Summary

Reverts most of the inner-system planet flybys added in #21. Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune are factually so close together in real AU that all four toasts fire in the first ~7 seconds at typical throttle.

Now

AU Label ETA at speed 3
30 Past Neptune ~10s
100 Past Pluto ~30s
250 Past the heliopause ~1 min
1,000 Inner Oort cloud ~5 min
10,000 Deep Oort cloud ~1 hr
63,241 One light-year ~6 hr
270,000 Approaching Proxima Centauri ~25 hr

Each milestone has at least 3× the time gap of the previous, so they read as landmarks rather than a stream.

Test plan

  • Quality + CodeQL pass
  • Manual: fly 30 AU, expect Neptune toast (~10s in)
  • Manual: keep flying, no second toast until 100 AU

Reported: Jupiter / Saturn / Uranus / Neptune all fired within the first
~7 seconds of flight, turning the start into a notification stream rather
than a sequence of landmarks.

Now 7 milestones with a comfortable rhythm:

  30 AU       Past Neptune                  (~10s, first reward)
  100 AU      Past Pluto                    (~30s)
  250 AU      Past the heliopause           (~1 min)
  1,000 AU    Inner Oort cloud              (~5 min)
  10,000 AU   Deep Oort cloud               (~1 hr)
  63,241 AU   One light-year                (~6 hr)
  270,000 AU  Approaching Proxima Centauri  (~25 hr)

Each one has at least 3x temporal spacing from the previous so they read
as genuine waypoints. Player still gets early "you're flying" feedback
via Neptune.
