-  "_hail_comment": "The trick. storm_02 hails ~11 seconds all night; this holds 26 s at full intensity straight through the change, plus size 1.4 stones and ice on every gust ≥9 (a lower bar than storm_02's 10, so more of them carry it). Expect ~3x storm_02's hail-seconds — a bare bed should be stripped, and a bed under cloth that HOLDS should still come through.",
+  "_hail_comment": "The trick, and it is TUNED not maxed. storm_02 hails ~11.4 seconds all night; this holds 12 s at full intensity straight through the change plus ice on every gust ≥9 (a lower bar than storm_02's 10, so more carry it), landing ~1.6x storm_02's hail-seconds with size 1.4 stones. The first draft ran a 26 s hold for 32 hail-seconds — 2.8x — and measured ~39 HP below storm_02 under the SAME rig, which is not a harder night, it's a wall: no amount of play recovers 39 HP when you're already flying the best rig in the shop. 1.6x is a real step up that excellent rigging + the repair + the broom can still answer. Winnability across all five nights is balance.test.js's job (B holds the pen) — these variants need to be in its storm list.",
