+# Instability controls and diagnostics (Milestone 6, issue #72)
+
+The world-specific NeoForge server config (`serverconfig/rivencraft-server.toml`) is the global policy. `instability.enabled` stops all scheduled effects without changing a saved Age. `instability_providers.<id>` switches each Legacy card independently; these switches do not reroll frozen provider levels. The existing `instability_status_effects`, `instability_decay`, `instability_hazards`, `instability_meteor`, `instability_scorching`, and `instability_erosion` groups provide category policy and action limits. `instability.world_mutation`, hazard/meteor `block_damage`, `player_damage`, and `fire` settings control destructive behavior. `mobGriefing` and `doFireTick` still apply. Defaults retain the Legacy-active hazards; the scheduler, spawn protection, loaded-chunk checks, and per-effect caps remain Rivencraft safety adaptations. The dormant-in-Legacy erosion effect remains enabled for project testing but can be switched off.
+
+Configuration values are read during server operation, but editing the TOML on disk does not guarantee NeoForge will reload it. Restart the server or world after changing the file; `/reload` reloads data packs, not this server config. Per-Age commands below take effect on the next scheduler pass without a restart. A stopped provider does not refund or change the Age's score or saved plan. Existing owned status-effect leases are revoked on their next 20-tick check after global, category, provider, or Age disablement. In-flight meteors are cancelled when their Age or meteor provider is disabled. Existing block changes are not rolled back.
+
+Operators can inspect `/rivencraft age instability [dimension]`. The argument accepts an Age name (quote names containing spaces), a short path such as `fort`, or a full ID such as `rivencraft:age/fort`. Duplicate names require the full ID shown by `/rivencraft age list`. The command reports the frozen score and each saved contribution, the frozen provider IDs/levels and their *current* runtime eligibility, config limits, and whether this Age is enabled. "Eligible" does not promise an effect on the next tick: chance, cooldowns, loaded chunks, player presence, and protection still apply. An unavailable handler is reported as such instead of being mistaken for an active provider. Pre-scoring Ages remain neutral, and missing provider plans from older scored saves are migrated once as described in [runtime policy](INSTABILITY_RUNTIME.md). `/rivencraft age instability disable <dimension>` and `enable <dimension>` are operator-only and persist for that Age alone. Unknown dimensions are rejected. Neither command mutates a book, score, or provider plan.
+
+Newly bound Descriptive Books carry only a server-written numerical potential-instability summary for their tooltip and cover. The details and live enablement stay server-side in the operator command. Older written books receive the summary when opened through the server-approved book screen; until then, an absent tooltip score means "not yet synchronized," not zero. The score does not indicate whether effects are currently enabled.
+
+Manual check: create two scored Ages, disable one with the command, and inspect both. Only the selected Age should show "Age disabled"; its saved breakdown and plan should remain identical. Re-enable it, then switch an individual provider in the world config and restart. Its plan should remain identical while diagnostics show "provider config off." An old neutral Age should report score zero and no selected providers. A non-operator should be unable to invoke the mutation commands. Test tooltips both on a newly bound book and an older book after opening it once.

 # Lightning and explosions (#69)
 
 The `lightning` and `explosions` cards now run only in loaded Rivencraft Ages with players. Legacy rolled once per chunk per tick: explosions at 1/1000 and lightning at 1/5000 during thunder or 1/100000 otherwise. Each selected hazard card gets an independent roll every scheduler pass, rather than waiting for the rotating two-provider sample. The roll uses up to 81 already-loaded chunks near Age players and the exact probability of at least one Legacy opportunity over that many chunk-ticks. It permits at most one event per hazard type per pass. A per-Age saved sequence and last-event time prevent the same roll/event from replaying after a restart. Lightning also skips an existing bolt at the target.

 Every newly created Age now gets a version-1 `Instability` compound inside its server-owned `rivencraft_ages` saved definition. It contains the total `Score` and an ordered `Breakdown` of reason, original page index (zero-based, or -1 for an Age-wide cause), points, and explanation. `AgeRegistrySavedData.instability(UUID)` is the read-only server query.

By project balance decision, Bastions, Trial Chambers, Ancient Cities, Shipwrecks, Ocean Ruins, Pillager Outposts, Ruined Portals, Nether Fossils, Buried Treasure, and Trail Ruins follow that same rule. The first three occurrences and all other audited Legacy feature symbols have no direct page cost. An authored structure may override its vanilla biome eligibility; every structure-page occurrence adds +100 if **any** selected biome is unsupported, even when another selected biome is compatible. Seed completion still prefers compatible biomes and therefore avoids that cost when it can. Other modern-only features remain neutral. The frozen score selects a deterministic, persisted provider plan through the Milestone 6 runtime. Registered handlers apply that plan only inside loaded Rivencraft Ages and remain subject to the documented scheduler and effect-specific safety bounds.
 
-The score is calculated after the Age plan and effective traits are chosen, then saved with the Age identity before its dimension is generated. The same UUID returns the existing definition, including the same score, on repeated use. Spawn updates preserve it. Reload only deserializes the frozen breakdown; it never reruns the current grammar or catalog. An older Age definition without `Instability` is migrated to a persisted version-1 neutral score of zero, rather than retroactively scoring its writing. A future scoring-rule change must introduce an explicit new schema/migration policy, not silently reinterpret existing Ages. Issue #66 additionally freezes a provider selection from this score; see [runtime policy](INSTABILITY_RUNTIME.md).

It reports immutable base score, stability bonus, runtime penalty, and effective score. The pinned Legacy tree defines player-death and player-presence bonus classes but does not register them as default providers, so Rivencraft leaves player-driven modifiers disabled: bonus and penalty are zero and effective equals base. There is therefore no mutable bonus save to migrate in this release. No death, PvP event, player identity, or dimension transition can transfer stability between Ages. Any future opt-in mechanic must persist separately from `Instability`, define caps and reset behavior, and must not rewrite the generation plan or frozen provider plan.

+The complete Legacy `instabilityModifier` audit found direct feature-page costs only for Mineshafts, Nether Fortresses, Strongholds, and Villages. Their first three occurrences cost zero; the fourth and every later occurrence adds 100. Every other Legacy feature class inherited `SymbolBase`'s zero modifier. Rivencraft applies that exact rule to the four matching pages. By project balance decision, Bastions, Trial Chambers, Ancient Cities, Shipwrecks, Ocean Ruins, Pillager Outposts, Ruined Portals, Nether Fossils, Buried Treasure, and Trail Ruins use the same repeat rule. Matching Legacy features such as Caves, Crystal Formations, Dense Ores, Dungeons, Floating Islands, Huge Trees, Deep/Surface Lakes, Obelisks, Ravines, Skylands, Spheres, Spikes, Star Fissures, and Tendrils have no direct page cost. Legacy could still derive instability later from excess profiled blocks, especially ores, but that separate 400-chunk profiling system is intentionally not ported. Other modern-only Rivencraft features remain neutral.

+Bright Lighting adds 500 for every authored occurrence. A generated Bright Lighting controller also adds 500. This is independent of the 500-point extra-controller cost, so two authored Bright Lighting pages produce 1,500 total: 500 for each symbol and 500 for the repeated controller.

+Legacy includes `PlayerKilledBonus` and `PlayerTrollPenalty` classes, but the pinned source contains no default provider registration for either. Rivencraft does not activate death, PvP, player-presence, or cross-dimension credit from dormant classes. Consequently #71 has no mutable per-Age bonus state to migrate, cap, reset, or persist: the stability bonus and runtime penalty are both zero, and the effective score equals the frozen base score. `/rivencraft age instability [dimension]` reports those four values and the disabled policy explicitly. This prevents unrelated players, deaths in other dimensions, and repeated deaths from changing an Age. A future opt-in policy must use separate versioned saved data and define its cap/reset rules before it can alter runtime selection.
 
 Automated #65 checks cover classification, preserved input slots on rejection, and an accepted unstable preview. The live output/one-time Age creation check is assigned to in-game testing because the GameTest storage phase stalled when that transaction ran; the test world is not retained.

Terrain, controller, weather, season, lighting, sky, and celestial are single-choice categories; identical repeats are duplicates and differing values conflict. Repeated modifiers, biome pages, feature pages, and material pages are intentional and retain their order. An unpaired material page receives a seeded compatible feature during compilation. Angle modifiers remain recognized in the schema but are rejected at binding until a sky renderer can apply sun tilt.
 
-Missing terrain, controller, weather, lighting, celestial, or the controller's minimum biome count is an **incomplete** warning, not an error: the compiler retains seed-selected traits for missing branches. An omitted terrain page uses a seed-selected profile compatible with authored feature pages, so changing the Age name cannot accidentally select Flat, Void, or Cave terrain for Rocks or Lakes. If no profile can support the writing, binding still rejects it. Native consumes no authored biome pages; Single consumes one; Tiled/Grid and Tiny–Huge require two, with seeded filler when pages are missing. From 0.5.1.0, known misplaced or repeated pages no longer block creation: the book keeps its original order, while the server repairs category order, uses the last single-choice controller, and stores a writing-instability score in the Age plan. A conflicting/repeated choice adds 500; an out-of-order page or misplaced modifier adds 100. Native ignores surplus authored biome pages and Single uses the first, with the conflict recorded as instability. These are Rivencraft's provisional penalties, not a claim of exact Legacy values for every symbol. Incorrectly placed pages are **not** red-highlighted; their warning remains available as a tooltip. Unknown IDs, schema-v1 display-only symbols, unavailable dependencies/profiles, unsupported semantic effects or feature/material pairs, missing/extra Link Panels, and oversized writing still reject a new Age. The Binder disables output for those fatal errors and shows a red page indication where applicable. Rejected inputs remain removable.

A conflicting/repeated choice adds 500; an out-of-order page or misplaced modifier adds 100. Native ignores surplus authored biome pages and Single uses the first, with the conflict recorded as instability. Audited Legacy symbol modifiers also add 500 for each Bright Lighting page and 100 for each Mineshafts, Nether Fortresses, Strongholds, or Villages occurrence after the third. Modern structures configured with the same rule are Bastions, Trial Chambers, Ancient Cities, Shipwrecks, Ocean Ruins, Pillager Outposts, Ruined Portals, Nether Fossils, Buried Treasure, and Trail Ruins. Every repeated structure page increases that structure's placement rate: probability-based structures multiply their chance, grid-based structures use a denser grid, and Strongholds add more positions to each ring and more positions overall. One page retains the vanilla placement rate. Authored structures can generate outside their vanilla biome set; each structure-page occurrence that requires this override adds 100 instability. Seed completion selects compatible biomes where possible. Other feature pages have no direct symbol cost. Incorrectly placed pages are **not** red-highlighted; their warning remains available as a tooltip. Unknown IDs, schema-v1 display-only symbols, unavailable dependencies/profiles, unsupported semantic effects or feature/material pairs, missing/extra Link Panels, and oversized writing still reject a new Age. The Binder disables output for those fatal errors and shows a red page indication where applicable. Rejected inputs remain removable.
 
-The plan stores the original writing order, the authoritative semantic value of each resolved symbol, the active repaired-page indexes, the writing-instability score, the Age seed, and a copy of the selected runtime profile. An explicit terrain page overrides random terrain selection; an omitted terrain uses a seed-selected compatible profile. The built-in Standard, Amplified, Cave, Island, Flat, and Void terrain pages select their matching generation resources. Age loading uses the frozen runtime profile and does not need the original symbol definition or runtime-profile JSON, though its referenced noise, biome-preset, and dimension-type registry entries must remain available. Existing bound books without plans are not reinterpreted. Page-free and Link-Panel-only books keep the pre-existing random path. Biome and environment pages affect new Ages, and the supported feature subset below is compiled into the same frozen plan. Runtime effects for a nonzero writing-instability score are not implemented yet.
