The long-standing smoke flake -- failing now and then, always first in a
pre-push hook whose logs were discarded -- finally failed with its logs
kept. bot1, whose account picks the Proving Grounds, had gone into the
Choir Vault, so "the proving grounds opened" never matched.
The bot wandered a full-speed Lissajous for 90 of every 120 ticks in the
hub, then walked toward its entrance for 30 holding interact the entire
way. The three entrances sit in a row, so a wander that happened to end
near the middle one sent the bot bound for the right-hand portal across
the Choir Vault's ring with the key down, and in it went. Where the
wander stopped depended on network timing, which is why it was
intermittent and why it never reproduced on demand.
The bot now walks straight to its own entrance and presses interact only
while standing on that one. Six consecutive smoke runs pass.
