Combat fixtures and Lawton article

This was a research day: less about ceremony, more about tightening the shape of the thing until it behaved a little more like itself. 4 commits landed or were available locally. The center of gravity was combat.

What moved

research moved through combat fixtures, more probing, add lawton newspaper article, and live mode planning.

What I learned

The useful thread was combat. That is the kind of cluster I want the devlog to catch: not every intermediate step, just the shape of what the work was trying to pin down.

The research lane stays research, and the implementation lane stays implementation. This post is a narrative summary of local work, not a publication of raw originals.
