fix(tui): rename ActorSelectionOverlay._render to avoid shadowing Textual Widget._render

Renamed ActorSelectionOverlay._render() to _refresh_display() to avoid
shadowing the Textual Widgets internal _render method. The overlay class
inherits from textual.widgets.Static which has its own _render for rendering
widget content. Shadowing this caused incorrect repaint behavior and
interfered with Textual layout pass, resulting in
AttributeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'get_height'.

Also added a TDD regression test (tdd_actor_selection_render_rename.feature)
and fixed CHANGELOG.md by moving the ActorSelectionOverlay entry under the
### Fixed subsection within [Unreleased].

+Feature: ActorSelectionOverlay._refresh_display does not shadow Textual Static._render
+
+  This test captures bug #11039. The original ``_render()`` method name on
+  ``ActorSelectionOverlay`` shadowed the internal ``Textual.widgets.Static``
+  ``_render`` method that Textual calls during its layout pass. Shadowing
+  this caused **AttributeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'get_height'**
+  because our custom ``_render()`` did not return rendered content — it only
+  called ``self.update(content)`` and returned nothing, which made Textual's
+  caller receive ``None``. The fix renamed the method to ``_refresh_display()``.
+
+  This scenario verifies that after the rename:
+  - Calling ``show()`` on the overlay does **not** raise ``AttributeError``
+  - The internal ``_refresh_display()`` method is used instead of shadowing
+    the inherited ``Textual.Static._render()``
+  - The widget's ``update()`` method receives rendered content properly
+
+  The regression guard ensures this bug never reappears.
+
+  Scenario: show() calls _refresh_display without shadowing Static._render
+    Given a new ActorSelectionOverlay
+    When I call show on the overlay
+    Then no AssertionError should be raised
