Respawn-paint investigation: 10 forced respawns on the i22 rig showed
paint STABLE across in-place respawns on both master and replicant --
the in-place reset does NOT repaint. Two real findings landed:
1. 'Red' is NOT a camo color (the vehicle table authors Crimson=red for
camo; Red exists only as a PATCH color) -- an egg with color=Red
paints the mech silent gray from first spawn (the engine tolerates
the table miss by design). The relay now WARNS at egg load on any
color= outside the camo set; our MPSHORT test egg had exactly this
bug (fixed).
2. [paint] log now carries the entity id, so the one-time-observed
nondeterministic video-model rebuilds (sernos 2-5 with swapped
colors, run 1 only) will be attributable when they recur.
The reported color/style change on respawn remains unreproduced in the
deterministic rig -- needs the observer detail (whose mech, which view)
from the next field sighting.
