feat(strategies): add conservative strategy
Add new ultra-conservative strategy that prioritizes: - Financial stability ($25+ balance for max interest) - Risk aversion (avoid Glass cards, risky Spectrals) - Consistent scoring over explosive plays - Never selling jokers or skipping early blinds - Proper joker ordering (+Chips → +Mult → xMult) Includes all 5 required template files: - manifest.json with strategy metadata - STRATEGY.md.jinja with comprehensive game mechanics and conservative philosophy - GAMESTATE.md.jinja with warning annotations for risky actions - MEMORY.md.jinja with conservative-focused strategic reminders - TOOLS.json with conservative hints in function descriptions https://claude.ai/code/session_01Fvj2yNNE13E8hvRAjc9h2E

## Recent Decision History
5+
6+
Here is a list of your recent decisions (from oldest to newest):
7+
{% set max_history = 10 if history|length > 10 else history|length %}
8+
{% for entry in history[-max_history:] %}
9+
**{{ loop.index }}.** `{{ entry.method }}({{ entry.params }})` - {{ entry.reasoning }}
10+
{% endfor %}
11+
{% endif %}
12+
13+
## Strategic Context
14+
{% if history %}
15+
**Conservative Strategy Review:**
16+
- Are you maintaining $25+ for maximum interest income?
17+
- Are you avoiding unnecessary risks (Glass cards, selling jokers)?
18+
- Is your joker order optimized (+Chips → +Mult → xMult)?
19+
- Are you committed to one primary hand type?
20+
- Have you avoided skipping blinds in early Antes?
21+
22+
Based on your recent actions, consider:
23+
- How your decisions are building towards stable, consistent scoring
24+
- Whether you're maintaining financial discipline
25+
- If current joker synergies support your primary hand type
26+
{% else %}
27+
**Conservative Game Start - Key Priorities:**
28+
1. Play every blind in Antes 1-3 for maximum cash
29+
2. Build to $25 balance by end of Ante 2
30+
3. Pick a primary hand type (Flush or Full House recommended)
31+
4. Buy only reliable jokers that fit your strategy
32+
5. Never sell jokers - the value loss is too high
33+
6. Avoid Glass cards, risky Spectrals, and gambling mechanics
34+
35+
Focus on steady growth, not explosive plays.
