// ── The feed's sentences ──────────────────────────────────────────────────
//
// `lib/feed.js` is the one part of the client half with real branching in it, and
// it is pure on purpose so that a DOM-less runner can ask all of it. Everything
// here is a claim about what a reader sees for a given frame — which is exactly
// the kind of thing that rots silently, because a wrong killfeed line is still a
// killfeed line.
//
// The fixtures are the frames the bridge plugin actually emits (its
// `DescribeAttacker`, and PROTOCOL.md §8.4), not invented shapes.
