The whiff darkens to slate and sweeps longer; the portal-cell opens
a dark void behind its collapsing rings — an opening in space, not a
selected square; the tacks grow half again and recoil harder; the
streak's reveal slows so the travel reads even in a sampled frame;
dust lifts its contrast a step without turning heavy. The sector
ghosts stay board-machinery on purpose — the reviewer allowed it,
and the maze grinding IS an operation, not a spell.
