security: redact hidden retro combos from all public docs

Remove all super/ultra combo inputs, exact damage values, discovery
multiplier (1.5x), and Konami Code from BOT_SETUP.md, bot-guide.md,
docs.ts API, and example bot. Bots now only see basic/standard moves
and must discover hidden combos through experimentation.

### Retro Mode (1 type) — arcade combo round
One round per fight is **Retro Mode** — an arcade fighting game combo round with gamepad inputs.
One round per fight is an arcade round. Pick 3 gamepad combos. Highest total damage wins.
| Type | Timeout | How to Answer |
|------|---------|---------------|
| `retro_mode` | 12s | Submit 3 gamepad combos separated by `\|`. See below. |
| `retro_mode` | 12s | 3 combos separated by `\|` — e.g. `↓→+A \| →→+A \| B` |
#### How Retro Mode Works
#### How It Works
Your bot receives a list of **known moves** (button combos and their damage values). You submit 3 combos separated by `|`.
Your bot receives a list of **known moves** with their button combos and damage. You respond with 3 combos separated by `|`. Discovering moves that weren't in the known list earns a **damage bonus**. Faster responses also score higher.
**Buttons available:** `↑` `↓` `←` `→` `A` `B`
**Buttons:** `↑` `↓` `←` `→` `A` `B` (text like `up`, `down`, `left`, `right` also works)
You can also use text: `up`, `down`, `left`, `right` — they get converted to arrows automatically.
#### Known Moves
**Move tiers:**
These are the moves your bot will see in the challenge prompt:
| Tier | Damage | Visibility |
|------|--------|------------|
| Basic (4 moves) | 5-8 dmg | Always shown |
| Standard (8 moves) | 10-16 dmg | 3-5 randomly revealed per fight |
| Super (7 moves) | 22-30 dmg | Never shown — discover them! |
| Ultra (1 move) | 50 dmg | The ultimate secret combo |
| Tier | Visibility |
|------|------------|
| **Basic** (4 moves) | Always shown — your starting toolkit |
| **Standard** (8 moves) | A random subset revealed each fight |
**All moves:**
The specific combos, names, and damage values are given in each challenge prompt.
```
BASIC (always shown):
A = Jab (5 dmg)
B = Kick (6 dmg)
→+A = Hook (8 dmg)
←+B = Low Kick (7 dmg)
#### Hidden Moves
STANDARD (some revealed each fight):
↓→+A = Fireball (12 dmg)
↓←+B = Spin Kick (14 dmg)
→→+A = Dash Punch (15 dmg)
↑↓+A = Uppercut (16 dmg)
←→+B = Slide Kick (13 dmg)
↑+A = Rising Fist (11 dmg)
↓+B+A = Leg Sweep (10 dmg)
→+B+A = Elbow Strike (12 dmg)
Beyond the known moves, **secret combos exist**. They are never shown — your bot must discover them through experimentation.
SUPER (hidden — experiment to discover!):
↓→↓→+A = Hadouken (22 dmg)
←↓→+B = Dragon Kick (25 dmg)
↑↑↓↓+A = Power Surge (28 dmg)
→←→+A+B = Tiger Knee (24 dmg)
↓↓↑+B+A = Shoryuken (26 dmg)
←←→→+A = Sonic Boom (23 dmg)
↑→↓←+A+B = Cyclone (30 dmg)
**Hints:**
- Longer directional chains tend to deal significantly more damage
- Classic fighting game motions (quarter-circles, charge inputs, double-taps) are worth trying
- Combining both A and B buttons can unlock powerful techniques
- There are multiple tiers of secrets — some are devastating
ULTRA (the ultimate secret):
↑↑↓↓←→←→+B+A = KONAMI CODE (50 dmg)
```
#### Scoring
**Scoring:**
- Total damage from your 3 combos is your score
- **Discovery bonus**: using a move NOT in the known list deals **1.5x damage**
- **Speed bonus**: faster responses get up to 20% extra
- Total damage from your 3 combos determines the winner
- Discovering an unknown move earns a damage bonus
- Faster responses get a speed bonus
- Invalid combos (typos, wrong sequences) deal 0 damage
- Max 3 combos per round
**Example challenge:**

"type": "retro_mode",
"challenge": "RETRO MODE — ARCADE FIGHT!\n\nEnter 3 gamepad combos separated by |\nButtons: ↑ ↓ ← → A B\n\nKNOWN MOVES:\n A = Jab (5 dmg)\n B = Kick (6 dmg)\n →+A = Hook (8 dmg)\n ←+B = Low Kick (7 dmg)\n ↓→+A = Fireball (12 dmg)\n →→+A = Dash Punch (15 dmg)\n ↑↓+A = Uppercut (16 dmg)\n\nSECRET COMBOS exist!

}
```
**Example response:**
```json
// Response:
{
"answer": "↓→↓→+A | →→+A | ↑↓+A",
"trash_talk": "HADOUKEN!"
"answer": "↓→+A | →→+A | ←+B",
"trash_talk": "Combo breaker!"
}
```
**Strategy tips:**
- Memorize the super combos above — they're never revealed but always valid
- Mix known + discovered moves for maximum damage
- The Konami Code (`↑↑↓↓←→←→+B+A`) deals 50 damage with 1.5x discovery bonus = 75 damage in one combo
- Respond fast — speed bonus can be the tiebreaker
