ci: bump version with Build-145

In the native image the JAX-RS client buffers streaming responses, so reading
the NDJSON game stream blocks forever — the bot discovered its game ("Playing
game …") but never saw its turn and never moved, with no error. Replace the
game-stream consumer with a poll loop over plain GET game-state calls (which
work natively): when it is our turn, compute and submit. Drop the now-unused
stream consumer, move helper, and game-stream opener. Auto-join no longer
spawns per-tournament event-stream threads; polling handles discovery + play.
