshot conflict (OperationalError) is the same
  situation and gets the same answer. Nothing has been broadcast at that point,
  so the rollback releases the UTXOs and leaves no rows behind.

- _close_and_draw re-counts in-flight bets in the same session it snapshots the
  participants from, and returns with the round still "closing" if it finds any.
  Redundant given the CAS, and cheap: it fails safe and the next tick retries.

No new error code — a bet refused this way is exactly the "round is closing"
case the user already sees.

Verified on mainnet with real money: registration + address derivation, deposit crediting (1-conf), a real 10 PLM bet (broadcast → confirmed → change credited back), and one full round cycle (close → draw on a real block hash → 70/30 payout with sat math checked against the broadcast tx → confirmation → close → next round auto-opened). **Withdrawal and the RBF bump path have never been exercised against a live broadcast** — unit-tested only.

**PLAY** — fixed cost, **at most one active bet per user**, and **at most `MAX_PARTICIPANTS_PER_ROUND` (400) players per round** — past that the bet is refused with `round_full` and the player waits for the next round (B-52: the payout must spend one pool UTXO per bet, so a round is only ever allowed to grow to what a single payout tx can drain). PSBT user-address → pool-address, always with a **change output back to the same user address** (a user's balance must never exactly equal the bet). Fee ~1 sat/vB, **deducted from the bet amount**. No confirmation within the timeout → RBF bump and rebroadcast.
**DRAW** — configurable timer (default 600s):
- *Bet cutoff is the round's own deadline* (`opened_at + round_duration_seconds`), **not** the DB status: `place_bet` calls `rounds/service.round_accepts_bets`, which rejects once the deadline passes even while `status` is still `"open"` (the 5s scheduler tick can lag behind it). Once a round leaves `open`, no new bets either, and no new round opens until this one is fully `closed`.

Once a round leaves `open`, no new bets either, and no new round opens until this one is fully `closed`. The deadline is checked twice — on arrival and again after the transaction is built — and the participant row is then committed behind a **compare-and-set on the round row** (`UPDATE rounds ... WHERE status = 'open'`, B-53): the scheduler flips `open``closing` in a transaction of its own and only counts in-flight bets afterwards, so without the CAS a bet could commit in between, be excluded from the draw (only `confirmed` participants are drawn) and still have its sats land in the pool with no refund path. Its mirror image on the scheduler side is `_close_and_draw` re-counting in-flight bets in the same session it snapshots the participants from.
- *"Yellow light":* closing **waits for every already-broadcast bet to confirm** before drawing, so a bet in flight at the boundary isn't lost (`building` counts as in-flight; what bounds the wait is the reconciler eventually abandoning a bet that never confirms).
- *Algorithm* (deliberately simple, meant to be replaced): first block confirmed after closing — corroborated by the other servers first, and on failure the draw waits for a *further* block and writes a `draw_header_corroboration_failed` audit entry rather than stalling silently — hash as seed, `index = seed mod participant_count` over participants ordered by **broadcast timestamp** (also the tie-break when two bets land in the same block). Equal probability for everyone, regardless of amount.
- *Payout* is signed with the pool key; its **fee comes out of the winner's 70%**, leaving the 30% fee share intact. Same timeout → RBF → rebroadcast pattern.
