Cut 3's harness reported OutOfArcConsumesNoDraw as "not yet reached" -- no
mutation could turn it red. Chasing that rather than accepting it found the
reason, and it is not a fixture defect.
The test asserted that a shot gated to zero draws nothing from ItemManager.
Random, so the shared stream advanced exactly as if the shot had never queued.
Cut 6b moved every roll onto a per-shot local generator seeded from (zone, shot
id), so Commit stopped touching that stream on EVERY path. The test then passed
for a reason unrelated to arcs -- it passed identically with the target dead
ahead -- and the rule it named stopped existing along with the stream it was
about. The short-circuit it guarded is now a cheap guard, not an invariant, and
Commit's comment was still asserting otherwise.
Rewritten as CombatNeverDrawsFromTheSharedStream, a Theory over both an
out-of-arc and an in-arc target, pinning the rule that IS live after 6b: no
combat path draws from the shared stream at all. Verified by hand -- restoring
the shared-stream read in Commit turns the in-arc case red while the out-of-arc
case stays green, which is exactly why the old test could not have caught it.
218 tests pass. All six mutation harnesses run clean with tree-clean PASS.
