+// 1.86.0 (2026-09-17): THE CABLE REACHES EVERY SLAVE, AND A SPOT STAYS
+//   ON ITS OWN SIDE OF THE WALL (eJANPpm7qCaCAJBJw).
+//   THE RULES QUESTION FIRST, because the report asked for one: a device
+//   slaved to a host is NOT moved inside it. p.233's entire
+//   slave-defence rule ("whenever a slaved device is called on to make a
+//   defense test, it uses either its own or its master's rating") exists
+//   precisely because you can come at a slave from outside, and the same
+//   paragraph carves out the exception that proves it -- "if a slaved
+//   device is under attack via a direct connection ... it cannot use its
+//   master's ratings to defend itself". Data Trails p.87-88 runs the
+//   whole worked example on a DOOR slaved to a host. Being inside the
+//   host is not the only road; it is the road that costs no cable
+//   ("if you are in a host that has a WAN, you are considered directly
+//   connected to all devices in the WAN").
+//   SO THE GAP WAS THE CABLE. `tap` could reach a camera lens and
+//   nothing else, which left every maglock, keypad and safe -- the
+//   security furniture p.217 names first -- reachable only by cracking
+//   the host first. Exactly backwards from the book's own example.
+//   `tap <device>` is the direct connection now: it rolls the device's
+//   OWN Device Rating + Firewall (the identical pool `hack` faces from
+//   inside the host, because both ARE direct connections), the mark it
+//   buys lands on the master too (p.233), and GOD bills the defender's
+//   hits (p.231-232). It reaches an icon that has never been spotted --
+//   your hand is on the housing, you are not searching for it -- and one
+//   whose WIRELESS IS OFF, because p.421's "Turning It Off" says only
+//   that such a device "can no longer be WIRELESSLY hacked" and a
+//   filament is not wireless. That is what keeps a dark site a thing you
+//   walk into rather than a dead end.
+//   AND THE LEAK: `enter host, glance, exit` lit up every silent icon on
+//   the street. One `spottedBy` set served both vantages, and they are
+//   not the same test -- inside the host a slave hides behind its BARE
+//   rating (one die for a p.356 camera, p.233), outside it borrows the
+//   host's Rating and Sleaze (nine on an HR 3 site). A one-die win was
+//   satisfying a nine-die gate. p.246 is the rule: "the virtual space
+//   inside a host is separate from the outside grid." Device.
+//   spottedInsideBy and Room.camerasSpottedInsideBy keep the sides
+//   apart, one way only -- an OUTSIDE spot still counts inside, because
+//   it beat the harder test.
+//   The other half of that report was that the inside win was invisible:
+//   hostInteriorIcons listed personas, files and ice and never the WAN,
+//   so a device found in there first appeared when you left. It is
+//   listed inside now, where p.233 puts it.
