malkhut(T3): planner + adversarial counterparties

Planner: Decoupled UCB/UCT simultaneous-move MCTS (sm_mcts.py), compact action space (action_menu.py), planner alternatives (alternatives.py). Counterparties: 4+ adversarial agent ecology — ToxicTaker, LatencyArb, MarketMaker, NoiseTrader + extended: LiquidationFlow, WhaleOrder, MomentumFollower, SpoofDetector, QueueChaser.

+Counterparty ecology — diverse adversarial agents for self-play.
+
+Each agent is a frozen policy with legal_actions() and rollout_action().
+The ecology is designed so that a pure quote gets picked off by toxic
+takers, and only a mixed distribution survives.
