   "%" sign is prohibited. All parameters are calculated in [pts] only. It is forbidden to mention entities outside of the HUD (the words "health", "seconds", "temperature" under the ban). Only allowed: [ 🫁 Breath Concentration], [ 🩸 Blood Loss / Mutilation], [ 🚨 Tactical Threat].

3. FAKE GAME OVER BAN AND PHASE SKIPS:AI
