Subject: [PATCH] fix(engine): emit zone_death events instead of bot_died with
 reason
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

Per plan §3.7.1, zone kills should emit dedicated zone_death events
for tracking, not generic bot_died events with a reason field.

Changes:
- executeZone() now directly emits EventZoneDeath instead of calling
  KillBot() which would emit EventBotDied with reason="zone"
- Event includes bot_id, owner, position fields (consistent with
  combat_death and collision_death events)

Verification:
- Generated test replay shows zone_death events with correct schema
- All Go tests pass

Closes: bf-xauy
