Debriefs

Clarify 'opponentCouldWinWithPower': specify it only triggers if the opponent's *immediate* next pop-out win is possible, not hypothetical future states. Also, balance COLUMN_LOCK by making it last 1.

Reduce COLUMN_LOCK duration to 1 turn to prevent stalemates and keep the game moving faster.
