bb1f8b4692 lane K: StrategyServer::OnAllCombatDone_Tail mapped, 36 phases from the instruction stream
The second turn driver, 0x007d92a0, read byte for byte. Corrects turn-driver.md
section 5: of the four subsystems it said live here, only bankruptcy does.

- 36-phase map with strides enumerated (EncounterResults 0x178, Encounter 0x74,
  member 0x44) and the arity check that logs but does not return.
- Phase 7 is encounters.clear(), not a filter: the erase pair is the same
  four-argument shape vector<Encounter>::operator= uses, and both arms converge
  three instructions later.
- Bankruptcy: ProcessBankruptcy at phase 15, UpdateBankruptcyLimits at phase 31.
  Three corrections to formula-gaps Q1 - the divisor is the double
  -0.15000000596046448 not -0.15, the per-system income term is clamped at 0
  before summing, and the 3.3 factor lives in .bss and is DB-loaded.
- Turn results are FILLED here (phases 6, 11, 18 write S+0x2f4[PlyrIdx]) but
  rotated by ApplyEncounterResults and dispatched by SynchronizePlayer as event
  0x25 afterwards. sizeof(SETurnResults) = 0x11c, enumerated five ways.
- BuildTurnEvents is misnamed: it is the setup/load/rejoin resync push, gated on
  a pending descriptor, and references no EVENT_ string at all.
- TurnEvents_Write and TurnEvents_Read are swapped in Ghidra (layouts.json is
  right). sizeof(TurnEvents) = 0x18, enumerated four ways.
- The autosave: StrategyHost::Autosave 0x00895210, its four localized paths, the
  rotation that fires only on the post-turn call, the connection detach around
  the write, and why the payload carries nothing time-, name- or machine-derived.
- Two RNG sources in the tail that nothing models: one NextFloat per expired node
  line, plus draws inside the combat resolver. Both run before the autosave.
- S+0x8 advances twice per turn, not once.

Repo-wide correction: the research-event roll costs one or two RNG words, not
one. Fixed in unlock-cascade.md, addresses.json and lane-u.json; the captured
compare artefacts under verify/results are left alone as run records.

0dff4941bd events: recover the player event-posting API (lane E)
Closes B3's oracle gap and B2's known gap. Both milestones write into the
owner's event list; nothing modelled it, so their clean compares bounded the
economy fields only.

Container: EventStorage embedded at ServerPlayer+0x29c (0x1c bytes), verified by
ServerPlayer::GetEventStorage 0x0080db00 whose whole body is 'lea eax,[ecx+0x29c];
ret'. EvNxID at +0x14 == player+0x2b0, exactly the byte run the harness guard
reports. The list is a vector<TurnEvents{int EvTurn; vector<PlayerEvent>}> --
bucketed by turn, not flat, which the save-editor struct note had wrong.

Entry point: int __thiscall EventStorage::PostEvent(this, std::string BY VALUE,
std::string BY VALUE, void* obj, Vector3* pos, int turn, const char* img,
int act), 0x008862b0, RET 0x4c. 161 call sites in 110 functions: this is the
whole simulation's event API, not a research helper. Dedup is per turn bucket on
message/image/location/position/action but NOT summary; act 0 with no subject and
no position is stored as 2; EvNxID starts at 0 and is promoted to 1 on first post;
PruneOldTurns drops buckets older than turn-50 with an off-by-one that always
leaves one stale bucket behind.

Record: 0x74 bytes, EvEID(+4) EvDsc(+8) EvMsg(+0x24) EvLoc(+0x40) EvPos(+0x44)
EvImg(+0x50) EvAct(+0x6c) EvCID(+0x70) -- confirmed field by field against
turn3-state.sav, which contains the EVENT_RESEARCH_OVERBUDGET record itself.

B3's defect is fully explained: 0x00587b97, reached only from the
completion-roll-FAILED branch, under !wasDone && nowDone && owner.

Three note corrections: EvPos defaults to FLT_MAX, not infinity (writing +inf
changes the save bytes); the save array is turn-bucketed, not flat;
EVENT_TECHS_UNLOCKED has no 'parent researched' clause.

56 entries added to ghidra/addresses.json (header regenerated); 11 prototypes,
13 labels, 12 comments and 2 structs written back to the Ghidra project.
