Indiana a727858a62 fix: the Passage was an unbounded essence faucet
`passage_start` rewinds the rite to `listen` at any time, and PassagePanel
offers exactly that button after a resisted release. Every replayed layer
re-credited its essence, so one summon funded an endless loop — the 20/60s
limiter caps the rate, never the total. Measured at ~110 essence/minute,
indefinitely.

Each layer now pays the first time it opens for a presence and never again,
cleared only by a genuine summon. Re-walking still reveals; it just doesn't
mint. The frame reports what was ACTUALLY credited, so the UI's running
total can't drift from the ledger.

Three further fixes in the same handlers:
- judgment -> passage double-paid a crossing. The passage -> cross_over
  direction was already guarded; the reverse ran free, favor included.
- both handlers read `state.entity["id"]` AFTER their DB round-trip. The
  HTTP telemetry path drives the same SeanceState and can summon
  concurrently, so a crossing could mark the presence that just arrived.
  Pinned before the awaits.

tests/test_ws_passage.py is new, and covers the gap that let all of this
hide: test_passage.py tests the pure module, and nothing exercised these
handlers over a real connection. Efficacy proven by reverting the fix —
the replay test then reports "minted 280 extra essence".
