/**
 * 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.

 * The first draft of this file hardcoded the anchor table from a THREADS entry

 * the decision-2 branch anchors nowhere near where I'd guessed. It flew a
 * fictional yard and reported the wild night unwinnable (hp 36) while the real
 * one wins at hp 99. That is the same failure as Sprint 3's 16.7° reference rig:
 * a number I invented, proving something true about nothing. A balance suite in
 * particular cannot afford it — the yard IS the balance. So: build the real
 * world, take its anchors, and freeze only the sway.
 *
 * Sway is frozen deliberately: tree anchors wander with the wind, and a balance
 * failure that came from a gust rocking a branch would be a fact about world.js,
 * not about whether the shop can buy a winnable rig.

  //
  //   tree wind-shelter (main.js:369 calls setSheltersFromTrees, this didn't)
  //                                     ... on vs off: hp 36 either way
  //   tension (this hardcoded 0.9, the game defaults 1.0)
  //                                     ... 0.6 / 0.75 / 0.9 / 1.0: hp 36, 2 lost, all four
  //   drain wiring (garden.step's signature changed to take hail+rain separately)
  //                                     ... same arithmetic: 5.0/0.25 × 0.9. Identical.
  //   yard geometry (the bug that bit this file once already)
  //                                     ... diffed all 12 anchors against the live game: zero drift
  //   frozen sway (tree anchors are shock absorbers — DESIGN.md)
  //                                     ... live sway is WORSE, not better: t2 4.4 → 4.6 kN
  //
  // What's left is not a harness difference, it's arithmetic. On this quad t2
  // peaks at 4.4-4.9 kN and a shackle is rated 3.2. t2 cannot hold, under any
  // variation above. Losing it spends the only spare; then p3 (3.7) or t2b (3.4)
  // — both also over 3.2 — goes too. Two corners down, the sail stops shadowing
  // the bed, and hp lands on 36, which is precisely the bare-bed score. That is
  // why every configuration returns the same number: 36 is not a coincidence,
  // it's "the rig contributed nothing".
  //
  // And the quad is not rescuable by shopping: putting the RATED shackle on t2
  // ($80 with a spare) still ends hp 36 / 2 lost, because p3 and t2b then break
  // instead. This quad needs THREE corners above shackle grade and $80 buys two.
  //
  // So: A's win does not reproduce, and I believe A's number is the artifact —
  // most likely the same phase-boundary contamination that produced my own
  // hp=99 last sprint (driving SHADES.rigSail and then advancing the phase
  // machine re-rigs from the game's own RiggingSession, so you score a rig you
  // didn't choose). A: the check is one line — assert rig.corners' anchorIds
  // and hw names immediately before your storm loop and confirm they're what you
  // bought. If they are, I'm wrong and the cause is still open.
