/**
 * balance.test.js — is the game FAIR?  [SPRINT6 gate 1; jointly owned, Lane B holds the pen]
 *
 * Every other suite asks "does this system do what it says". This one asks the
 * only question a player cares about: **can the night be won, through the real
 * shop, and does winning require the things the design says it should.**
 *
 * It is deliberately a browser suite. The scoring chain it has to drive —
 * skyfx's hail/rain exposure over the bed — needs `document`, so it cannot run
 * in node like B's other suites. Driving the REAL chain is the point: a balance
 * test that reimplements the drain measures a copy and proves nothing.
 *
 * The shape of every assert here is:
 *   1. build a loadout through RiggingSession, so the $80 shop is real money;
 *   2. fly the real storm JSON over an in-band quad from the real yard;
 *   3. integrate the real exposure helpers into the real garden drain;
 *   4. judge with main.js's own win rule (hp >= 50 && corners lost < 2).
 *
 * Measured 2026-07-18 on merged main (weights hail 5.0 / rain 0.25, drain 0.9,
 * downdraftOfTotal 0.45). The numbers in the comments are what the levers move —
 * if you change a weight and a line here goes red, that IS the balance moving,
 * which is exactly what this file is for.
