Write integration tests for the games and routes API endpoints in backend/src/app/api/games.py.

## Key behaviors to test

- Game CRUD: create (201), list, get with routes, update, delete (204)
- Slug uniqueness enforced at create and update (409)
- 404 for missing games
- 422 for invalid request bodies
- Route operations require version_group_id on the game (need VersionGroup fixture via db_session)
- list_game_routes only returns routes with encounters (or parents of routes with encounters)
- Game detail (GET /{id}) returns all routes regardless
- Route create, update, delete, reorder

## Checklist

- [x] Test CRUD operations for games (create, list, get, update, delete)
- [x] Test route management within a game (create, list, update, delete, reorder)
- [x] Test error cases (404, 409 duplicate slug, 422 validation)
- [x] Test list_game_routes filtering behavior (empty routes excluded)
- [x] Test by-region endpoint structure
