Subject: [PATCH] fix(doantu): reset round when target fell out of phow2sim
 vocab

Pre-phow2sim games (Workers AI era) left targets in KV that phow2sim
doesn't know. The API returned in_vocab_a:false, similarity:null, which
our handler misread as a guess-OOV and blamed the player's word. Now we
detect target-OOV explicitly, wipe the stale round, and prompt the user
to start fresh.
