#127: dialogs wait for the reader, and say who is talking

A line now stays until it is DISMISSED - there is no timer under it at all.
A prologue whose lines expire on their own reads at the game's pace rather
than at the reader's, and that was most of what made the opening feel
rushed even after #125 slowed the beats down.

The beats that are about the guide talking already hold while the banner is
speaking, so dismissing a line is what advances the prologue. A player who
never clicks is still never stuck: each beat's own deadline is the way out,
and the test pins that the deadline sits past the floor.

A dismissed line eats the press, so clicking to continue does not also steer
the fleet on the way through.

The speaker's name sits in a notch cut out of the top border at the left,
the way a label is riveted to a panel - the frame is one polygon, so the
fill and the stroke cannot disagree about where that notch is. Everything up
to the breach is the convoy's controller; after it there is nobody left to
talk to, so the closing lines are the ship's own log, which is the point
being made.

The tick strip along the bottom is gone. It read as an underline attached to
the last line rather than as part of the frame. What replaces it is a
blinking caret at the bottom right - the one thing that says a click is what
moves this on.
