-### 1.3 Collision — camera pan/zoom + notification
-L'engine emet deja `PieceReturnedToStockEvent` + auto-pause. Il reste a :
-- Animer un pan + zoom de la camera vers la case de collision.
-- Afficher une notification dans un coin de l'ecran
-  (ex : "Tour II detruite par Dame — retournee au stock").
-- Reprise a Espace apres lecture.

 Le bouton `[Retirer]` du `DetailPanel` existe. Ajouter en complement :
 selection + `Delete` → meme effet que le bouton.
