Subject: [PATCH] fix: unlock exploration areas when their zone is unlocked by
 boss kill or quest (#161)

applyBossResult and the tick engine both updated zone status to "unlocked"
but never propagated that unlock to state.exploration.areas, leaving all
areas in the new zone permanently locked until force-unlock was used.
Both code paths now map over exploration areas and set any locked area
whose zone just became unlocked to "available" in the same state update.
