A three-tier fix was designed and deployed within hours:Cognitive-Layer Boundary — NPCs now refuse inappropriate requests in character, as a respectable person of 1936 naturally would.

One change in the wrong place could break something three characters away.The new architecture splits it into 21 focused modules. Scoring, evidence detection, banned-word filtering, phase transitions — each lives in its own file, with its own tests. The new engine passes 87 behavior...

But on my own machine, everything worked perfectly.After a lot of digging, I found the culprit — one line of code: ticketObj.cancel()Steam needs a ticket to verify your identity.
