When the cursor is held down during gameplay and the game ends, releasing the mouse button would previously start a new game immediately. Now, a fresh click (pointerdown + pointerup) is required to start a new game from both the menu and gameover screens. Uses a freshClickRef to track whether pointerdown occurred in a non-playing phase before allowing pointerup to trigger a new game. Co-Authored-By: bot_apk <apk@cognition.ai>
