Background

The flavour_cache uses thread-local ||= memoization, causing every room of a given terrain type within a single thread to get the same randomly-sampled name and description.

Demonstrable Outcome

Each room receives a unique random description from its terrain's description pool, with no thread-local memoization artifacts.

Acceptance Criteria

Per-terrain description pools with multiple name/description pairs
Each room gets an independent random sample from its pool
Thread-local flavour_cache memoization removed
Unit tests verify description diversity across rooms
