All 10 non-gatherer bots included timestamp in the request verification
signing string but the engine (auth.go SignRequest) does not include
timestamp. Every incoming turn request failed 401 verification, bots
crashed after 10 turns, and all matches ended in stalemate.
The engine documentation in auth.go is also misleading (old comment
mentioned timestamp in signing string) but the actual implementation
never included it. Fixed all language implementations to match.
Affected: random (py), swarm (ts), hunter (java), guardian (php),
rusher (rs), assassin (rs), phalanx (rs), opportunist (go),
farmer (go), scout (py), raider (java)

Implements a hit-and-run strategy that scouts for lone enemy bots,
attacks from flanking positions, then retreats after 1-2 engagement
turns to avoid reinforcements. Defends own core when under pressure.
