The un-wreck receipt had no partner, so counting ghosts in a field log meant
pairing it against
[BTrender] wreck: 'thrdbr.bgf' missing -> gendbr.bgf fallback
which is a MISSING-ASSET WARNING, not a death -- it only prints for chassis
whose wreck model is absent. Night 13's census found ONE ghost while testers
reported many, and there was no way to separate a real count from a chassis
accident.
Emit one ungated line for every REPLICANT entering the wreck state, symmetric
with the existing un-wreck line, so a log's ghost count is exactly
(wreck-enters minus un-wrecks) per entity:
[wreck] replicant H:E entered wreck state (mode X->9) at (x,z)
[respawn] replicant H:E un-wrecked + warp (mode 9->1) at (x,z)
Verified 2-node (200s, force-damage victim): 5 enters, 5 exits, exactly
paired -- while the old marker printed ZERO times in the same run. That gap
is the point: five real deaths, invisible to what the census was reading.
Also lands the night-13 census tooling (ghostcensus.py) and the eject benches
that did NOT reproduce, with their failure modes in the headers so the next
attempt does not repeat them: five rigs failed to trigger a punch-out at all
(BT_BTNTEST never reached the mapper for 0x3D or 0x14; BT_EJECT_AT did not
fire either). Panic-eject replication remains UNTESTED by bench.
