Trade Queue GUI

Opening /exptrade pending shows a chest with one row per queued trade:

Slot	Item	Meaning
1	Clock	Seconds remaining before this trade expires
2	Player Head	Who sent the trade
3	Water Bucket / Bucket	Offer (giving XP) / Request (asking for XP)
4	Paper	Trade details on hover (from, type, amount)
8	Recovery Compass	Click to accept
9	Compass	Click to decline

The GUI stays open after each action as long as trades remain in the queue.
