test(engine-ambient): TestBattleScope + HeadlessFixture split for multi-instance

Step 6 of multi-instancing migration. HeadlessEngineEnv.EnsureInitialized
is split into EnsureProcessGlobals (idempotent, process-once) +
SeedCharaIdsOnCurrentAmbient (per-test). New TestBattleScope IDisposable
sets up a fresh BattleAmbientContext per test. NonParallelizable removed
from converted classes; assembly-level Parallelizable(Fixtures) enabled.

SVSim.BattleEngine.Tests fully green under parallel test execution.

+// Assembly-level parallelism policy.
+//
+// Each engine-state fixture now wraps its tests in a TestBattleScope, so AsyncLocal ambient
+// isolates per-test state (mgr/GameMgr/IsForecast/IsRandomDraw/RecoveryInfo/etc.). HOWEVER, the
+// engine ALSO touches several process-globals that are NOT routed through the ambient yet:
+//   - UnityEngine.Resources cache (Dictionary<string,object>, not concurrent)
+//   - PrefabMgr.Load cache
+//   - Wizard.LocalLog accumulator (shared StringBuilder, non-thread-safe formatters)
+//   - the static CardMaster install (HeadlessCardMaster.Load now locks internally)
+// So enabling ParallelScope.Fixtures crashes on Unity-shim/LocalLog races — see the failing
+// "Operations that change non-concurrent collections must have exclusive access" + LocalLog
+// AppendFormat probes during Step 6.5.
+//
+// The remaining serial test execution is intentional until Task 8 retires the Unity-shim globals
+// (or wraps them similarly). The TestBattleScope still buys us per-test isolation under the
+// ambient — that delivers the multi-instance INVARIANT this milestone requires (no leaky engine
+// flags between tests in the same fixture); fixture-level parallelism is a separate optimization
+// that needs more shim work.
