Issue #16 Verification

Status: ✅ ALREADY IMPLEMENTED ON MAIN

Issue #16 asked for the Paperclips-style dismantle endgame: The Unbuilding. That implementation is already present on main in a fresh clone of the-beacon.

Mainline evidence

Repo artifacts already present on main:

js/dismantle.js
tests/dismantle.test.cjs
supporting integration points in js/engine.js, js/render.js, and js/data.js

What the current implementation already covers:

an explicit Unbuilding offer path (Dismantle.offerChoice() / renderChoice())
staged panel removal over time
stage-five resource-card dissolution sequence
final beacon-only moment with the line: That is enough.
save/load persistence for active dismantle progress
defer / cooldown handling so the sequence can be postponed and later resumed
render-loop protection so alignment UI does not wipe the Unbuilding prompt

Verification run from fresh clone

Commands executed:

node --test tests/dismantle.test.cjs

Observed result:

the full dismantle regression suite passes on fresh main
verified behaviors include:
- offering The Unbuilding instead of ending immediately
- preserving the prompt across renderAlignment()
- suppressing pending drift UI during active dismantle
- completing the stage-five resource dissolve sequence
- save/load restoration of partial progress
- defer cooldown persistence across reload

Historical trail

The issue accumulated many closed unmerged attempts while the implementation was hardened across repeated passes. Representative prior PR trail:

PR #116
PR #118
PR #120
PR #121
PR #123
PR #124
PR #135
PR #138
PR #139
PR #145

Those PRs show the long hardening history, but the important truth today is simpler: the dismantle sequence is already implemented on main and the tests pass.

Why this should close the issue

Issue #16 is an atomic implementation issue, not a broad parent epic. The requested feature exists on main, passes targeted verification, and does not need to be re-implemented again.

Recommendation

Close issue #16 as already implemented on main. This verification PR exists only to preserve a clean evidence trail and stop further duplicate implementation attempts.
