Debriefs

Clarify that COLUMN_LOCK prevents the opponent from using that column for ANY action (drop or power), not just drops. The rule says 'no drop and no pop out there', but it's worth emphasizing that 'no'

Add a helper that lists the opponent's specific power if they play it, or if I play a power that reveals it. Currently, I only know they have one or not. Knowing the specific power would improve bluff
