#87/#96: 'mechs die with lightly damaged armor' AUDITED -- no port bug; it's ammo cook-off

Browse Source 
Byte-level audit of the entire damage chain vs the binary, all links exact:
zone stream reads (@0041df5c == engine DAMAGE.cpp), ctor normalization
(@0049ce50; constants 1.0/1e-4/0.5; shipped cells uniform 1/armorPts),
TakeDamage @0041e4e0, the BT override @0049c690 (vital/leg 1.0/0.5/0.0),
CriticalHit @0049ccc4 (0.5 fraction, 1.0 cap, authored-percentage cap),
cook-off chain (@004bc3fc per-salvo stamp / @004bd300 rounds x amount /
@004ac274 divide across the bin's plugged zones).

Measured kill route: 6 of 7 bench deaths were bay-fire detonations --
LRM15 bin 10 rounds x 50 = 500 into its ONE authored carrier zone
(content: madcat bins single-zone; 15 of 22 zones vital) -> one
application 0->1.0 -> instant death, armor bright everywhere else.
Field logs confirm dominance (Rajel 12 bay-fire events, ConnMan 10).
The mech that died conventionally ended 0.97/0.93/0.92/0.85 charred --
darkening accumulates fine when mechs live long enough.

Levers: the #96 heat economy (arms the bay fires) and purge training
(EJECT hold extinguishes -- wired, logged, manual-trained in the pod).

Also corrected a wrong KB address: FUN_0041e4e0 was labeled '.DZM res
compiler' in decomp-reference.md/rendering.md -- it is DamageZone::
TakeDamage (byte-matches DAMAGE.cpp:379); swept both files.
