"_comment": "EXPLORATION — the player's reach. Tether tech is the BLUEPRINT only (effects: {}) — the player installs it as a build on a world (data/builds.json, the build carries the effect): Tether Level 2 → a TETHER - LEVEL 2 build on a world holding a level-1 tether (→ tether-l2), Tether Level 3 → a TETHER - LEVEL 3 build on a world holding a level-2 tether (→ tether-l3). Radius = 5,120 × 2^(level−1) (data/tether.json). Node contract: `requires` = parents that must be RESEARCHED first (the DAG edges — authoritative); `unlocks` = what completing the tech opens: `builds` (ids in data/builds.json the tech makes available — the build's own `requires` is the authoritative gate, this list is the declaration, and the test keeps the two in lock-step) and `research` (a readable mirror of the children's `requires` edges); `effects` = what the scene applies on completion. `starting` = already researched on a fresh run, so its children are available the first time the console opens. duration is in research.timeUnit (seconds); 0 = granted, never researched.",
