in role-select.js, selectRole() runs in more precise ordering to ensure card hand for role selection passes to the next gamer after a selection is made; previous bug allowed multiple cards at a single gamer position, which prevented the card hand from making a circuit around the table before depletion; backend fixes including to apps.epic.views.select_role; +2 FTs & +1 IT asserts these features
