Advance standalone admission, finite artillery and native validation

 The current base supplies prison spawning, two independent scavenging/clue routes, finite medical and outpost stock, an optional ground vehicle, physical radio documents, named discovery markers, native objectives, a separate radio-defence service, capacity-checked helicopter extraction, identity-based partial results, early helicopter-loss defeat, saved mission time/speed, defeat/restart, identity-based lives and local spectator following. Authored site definitions and an injected vanilla faction/asset catalog own the initial physical population. Core provides administration and startup diagnostics; the optional AI, Intel, Chat and Map addons extend its interfaces. HQ coordinates enemy responses through physical radios and available forces.

Ordinary-game startup and ground-to-helicopter casualty loading have retained native failures; manual gameplay, real multiplayer, complete physical HQ support, measured FPS improvement and release qualification remain unfinished.

+See [current development status](docs/current-status.md) for verified checkpoints and the prioritized remaining work. Ordinary Core and companion startup now admit a real local prisoner cleanly; focused casualty-loading and physical mortar tests also pass. A later companion restart retains support-station cleanup errors. Manual gameplay, real multiplayer, complete HQ support, measured FPS improvement and release qualification remain unfinished.

 For bounded hidden, muted local native tests, see [runtime testing](docs/runtime-testing.md). Recorded Workbench checkpoints include Core-only and companion-loaded escape/restart, finite stock and document-loss recovery, twelve physical prisoner/seat fixtures, real medical treatment, local result/objective widgets, patrol movement and HQ preemption/resumption. Clean environment/restart evidence exists after narrowing the vanilla vehicle catalogs; it does not qualify subsequent source changes.
 
-These scripted local fixtures manipulate positions and selected native states. They do not establish ordinary-game startup, manual escape/piloting, real remote reconnects, twelve connected players or improved FPS. [Current status](docs/current-status.md) separates those gaps from demonstrated development behavior. [Validation evidence](docs/validation.md) preserves exact source checkpoints and failed iterations; `docs/acceptance.json` keeps unverified release requirements pending.
