🤖Neo Angband: Borg v0.6.1

Changed

• This version requires Neo Angband 0.25.0 or newer. manifest.json’s engine range moves from >=0.12.0 to >=0.25.0, and for a mod that ships code an out-of-range engine is a refusal rather than a warning: an older game declines to load this and says why, instead of loading a Borg with two of its parts missing. Both of those parts are what make it an autoplayer rather than a library. The restart-on-death loop arrived in 0.25.0, and playing itself over and over is the entire point of a Borg. AgentView.simulateLoadout arrived in 0.25.0, and without it the Borg wears nothing it finds, buys nothing it needs and sells nothing it is finished with. No earlier version of this mod ran a working autoplayer on any engine, so a hard floor breaks no installation that was playing properly.
• The plugin no longer probes for that capability, and no longer has a degraded path to fall back to. It reads ctx.registries and ctx.state as facts it is entitled to, wires all four resolver seams from them unconditionally, and refuses a context missing either one by name rather than playing on blind. That refusal cannot be reached through the game’s own loader, which rejects an out-of-range engine before it imports a mod’s code. It is there because the alternative failure is silent: a Borg with no resolvers still issues a legal command every turn and looks exactly like a Borg making bad choices.
• makeCoreResolvers no longer takes a loadout input. The seam is installed unconditionally, and the null it can still answer with is a property of the view it is handed rather than of the engine version.

Fixed

• The README said the Borg “does not flag your save”. Handing the keyboard over sets the save’s NOSCORE_BORG flag, which keeps the character off the high-score table for the rest of its life, so the sentence was answering a narrower question (determinism) with a wider claim. Both facts are now stated separately: the Borg costs nothing in reproducibility, and it does mark the character. That mark is upstream’s own behaviour and it cannot be cleared, which is exactly the sort of thing a player should not discover from the score screen.
• The README said the Borg does not start a new character when it dies. It does, and from this version that is a requirement rather than a bonus. The restart-on-death loop is entirely the engine’s, and needed no code here: a controller can only return a PlayerCommand, and birth has no representation in that set, so there is nothing this mod could return that means “roll me a new character”. The game’s own death handler reincarnates the player in place whenever a mod holds the keyboard - same session, same save slot, a rolled race and class each time.
