The auto_pause flag on THREAT events paused Sim when the modal fired, but
resolve_current() never resumed it. Player dismisses the modal expecting play
to continue; sim stays paused; pawns appear stuck. (Surfaced by first real PC
playtest after the controls patch.)
Now: capture Sim.current_speed before paying the pause, restore it on
resolve if the player hasn't manually changed speed during the modal
(current_speed != PAUSE skips restore so the player's choice wins). Field
round-trips via save_dict for the save-during-modal edge case.
Verified MCP runtime: lone_wolf modal fires at boot, speed=0, dismissal
restores speed=1 and pawns immediately walk toward their next job.
