Re-aggregate wiki + repackage for the split

Browse Source 
sync-wiki.sh mirrors policing + corrections instead of justice; the aggregate Wiki index and the
per-layer folders reflect the six-layer suite (Core - Contraband - Policing - Corrections - Gangs -
Ward) and the reserved Judiciary seam. Assemblies re-vendored with the fresh module DLLs.

That one sentence is the whole suite. Colonists, prisoners, and slaves drift toward crime on a
continuous spectrum; a policing-and-justice machine discovers, catches, weighs, punishes, reforms,
continuous spectrum; a policing-and-corrections machine discovers, catches, weighs, punishes, reforms,
treats, and releases them — and catching one pawn changes the disposition of the rest.

The suite is a closed loop, and each turn of it lives in a different layer — mirroring the real

culprit is named.

is reserved to sit here, between arrest and imprisonment; today the arrest imprisons directly.)*
5. **Contraband** *(Contraband)* — once held, a pawn conceals and improvises: shivs, brews, tunnels
under the perimeter, all countered by warden search — and a bent warden who smuggles for them.
6. **Gangs** *(Gangs)* — held pawns organise into contraband economies: joining by disposition,
smuggling networks, rivalry, fights that book as crimes.
7. **Corrections** *(Justice · Rehabilitation)* — a warden **rehabilitates** a prisoner: counselling
sessions move a **reform** score and raise the colony's climate of **order** (classification
re-grades as reform rises), that order feeds back into everyone's disposition, and a **parole**
alert releases the genuinely reformed back into the colony. Neglect a flagged prisoner and they harden.

8. **Treatment** *(Ward)* — the other door: a prisoner committed for **psychiatric care** rather than
punished. Counselling reduces the disorder that broke them and builds a recovery track toward
discharge; neglect a committed patient and they deteriorate.

**Policing** and **Corrections** are separate layers — the enforcement half and the prison half of the
former *Justice* module, split along the separation of powers. Policing has its own toggle because
colony crime is a large behavioural change: a player can run the prison (Corrections) without their own
colonists committing crimes. Corrections depends on Policing for the shared climate of order.

The suite runs on a small **Core** that owns exactly what every layer must agree on — *is this pawn
dangerous?*, *what have they actually done?*, *what hold are they under?* — plus two shared services:
the **treatment engine** (Ward's psychiatric care and Justice's rehabilitation point the same loop at
different states) and the **deterrence seam** (a neutral hook Justice fills so the order-climate
feedback runs *through* Core without Core ever depending on Justice).

layer will slot in through the same style of Core seam — a *sentence* on the criminal record that
Policing writes a default of today and a court would fill tomorrow.
Everything else builds up from there: Contraband and Justice on Core; Gangs on Core + Contraband +
Justice; Ward on Core. Cross-layer integrations that aren't hard dependencies stay soft — a feature
lights up if its sibling is present and the loop still closes without it. That is what keeps the
suite genuinely modular: this aggregate is a convenience, not a merge.
