which also fixed a direct hit on a corpse raising `Death` again. A three-kill blast test was added.
362 tests pass.
**Operator ruling needed:** a fused weapon fired with no target bursts at the shooter's own
position (`FireControl.cs:391`). This predates 12.4. Self recommends a max-range burst along the

**Ruled (operator, 2026-09-30): "fused weapons without a lock explode at max range."** This is no longer
open. Landed at `8c002637` (fix) and `3e8ee022` (tests), and Soul confirmed it. That Soul pass raised four
follow-up rulings, all given on 2026-09-30:
- **The aim is `LookDirection`, restricted by the mount's arc.** The operator notes this was already the case;
the fix had used the hull-fixed mount.
- **An invalid target counts as no lock.** A target that is selected but out of range, out of arc, not
visible, or not locked takes the no-lock path. Nothing bursts beyond max range.
- **A no-lock contact fuse stops on the first hull on its aim line**, computed at commit. Mining adds chunks
to this through a named seam.
- **A round outlives its shooter,** for targeted and no-lock shots alike. Credit and loot with no shooter go
nowhere.
Soul also found two more defects:
- A fused weapon with `Range <= BlastRadius` bursts on its shooter. The fix is to refuse it when the catalog
opens.
- A burst without a target reads as MISS in the debug HUD.
Fix batch 2 covers all six, in Hands on `hands/fuse-fix2`. The stale lines about "`BurstPosition` is read
only for a proximity fuse" and the Apply rules below it are superseded by these rulings.
Recorded unguarded: if a `Death` handler removes another ship mid-blast, that ship
still takes blast damage.
