FT fix CI #342: seed log_tax_debit in test_saved_draw_renders_brief_banner — @taxman ledger sprint left the FT stale

CI pipeline #342 surfaced two errors, both on the same selector failure path:

1. `test_saved_draw_renders_brief_banner_with_next_free_draw_timestamp` (test_game_my_sea.py:1233) — DEFINITELY caused by my @taxman ledger sprint (f44a282). The Brief banner on /gameboard/my-sea/ is now server-driven via the `free_draw_brief_payload` context var, which `my_sea_lock` emits via `log_tax_debit` on the first card of a cycle. This FT bypasses `my_sea_lock` by ORM-creating the MySeaDraw row (`_save_draw_for_user` helper) — no tax-debit emitted, no payload, no banner, selector fails. Fix: explicitly call `log_tax_debit(self.gamer, "free_draw_locked")` after the ORM seed, mirroring what `my_sea_lock` would have done in the real flow. Kept the seed scoped to test 3 only (the only test that asserts the Brief); the other tests using `_save_draw_for_user` (picker phase, saved hand slots, DEL portal, etc.) don't need it.

2. `test_carte_blanche_equip_and_multi_slot_gatekeeper` (test_trinket_carte_blanche.py:82) — selector for `.my-sea-sign-gate-brief` (added in `a133a9c` per polish-9 race fix) fails ONLY in the CI batched run, NOT in isolation (3× local runs pass, including running the full carte test class). The most likely chain: the my_sea FT above fails alphabetically FIRST in the batch, raises NoSuchElement after the 10s wait_for timeout. That can leave the test runner / geckodriver / Firefox in a transient bad state that the next test (carte blanche) inherits. Common signature for this kind of CI-only cascade w. one root cause: fix the upstream test, downstream clears too.

Local sweep: the my_sea fix in isolation passes (12.881s); the full carte class passes (34.456s, 3 tests). Expectation: CI pipeline #343 will clear both errors w. this one-line fix.

If carte still fails on the next CI run after the my_sea fix lands, the next step is to inspect the CI screendump for the carte failure (not synced to local) to see what state the page was actually in.
