fix(practice): state-aware complexity selection with graceful fallback
The problem generator was failing with ProblemGenerationError when minComplexityBudgetPerTerm was set (e.g., challenge slots requiring complexity >= 1). The issue: skill complexity depends on abacus state, not just the term value. Adding +4 from 0 is basic (cost 0), but adding +4 from 7 triggers fiveComplements (cost 1). The old algorithm filtered terms by minBudget during collection, causing empty candidate lists when no term could meet the budget at that state. Fix: Two-phase approach in collectValidTerms() that categorizes ALL valid terms into meetsMinBudget and belowMinBudget arrays. The selection prefers high-cost terms but gracefully falls back to lower-cost terms when the budget is impossible to meet at the current abacus state. Also adds 31 comprehensive tests covering state-dependent skill detection, graceful fallback, edge cases, stress tests (1000 problems), and performance verification. 🤖 Generated with [Claude Code](https://claude.com/claude-code) Co-Authored-By: Claude <noreply@anthropic.com>

/**

* Tests for the state-aware complexity selection algorithm.
|
||||
*
|
||||
* The key insight is that skill complexity depends on the CURRENT ABACUS STATE:
|
||||
* - Adding +4 to currentValue=0 uses basic.directAddition (cost 0)
|
||||
* - Adding +4 to currentValue=7 uses fiveComplements.4=5-1 (cost 1)
|
||||
*
|
||||
* The generator must:
|
||||
* 1. Never fail due to impossible budget constraints
|
||||
* 2. Prefer high-complexity terms when budget requires it
|
||||
* 3. Gracefully fall back to lower complexity when necessary

* - Adding +4 to currentValue=0 uses basic.directAddition (cost 0)
|

* - Adding +4 to currentValue=7 uses fiveComplements.4=5-1 (cost 1)
|

*
|
||||
* This function:
|
||||
* 1. Collects ALL valid terms (skills allowed, max budget OK)
|
||||
* 2. Categorizes them: meets minBudget vs. below minBudget
|
||||
* 3. Prefers terms that meet minBudget
|
||||
* 4. Falls back to lower-cost terms if no term can meet minBudget
|
||||
*
|
||||
* This ensures generation never fails due to impossible budget constraints
|
||||
* while still preferring appropriately challenging problems.
