Remove firstEncounterOnly, permadeath, nicknameRequired, and postGameCompletion from the rules system — they are either implicit (it's a nuzlocke tracker) or not enforced. Move levelCaps to core (it's displayed in the sticky bar). Create a new "playstyle" category for hardcoreMode and setModeOnly — informational rules useful for stats but not enforced by the tracker. Remove the completion category entirely. Add sub-task beans for the rules overhaul epic. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>

Control whether static/legendary encounters count against the area's encounter limit.
Design Decisions
Scope: This rule covers overworld Pokemon that are always available (legendaries, Snorlax blocking the road, Sudowoodo, Voltorb in the power plant, etc.). These are distinct from gifts (given by NPCs) which are covered by giftClause (sij8).
Encounter method: The existing encounter method list (walk, surf, gift, fossil, etc.) doesn't have a "static" method. Add static as a new encounter method in the seed data and METHOD_CONFIG. Static encounters are one-time overworld Pokemon the player walks up to and battles.
Rule behavior: staticClause: boolean (default: false). When enabled, encounters with method static bypass the route-lock check (same pattern as shinyClause and giftClause). This means static Pokemon are "free" and don't consume the area's encounter.
No legendary ban: Rather than banning legendaries outright, the community standard is to let the player choose. The tracker just needs to support logging static encounters correctly. Players who want to ban legendaries simply don't catch them.
Interaction with giftClause: These are separate rules. giftClause covers NPC gifts (method: gift). staticClause covers overworld statics (method: static). A player can enable both, one, or neither.
