feat(ui): EVENT LOG tab renders the real game log

Self-fetching EventLogPanel (MissionPanel pattern — refetches on each tab
open). One terminal line per event: T<turn> // <MESSAGE>, newest first, with
the event's local time as the timestamp; new_game lines render as system
lines. Placeholder feed + now() removed from mission-control.
