◈ RECOMMENDATION ◈
Resonance Tap should be deployed at crystal array level, not signature detection level.
Cipher needs line-of-sight proximity to the crystal array to introduce effective interference.
Estimated required proximity: 8 meters or less.
Storage deployment during entry will not be sufficient.
Cipher needs to be present and active at the moment of entry.

Of course he built a backup.
He's been doing this for thirty years.
Adapt.

Orion read it twice.
The backup changed the approach.
Not fundamentally. The Sovereign Step zero-signature method still worked for the primary trigger. Crane would watch the detection layer, see no signature crossing the threshold, wait. The primary mechanism would not fire.
But the secondary trigger was manual. A direct mana pulse from Crane's hand to the control point relay to the crystal array. No detection layer required. He could fire it whenever he chose.
