v1.9.0 — Simplified email view

Email authentication headers (SPF/DKIM/DMARC), Reply-To, and Send Time have been removed from the game view. These fields were inconsistently populated across the card deck, creating potential confounds. The game now focuses purely on identifying phishing techniques from email content, sender details, and URLs.
