/**
 * 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.

  /**
   * D's settled-at-entry guard, REDESIGNED (SPRINT9, B+D). It now measures SHAPE, not load.
   *
   * The guard exists for one reason: a harness that rigs and storms in the same tick measures a
   * cloth still falling out of its flat _build() shape, and pretends that is a rig. That bug cost
   * two sprints, so the settle above has to prove it worked.
   *
   * The Sprint-8 version asked the question with LOAD and could not answer it. Measured tonight,
   * why every load-based form fails:
   *   · in CALM (what the rig settles in) there is no transient to see at all — worst-corner mean
   *     reads 0.30 kN unsettled vs 0.47 kN settled, i.e. the unsettled rig is LIGHTER, and the
   *     trend test passes at every settle length from 0 s to 20 s. A guard that cannot fail is
   *     decoration.
   *   · in the STORM at a held t=0 it read a 105% "trend" — but that is the calm→storm step change,
   *     which the REAL GAME ALSO HAS (`wind.use(to === 'storm' ? winds[stormKey] : calmWind)` on the
   *     phase change). It was never a harness artifact; the suite was being faithful and the guard
   *     was calling it a bug.
   *   · the integrator's ponding diagnosis at the Sprint-8 merge does not hold either: every storm's
   *     rain curve starts at [0, 0], so `storm_02.rainMmPerHour(0)` is 0.0 mm/h and a held clock
   *     rains nothing. (Their 2 s windows were also shorter than the cloth's breath — 2 s reads a
   *     32% trend on a settled rig where 3 s reads 6%.)
   *
   * So ask the physical question instead: HAS THE CLOTH STOPPED MOVING. Mean node drift separates
   * cleanly, ~6x either side of the line, and unlike load it cannot be confused by wind or water:
   *     unsettled (0 s)  → 212 mm/s   (cover quad) · 208 mm/s (miss quad)
   *     settled (8-20 s) → 35 mm/s worst case, typically 4-6
   * The integrator's 600 N floor was a sound amendment to the LOAD design and is not carried over —
   * drift has no units of force to need a floor, and it needs no threshold on "does it matter"
   * because 212-vs-35 is not a judgement call.
