The build-playground/ -> mcrogueface.github.io/playground/ copy was manual, which bit us during the #382 session (rebuilt + pushed the engine playground but the site /playground/ still served the stale binaries, so #url= links did nothing locally until the four files were hand-copied).

Add a make deploy-playground target that:

Fails early if build-playground/mcrogueface.wasm is missing (run make playground first)
Fails early if $(SITE_DIR)/playground is missing
Copies mcrogueface.{data,js,wasm,html} into $(SITE_DIR)/playground/
Copies mcrogueface.html -> index.html (GitHub Pages serves index.html at /playground/)
Reuses the existing SITE_DIR ?= $(CURDIR)/../mcrogueface.github.io variable

Still manual afterward: rebuild Jekyll in the site checkout and commit/push the updated binaries. A future step could chain the Jekyll build + commit, but keeping the copy explicit is the minimum fix.
