Death at zero, and a case brief that answers the useful questions

Browse Source 
R-223: nothing happened at 0 hit points. An agent was marked down and lay there
forever; the only mention of death in the system was flavour text on a destroyed
head. Zero now starts a clock whose length is the agent's own Major Wound
threshold, ticked from the same hook that charges blood loss. First Aid or
Medicine stabilises and stops the count; healing above zero clears it; heal()
refuses the dead. On death, Coherence decides what the record says — from a
proper death in service down to not being recorded as dead at all.

Case generator: four phases instead of five (the arc drew two interchangeable
middles that read as padding). The brief now leads with Where / When /
Classification / Phases, states the opposition in full, and has a "How you get
back" section. place and duration were generated and never printed. The same
facts are on the case file itself. 300 seeds checked for object leaks; one found
and fixed (group taboo/desire are objects with .text).

**R-222 confirmed across the board.** Every agent came out of this case with ticks —
Dodge, First Aid, Firearm (Pistol), Firearm (Rifle), Navigate — where before the fix
a case produced none at all from phase work.
## Zero hit points now means something
**R-223 · nothing happened at zero.** An agent reduced to 0 hit points was marked down
and then lay there indefinitely. Bleeding deliberately stops at zero, no rule advanced
anything, and the only mention of death in the entire system was flavour text on a
destroyed head location. A game with hit locations, Major Wounds and bleeding had no
way for anyone to die.
Hit points are not taken below zero — every damage path clamps there and unpicking
that would touch everything. Zero starts a clock instead:
above 2 up
2 or below DOWN — out of the fight, still conscious, still yours
0 DYING — unconscious, no actions, no defences, the count begins
count met DEAD
The count is the agent's own **Major Wound threshold**, so the number that already
decides how much damage they take standing up also decides how long they have on the
floor, with a floor of two rounds. It ticks from the same end-of-round hook that
charges blood loss, so nobody has to remember it — which is exactly why bleeding
worked and dying did not exist.
**Stabilising** takes First Aid or Medicine and stops the count. It does not put
anyone back on their feet: still zero, still unconscious, until somebody heals them
above it, which clears the count automatically. A FUMBLED attempt over a dying agent
costs them a round they do not have. `heal()` now refuses the dead, which is the one
place that had to say so because every medical path routes through it.
**The last entry.** A Custodian's death is a filing question. How well filed they were
decides what the record says: at Coherence 7+ a death in service with a form and a
pension; at 4–6 two dates of death on file and Registry asking which is correct; at
1–3 a file that will not close, with correspondence still arriving and being answered;
at 0 they are not recorded as dead at all but filed as transferred, to a section the
department cannot produce an address for.
Four rules, ten spot-checks, on the sheet as a banner in all three states, and
documented in the rulebook. 44 rules, 148 formulas.
## The case generator, simplified and made to say the useful things
**Four phases, not five.** The arc drew TWO interchangeable middle phases, which read
as padding — two seeds in a row produced "The search" then "Inside" with nothing to
tell them apart. One middle phase: Approach, the thing in the way, the job, and out.
**The brief now answers the operational questions first.** It opened on a
classification note and never stated where the site was, how long the team had, what
was likely to be in the way, or how they were getting out — all of which the generator
already knew and threw away. `place` and `duration` were generated and never printed.
The brief now leads with a table of Where / When / Classification / Phases, then the
job, then what is reported, then a full section on the opposition — numbers, tier,
motive, tactics, and what might work instead of shooting — then **How you get back**:
the extraction ground, the Transposition roll, the classification modifier, and the
warning that a bad crossing is the only way an Art is ever acquired.
The same four facts are now on the CASE FILE ITSELF, so a GM does not have to open the
journal to answer "where are we and how long have we got".
Checked across 300 seeds for `[object Object]`, `undefined` and `NaN` in every
generated page: clean. One real leak found and fixed on the way — the group's taboo
and desire are objects with a `.text`, and the brief was printing the object.

<p>These stack, with each other and with a shattered limb, and they are applied to

<h2>Zero hit points</h2>
<p>Hit points do not go below zero. Zero starts a clock instead.</p>

<p>Each round at zero adds ${DYING.perRound} to the count. When the count reaches your
own <strong>Major Wound</strong> threshold you are <strong>dead</strong> — so the same
number that decides how much damage you can take standing up also decides how long you
have on the floor. A minimum of ${DYING.minCount} rounds applies however slight you are.</p>
<p><strong>Stabilising</strong> takes ${DYING.stabiliseWith.join(" or ")} and stops the
count. It does not put you back on your feet: you are still at zero and still
unconscious until somebody heals you above it. Healing above zero clears the count.
A <em>fumbled</em> attempt over a dying agent costs them a round they do not have.</p>
