Joe DiPrima 6a744ef92c #174 root-caused + fixed with a negative control: the binary's ONLY re-descend protection is the burst loop's zone-state guard wrapping the WHOLE per-burst application (@0x4a0446, part_012.c:14661 -- crit roll, TakeDamage, score tally, destroyed-flag; RecurseSegmentTable/SendSubsystemDamage have NO internal re-entry protection: no used-marking, no top gate). The port had narrowed the guard to the crit roll -- continued fire re-saturated dead zones (cascade re-fired: night-16 zone 18 x7, each pass re-pushing crit allotment = the ram 'crits worsened with each collision'), and hits on wreckage kept SCORING (binary awards zero -- a quiet farm-the-wreck exploit). Fix: guard restored to binary scope. Bench: BT_ZONE_HAMMER hook (4Hz explicit-zone self-damage) -- fixed build 1 cascade/10 hits/0 post-saturation applications; NEGATIVE CONTROL (fix stashed): 147 cascades. 147 -> 1. Gotcha 31: guard-scope narrowing -- diff the BRACE SCOPE when transcribing decomp ifs; and prove a bench detects the bug before trusting its pass
