Add an optional **Gauntlet** rule for genlocke runs. When enabled, Pokemon that enter the Hall of Fame at the end of a leg are NOT transferred to the next game — instead, they (and their evolutionary families) are added to the dupe list for subsequent legs.
## Behavior
- Toggled as an optional rule when creating/editing a genlocke
- When a leg is completed, surviving Hall of Fame Pokemon are marked as "dupes" for the next leg rather than being transferred as eggs/starters
- This means the player cannot catch anything in those evolutionary lines in future legs (standard dupe clause enforcement)
- The cumulative dupe list grows with each completed leg
- Effectively forces the player to use entirely new Pokemon each generation
## Notes
- This is a variant of the standard genlocke format that increases difficulty
- The dupe list should track evolutionary families, not just the specific Pokemon (e.g., if Charizard is in the HoF, Charmander and Charmeleon are also duped)
- Should integrate with the existing dupe clause system already in the tracker
- Consider showing the cumulative gauntlet dupe list somewhere in the genlocke dashboard
