A quick follow-up to yesterday's LLM restoration. Three fixes that clean up rough edges in the new-universe flow and wildlife rendering.

The genesis sequence — the moment your planet first sparks to life — had a timing issue where the soul-creation step could race against world initialization. If you hit it, agents would spawn soulless and the game would stall. That's resolved; the sequence now waits for the world to be ready before breathing life into your first villagers.
