+ * one over the Sim Den, with one file and one piece of ice between

+ * room. Hosts with a purpose are a RUN's business (scene-chunks.ts
+ * validateSkeleton requires every generated host to declare one and
+ * hold something).
+ *
+ * Applied here, at the seed, rather than by editing scene2.json alone:
+ * every save EMBEDS its hub seed, so a returning runner's Purple Haze
+ * would otherwise keep the hosts the shipped file dropped. Same choke
+ * point, same contract as the puzzle migration -- pure, idempotent, and

+ * things that only exist on a host -- matrix-plane NPCs (ice) and
+ * matrix-plane items (files). A file with no host to sit in is
+ * unreachable by design (utilities/planes.ts fileReach), and ice
+ * stationed in a room with no node has nothing to be inside; leaving
+ * either behind would be a quieter version of the same defect.
