    "mechanics": "Defeat Head Goon with three ball hits, then reach the right exit alive. One physical ball can rebound and be recovered. His raised tray guards every side; only tray_down allows damage. Each patrol lasts 27 to 81 updates and commits one, two or three separately telegraphed hops before the tray-down opening, independently of health. The current countdown and hops_left report that commitment. The tray-down opening lasts 72 updates. Forecasts crossing a future unobserved patrol assume 54 patrol updates and two hops; those future draws are unknown. A windup locks its landing marker; the hop never retargets in flight. Contact with the living boss hurts during tray_down and flinch too. Defeat is harmless. Kittie's existing damage protection still applies. You can run beneath him when his feet clear your body. Flat arena; shutters at x160 and x320. Defeat opens the right shutter. World x points right, y down; player y is feet. Fresh A jumps on ground or in coyote time; hold for the full arc, release to shorten or rearm. Fresh B throws forward; Up+B lobs higher. Held A or B creates no new press. Prior controls continue during API delay. Structured RAM-assisted observations include current source phase and timing. Derived forecasts approximate source mechanics, not observed future events. Holding A starts a jump only when A was previously released and jumping is available. Continuing to hold A does not trigger another jump.",
