Phase 1: Stabilize legacy Pygame runtime #1

Description

@sparshsam

Objective

Stabilize the preserved Hiss-Tastic runtime without changing gameplay identity.

Scope

  • Remove runtime dependency auto-install logic from hiss_tastic.py
  • Preserve venv + requirements.txt workflow
  • Add safer startup/error handling
  • Improve runtime readability
  • Preserve current gameplay behavior

Rationale

The current runtime works, but startup/install behavior and global structure make maintenance harder and less predictable.

Acceptance Criteria

  • Game still launches with python hiss_tastic.py
  • No auto-install behavior remains in gameplay runtime
  • No gameplay mechanics intentionally changed
  • README/setup instructions remain accurate
  • Changelog updated appropriately

Constraints

  • Do not add features
  • Do not redesign gameplay
  • Preserve legacy prototype identity
