My Sea iter 6a: gatekeeper page + INSERT/REFUND/PAID DRAW endpoints + MySeaDraw deposit fields + _select_my_sea_token / debit_my_sea_token helpers (CARTE blocked, COIN 24h cooldown not 7-day) + Sprint 6 FT skeleton — Sprint 5 iter 6a of My Sea roadmap — TDD

First of three Sprint 6 commits per [[sprint-my-sea-iter-6-plan]]. Replaces the iter-4c 404 stub at `/gameboard/my-sea/gate/` w. a real token-deposit-to-redraw UI. Iter 6b will wire the navbar GATE VIEW swap + landing PAID DRAW state + seat-1 persistence; iter 6c will land the bud-btn stub.

## Server

`MySeaDraw` gains two fields: `deposit_token_id` (int, nullable) + `deposit_reserved_at` (datetime, nullable). Migration 0002. The row plays triple duty now: hand storage + 24h quota tracker + deposit reservation slot.

`_select_my_sea_token(user)` mirrors `apps.epic.models.select_token` priority (PASS > COIN > FREE > TITHE) w. two adaptations:
- CARTE excluded outright (door-spell trinket, not valid for my-sea draws).
- COIN cooldown-respecting: filters out COINs w. `next_ready_at > now`. Standard `select_token` doesn't apply this filter — room logic unchanged.

`debit_my_sea_token(user, token)` is the my-sea variant of `apps.epic.models.debit_token`:
- CARTE → ValueError (defensive; caller validates upstream).
- COIN: `next_ready_at = now + 24h` (not 7-day room cycle) + unequip from kit if equipped.
- PASS: no consumption (auto-admit, unlimited redraws).
- FREE / TITHE: deleted.

`my_sea_gate` view replaces the 404 stub. Renders the gatekeeper template w. branching on `deposit_reserved` (token reserved on row vs not).

`my_sea_insert_token` POST: picks a token via `_select_my_sea_token` + sets `deposit_token_id + deposit_reserved_at`. Creates the row if missing (so a fresh user can deposit without first using their free draw). Idempotent w.r.t. an already-reserved deposit.

`my_sea_refund_token` POST: clears deposit fields. Token isn't consumed at INSERT (refund-aware design), so this is purely a row update — no inventory side effects.

`my_sea_paid_draw` POST: commits via `debit_my_sea_token` + resets row (hand=[], created_at=now, deposit fields cleared). Redirects to `/gameboard/my-sea/` for a fresh quota cycle.

## Template + UX

`apps/gameboard/my_sea_gate.html` (new) — per user spec 2026-05-20, the gatekeeper is a darkened-modal-over-`--duoUser` bg matching the room gatekeeper's chrome (`.gate-backdrop` + `.gate-overlay` + `.gate-modal`). No hex / chair-seats — those live on the my-sea picker page itself; the gatekeeper is a transient in-flight UI for token deposit.

Coin-slot rails (mirrors room's `.token-slot`):
- Pre-deposit: form-wrapped `.token-rails` button → POSTs to `my_sea_insert_token`. Coin-panel labels read INSERT TOKEN TO PLAY.
- Post-deposit: rails inert (no form); `.token-return-btn` form → POSTs to `my_sea_refund_token`. Coin-panel labels swap to PUSH TO RETURN.
- Post-deposit: PAID DRAW btn (`#id_my_sea_paid_draw_btn`, `.btn-primary`) → POSTs to `my_sea_paid_draw`. Mirrors the room's PICK ROLES btn shape.

SCSS minimal — page bg `rgba(--duoUser, 1)` on `.my-sea-page[data-phase="gate"]`; everything else reuses the room gatekeeper's existing rules.

## FT skeleton

Per user TDD directive (2026-05-20: "Also via TDD so if we run out we're adhering to FT-described behavior"), wrote the FULL Sprint 6 FT skeleton up front (covers iter 6a + 6b + 6c). Five new FT classes in `test_game_my_sea.py`:

- `MySeaGatekeeperPageTest` (5 tests) — iter 6a; pre-deposit / INSERT / REFUND / PAID DRAW paths.
- `MySeaLandingPaidDrawTest` (1 test) — iter 6b; landing renders PAID DRAW btn when deposit reserved (red until iter 6b lands).
- `MySeaNavbarGateViewTest` (1 test) — iter 6b; navbar GATE VIEW swap (red until iter 6b).
- `MySeaSeatOnePersistenceTest` (2 tests) — iter 6b; seat 1 banned for fresh user + empty-hand active draw (red until iter 6b).
- `MySeaBudBtnStubTest` (2 tests) — iter 6c; panel opens + OK shows coming-soon Brief (red until iter 6c).

## ITs (iter 6a — 22 new + 153 total green)

- `MySeaGateViewTest` (4) — view branching pre/post deposit.
- `MySeaInsertTokenViewTest` (4) — row creation, existing row, idempotency, GET=405.
- `MySeaRefundTokenViewTest` (3) — clears fields, no token consumption, idempotent.
- `MySeaPaidDrawViewTest` (6) — FREE consumed, COIN cooldown + unequip, PASS no-op, hand reset, created_at reset, redirect.
- `SelectMySeaTokenTest` (3) — CARTE excluded, COIN cooldown excluded, PASS priority for staff.
- `DebitMySeaTokenTest` (4) — CARTE ValueError, FREE/TITHE consumed, PASS preserved.

## Trap caught

Existing User `post_save` signal auto-creates COIN + FREE tokens (`apps.lyric.models:309`). Sprint 6 ITs that assert "user has only the token I seeded" must `self.user.tokens.all().delete()` after User.create. Without it, `_select_my_sea_token` returns the auto-COIN instead of None for the CARTE-excluded test. Worth a future feedback memory if it bites again.
