fix: correct equipment balance and sort items by stat power (#69)
## Summary

Two improvements to the equipment system in one PR:

### Balance fixes (closes #54)

Full equipment audit revealed 9 items with duplicated stats, regressions, or purchasable items weaker than free boss drops:

| Item | Change | Reason |
|---|---|---|
| Void Conduit | 4x → 7x combat | 100M essence sink was equal to a zone-6 boss drop |
| Void Edge | 2.75x → 3.25x combat | Purchasable was weaker than free Celestial Blade (3x) |
| Astral Robe | 2.25x → 2.75x gold | Boss drop was weaker than purchasable Titan's Aegis (2.5x) |
| Philosopher's Stone | 2x → 2.25x click | Duplicated Frost Crystal's click multiplier |
| Eternal Flame | 1.15x → 1.25x gold | Gold regressed vs Philosopher's Stone (1.25x) |
| Celestial Focus | 2.5x → 3x click | 20M essence sink was weaker than free Angel's Halo (2.75x click + 1.3x gold) |
| Abyssal Tome | 3x → 3.75x gold | 50M essence sink was equal to free Heaven's Mantle (3x) |
| Crystal Matrix | 4x → 4.75x gold | 20M crystal sink was equal to free Sinslayer Aegis (4x) |
| Infernal Gem | 3.5x → 4x click | 5M crystal sink was identical to free Prism Eye |

### Equipment sorting (closes #55)

Equipment cards within each slot now render in ascending order of combined bonus power — the sum of all multiplier bonuses — so stronger items always appear further down the list. Hybrid items such as Volcanic Plate sort correctly without needing a per-slot primary stat.

## Test plan

- [ ] All purchasable weapons/armour/trinkets now exceed the stats of the highest free boss drop at their tier
- [ ] No duplicate stat values between adjacent items in the same progression track
- [ ] Equipment cards within each slot render weakest → strongest
- [ ] Hybrid multi-stat items sort sensibly alongside single-stat items
- [ ] Full pipeline green (lint + build + tests at 100% coverage)
