fix: actually assign proxies from pool to remote player slots

KEY FIX:
We were discovering pre-placed proxies into a pool, but NEVER
actually USING them when assigning remote players to slots!

CHANGES:
- Modified TryResolveSlotProxy() to grab from proxy pool
- If slot has no proxyHandle, try TryGetProxyFromPool()
- Assign pooled proxy to slot on first resolution
- Log when proxy is assigned from pool

Now the flow is:
1. InitializeProxyPool() discovers pre-placed proxies  ✅
2. Remote player connects, slot is created  ✅
3. TryResolveSlotProxy() called - grabs from pool  ✅ NEW!
4. Proxy assigned to remote player  ✅ NEW!
5. Movement and animations work!  ✅
