Use HoF team for genlocke retirement instead of all alive Pokemon	todo	task	normal	2026-02-09T09:15:00Z	2026-02-09T09:15:03Z	nuzlocke-tracker-8w9s	nuzlocke-tracker-25mh

The current retireHoF implementation in advance_leg() retires ALL alive, non-shiny, caught Pokemon from the completed run. This is incorrect — only the Hall of Fame team (up to 6 Pokemon selected by the player) should be retired.

Current behavior

# genlockes.py — retires everything alive
select(Encounter.pokemon_id).where(
    Encounter.run_id == current_leg.run_id,
    Encounter.status == "caught",
    Encounter.faint_level.is_(None),
    Encounter.is_shiny.is_(False),
)

Desired behavior

• If the run has hof_encounter_ids set, use those encounter IDs to determine which Pokemon to retire
• If hof_encounter_ids is not set (legacy/skipped), fall back to the current "all alive" behavior for backwards compatibility
• Only the HoF team members and their evolutionary families get added to the retired list

Changes needed

• Update advance_leg() in backend/src/app/api/genlockes.py to check current_run.hof_encounter_ids first
• If present, query only those encounters for retirement
• If absent, keep the current fallback query
• Update the frontend RunEncounters.tsx to also scope retiredPokemonIds correctly (no change needed — it reads from the backend response)

Checklist

• Update advance_leg() to prefer hof_encounter_ids over all-alive query
• Verify backwards compatibility when hof_encounter_ids is null
