Subject: [PATCH] Sweep remaining corpus for material Heard dark-mass only.
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

First land fixed the binding pages; leftovers still said noise field +
mass for material. Align cursor AC4/notes, presence, flat-materials,
ROADMAP #38, bevy pacing, and env ears harness with the decided rule.

Defense: wiki/interface/material-dark-frame.md + wiki/mechanics/cursor.md
— material Heard is dark mass only; rings stay flat-sensorium.
