Castle Siege state was in-memory, so the castle owner (and thus the P4 hunting-map
reward) reset on every server restart/redeploy. Now the context marks itself dirty
on any persistable change (phase transition, registration, owner set); the plugin's
periodic tick writes a snapshot into its own PlugInConfiguration CustomConfiguration
(a JSON blob already stored in PostgreSQL - no schema migration) and restores it on
startup. Battle state (defenses/switches/occupier) stays transient. +2 unit tests.
