The flick lesson belongs to the rally modes, and gore's opener is not one

The gate said `G.mode === 'tennis' || G.match`, and mode 'tennis' is two
different things: classic, and the single prologue game a gore run plays before
the court turns. Placement is not the skill that prologue is asking for.
rallyFeel() already draws exactly the line wanted — classic and zombie tennis,
the two modes that ARE rallies — so the hint rides that instead of a mode
string. Verified both ways on a phone-sized preview: the lesson beside the
player in zombie tennis, and gone under gore-opener conditions with everything
else identical.
