v0.13.32 - Fix channeling waste when maxBuffDur hasn't learned true cap

- When maxBuffDur gap (max - current) is < 10, the cap is unreliable
  (first observation mid-battle, not at full duration)
- In that case, skip the fill-level formula entirely
- Only suggest a buff for channeling if it actually needs refresh
  (dur <= minTurns from BUFF_PRIORITY)
- Once maxBuffDur learns the true cap (after a fresh cast), the
  normal fill-level scoring takes over correctly
