 - **Forcing a specific step in a live Play smoke without input:** the step machine's `_step`/`_mask`/`_stepInit` are private — set them via reflection on `world.GetExistingSystemManaged(typeof(OnboardingSystem))`; remember an MCP `screenshot` can leave the editor **paused** (`EditorApplication.isPaused`), so the field write won't surface until you unpause. Pause + reflection-restyle the `_pointer` Label is also how to get a clean glyph capture (OnUpdate would otherwise overwrite the style next frame).
 
 Net-zero: archive-only add (no CLAUDE.md bytes changed), so no inline condensation needed.

+## 2026-07-04 — Demo polish pass: superseded CLAUDE.md core-loop bullet (archived verbatim)
+
+Replaced in CLAUDE.md by the DR-044 ready-check-runs bullet (the expedition redesign retired
+`BaseFieldSpawnSystem`/`ExpeditionGateSystem`/`ExpeditionFieldSystem`):
+
+> - **Core loop is base-local ★ (DR-031 · DR-042):** `BaseFieldSpawnSystem` (server) tops up `RegionTag{Base}` Ore nodes around `BaseGridMath.PlotCenter` (DISTINCT `BaseFieldSpawner`; `SetComponent`-override Region+Ore — Add throws; Ore-only). **Win = expedition CLEARS (DR-042):** `ExpeditionGateSystem` is sole writer of `GoalProgress.Charge` (+1/clear on RETURN); base sieges = **retaliation only**, blind `ScheduleEnabled` baked OFF (★ a serialized prefab bool ignores the C# initializer — flip `CycleDirector.prefab`, not the authoring default). `ExpeditionFieldSystem` teardown Expedition-filtered (else wipes base field); dormant expedition at `base+(1000,0,0)` hidden via `GhostRelevancy`. See [[DR-031_Base_Mining_Loop_Cohesion]] · [[DR-013_M6_Aether_Cycle_Region_Split]] · [[DR-042_Loop_Reshape_Expedition_Driven]].

+Also archived from the same pass: the Stack "History" long sentence (6.4.7→6.5.0 validation detail — DR-002 +
+the 2026-06-17 session log hold it), and the harvest bullet's dead BASE→ledger half (base nodes no longer
+exist; in-run nodes → personal `InventorySlot`, spill→ledger, `G`=deposit is unchanged). One-off corruption
+note: `Assets/_Project/Scripts/Simulation/Meta.meta` was committed whitespace-only in `Run Re-Do` and stayed
+latent until a package re-resolve forced a full reimport ("The GUID … cannot be extracted") — deleted so Unity
+regenerated it; folder-meta GUIDs are unreferenced, so regeneration is safe.
