fix: wire connections + hint system with star penalty

- Replace elementFromPoint with bounding rect distance search for port
  detection. The SVG wire overlay was intercepting pointer events,
  requiring users to wait for animations before connecting. Now finds
  the closest port-dot within 18px radius regardless of z-index.
- Add hint system: concept text hidden behind "Mostrar Pista" button.
  Using the hint permanently caps the level at 2 stars max. Reiniciar
  resets the penalty. Visual feedback in objectives and completion screen.
