Cut 6b: the combat roll stops drawing from the shared ItemManager.Random stream
and becomes a pure function of (zone identity, shot id), so adding an NPC or
opening a shop can no longer reorder an existing fight's dice. Airburst resolves
in the simulation rather than going back into Projectile, which would be exactly
the presentation authority Cut 3 spent itself deleting.
Cut 6c: reviewing Cut 6a's landed catalog found the premium targeting system
strictly worse than the cheap one, because Resolution reads as a cost while its
name promises a benefit. Operator ruling: fix the formula, not the handle -- it
becomes reciprocal, higher stays better, no rename. Also: both designs ship from
one seller, and galaxy generation draws a random subset of factions, so ship
generation still throws in any galaxy that misses that draw.
Cut 7: the mutation harnesses for Cuts 1-3 that the map declared and nobody ever
wrote, plus the fifth mutation Soul left standing.
