Meta Vens 70c3e0ccdb Cut 12.3, sub-cut A: armour absorbs first down the direct-hit lane
Deletes Entity.DamageSchematic (the even split over the whole hit shape)
and Entity.ApplyHit (the 0.5-step penetration march), replacing both with
Entity.Absorb (armour then item, per cell) and Entity.DamageHull, moved
verbatim from DamageSchematic's own body. FireControl.Apply now builds
2n+1 parallel lanes from the committed Bearing/Lateral (Q12-2 = A),
shares damage evenly over the lanes that meet metal, walks each lane in
order via the already-verified FireControl.Lane, absorbing cell by cell
up to the penetration depth, and sends every lane's own remainder to the
hull where it ends (Q12-3 = A). Splash is rewritten onto Absorb/DamageHull
(arithmetically identical to before) since DamageSchematic is gone.
