Jesse.MarkowitzandClaude Opus 5 7ade60e21f v0.7.9.1 — the engine was right twice; the screen was not
Gitea#22: the Division map drew every westbound train in the wrong half of
its Mainline card. `regionOfTransit` counts from the end a train entered,
which is what the collision rules ask; the map wanted "which printed box,
left to right" and used the same number, so an eastbound train came out
right by luck and a westbound one came out mirrored. It cost a collision —
Train 3 was cleared to follow T5 and ran into TX17, which the picture had
drawn ahead of T5 rather than behind it. One mirror in `view.ts`, at the
boundary the map is drawn from; the collision rules are untouched.

Gitea#21: a second tank car would not come off at a refinery, and "Blocked
— why nothing is moving" answered by describing the refinery's green box.
The real answer was Train 3's printed rule — the Express works one freight
car per location — so the refusal was correct and the panel sent the player
to spend a Freight Agent action that could not have helped. No rule
changed. The panel now names the budget, asking the reducer's own
predicate so its words cannot drift from the rule.

Both were replayed from the saves attached to the issues and verified in
the exact position each report names. The map fix is proved by mutation:
reverting the mirror fails two tests, and making the renderer ignore the
region fails a third. Every existing region test ran eastbound, where the
mirror is the identity, which is why the bug survived them.

891 tests pass, up from 884.

Closes #21
Closes #22

* 'Blocked — why nothing is moving' and saw: refinery 1,0 — green box empty — nothing to load
* (needs a Freight Agent action)."
*
* Replayed from the attached save (seed 550943578, 181 intents): the crew was Train 3, and the
* engine's answer was `FREIGHT_WORKED_HERE`. Train 3 is the Express, and the Express prints "May
* drop or pick up one freight car at every location" — so THE REFUSAL WAS CORRECT and the rule
* is not what is wrong here. It resets next turn, and the Express may work a car at the next
* square this turn; that is what makes it an Express rather than a one-car-a-Stage train.
*
* What was wrong is that nothing said so. The panel whose entire job is "why is nothing moving?"
* listed the refinery's green box — a true statement about the FACILITY, and nothing to do with
* why the drop was refused — so the player was sent to fix a Freight Agent action that would not
* have helped. The rule was on the train card's own tooltip, which is not where somebody looks
* when a button they expected is missing.
*
