FABRIC and setFabric() shipped in SPRINT6 and the sim honoured porosity
all along, but no key, click or HUD line ever reached them — every rig
ever played was DEFAULT_FABRIC. F toggles the two entries, the panel
shows the fabric, the splash teaches it, the blurb announces the switch.
Session-level assert pins the cycle, the $0 price, and the refusal of
unknown ids.
