Granary satiation: hunger scars motivate storage only until town
capacity could carry a winter (pop x 45); sprawl of ~10 granaries falls
to the sated level. Quarry return: packs stuck with undroppable stone
after rebuilds made starving porters; unneeded stone goes back to the
quarry (matter conserved, packs unclogged).
Also corrects the record: run 10's zero-ruin year-2 claim came from
CSV contamination by orphaned headless child processes (console wrapper
kills didn't kill the tree). Clean verified result now: year-1
catastrophe and rebuild, then year-2 at 0.77 nourishment, zero new
ruins, 100% condition, textbook granary sawtooth.
Open in FINDINGS: accessible stone exhaustion plateaus housing below
population - a Phase 3 economy question (deeper quarrying, stockpiles).
