Loadout comparison: two builds for the same Hunter

Tests the compareLoadouts utility. Same character stats, two different equipment setups, computes expected DPS for each. This is what build calculators do — and it's the most user-facing function in the simulator.

Computed: LoadoutComparison · 2 loadouts × 2 targets

Server-evaluated by compareLoadouts(). Each cell runs the auto-attack physical pipeline in expected mode and multiplies by the analytical hits-per-second derived from ASPD.
