The heat economy now bites back, verified under sustained fire:
- Ballistic gate 1 (@4bbd36): destroyed-state or own-sink FailureHeat pins
full recoil + the unavailable alarm (the NoAmmo roach-motel re-asserts).
- CheckForJam (@4bbfcc): p = 0.41*T/failT clamped [minJamChance, 1.0], rolled
per granted shot against the MUNGA uniform Random. Interim heat-degraded
gate stands in for the deferred LiveFireEnabled novice switch (the exact
spurious-cold-jam trap the BT411 port documented). VERIFIED: SRM6s jam at
T~1200-1320 after riding past the authored 1000-degree threshold, and stay
jammed (mission-reset recovery only) -- authentic.
- Emitter hard gate (@4baab9): FailureHeat drops the beam state + charge each
frame; SELF-RECOVERING once conduction cools the sink below failure.
VERIFIED: the PPC settles into an emergent thermal duty cycle -- fire at
~1930K, spike to 2562K, shutdown, cool, refire -- firing exactly as fast as
its sink sheds heat; the lasers oscillate around ~2200K.
Zero Fail. Deferred: LiveFireEnabled/HeatModelOff experience gates,
mech-disabled gate halves, coolant depletion, jam recovery via mission reset.
