Help: Quiet Combat and Combat Summaries
Quiet combat is the family of output helpers used by reader and
compactcombat.
Screen Reader
Screen-reader mode favors stable event lines and summaries. Multi-hit
skills and gun rounds may count landed hits, misses, and total damage
instead of printing every repeated strike.
Compact Combat
Compact combat suppresses many ordinary per-swing lines and prints a
cleaner end-of-round summary. It does not replace screen-reader mode;
if reader mode is on, reader behavior takes priority.
Guns
Gunfire has its own round summary because gun code knows shot counts,
misses, and damage. This keeps burst fire and dual-gun rounds readable.
Mechanics
Quiet combat changes text, not mechanics. Damage, misses, procs,
critical hits, death blows, and resource costs still happen normally.
