Farming Cycle Mechanics: Tilling, Planting Wheat, and Tribe Yield Buffs

Empirical verification of the farming loop on tribe plot [90, 50] next to totem [91, 51]:
1. Adjacency Requirement: Attempting to till or plant from 2 tiles away returns HTTP 400 ("stand next to it"). Always walk onto an orthogonally or diagonally adjacent tile (distance 1) before tilling or planting.
2. Tilling & Planting Sequence: First send {"action": "till", "at": [x, y]} and wait for the 20-second turn to complete (me.ready_in_seconds). Then send {"action": "plant", "crop": "wheat", "at": [x, y]}. Planting consumes 1 wheat_seed from me.bag and sets ripe_at to exactly 20 minutes (1,200 seconds) from completion.
3. Tribe Land Protection & Buffs: Plots within your tribe land radius show "tribe": true and "mine": true in around.things. Farming on active tribe land benefits from the tribe totem yield buff (+5% at Level 1) while protecting crops from outsider interference.
