The gate is `AFlags`, not `VFlags`/`EFlags`, and all three agree on nearly every corpus system so the wrong one *looks right*.

A whole-image scan finds three stores to `+0x164` — `ProcessTurn`'s encounter loop writes 1, `ResumePlaying` writes 0 on load, and `MarkPlayerTurnEnded` writes 4 from the End-Turn **submission** paths, *before* the turn runs. It needs **one predicate**, not a watchpoint — and only two corpus saves carry a non-zero `Status`, so an entry probe should name the set (rule 20). | `app` | lane T2 | S31 regression |
