Compose the deferred Terror arrival and green the mixed E3 programmes

Queue a committed Terror entry whose arrival also opened its own
interaction — Guild income, a Bene Gesserit fighter Intrusion or advisor
choice, or Fremen storm protection — in the additive
Game.pendingArrivalReaction list, and open the oldest queued entry from
settleAutomaticContinuations once nothing is pending. Payment, force
transfer and the original movement never replay; a Terror entry already in
flight and every Ambassador combination still reject.

Both withdrawn mixed E3 programme pairs are green: Moritani 9/9 and Ecaz
14/14, stable across 20 consecutive full-file runs. Their recorded resume
constraints became real fixture repairs, and the two restored consumer
omissions were corrected against the engine rather than re-pinned.

Repair pre-existing failures inherited at 45e6084 against current engine
behavior: stale Discovery and module gates in the native skills, Ix and
expansion-faction prototypes, the advanced Moritani skill boundary, the
Richese Nexus betrayal sale-credit expectation, one incidental gate
message and one flaky Collection-readiness assertion that reproduced at
HEAD.

+## 7 October: the deferred Terror entry is a supported arrival
+
+The engine now commits a Terror arrival whose entry coincides with the
+arrival's own interaction. `openTerritoryEntry` queues the committed entry in
+the additive `Game.pendingArrivalReaction` list and
+`settleAutomaticContinuations` opens the oldest queued entry as soon as no
+response, decision, Terror entry, Ambassador entry or Ecaz/Moritani overlap is
+pending. Payment, force transfer and the original movement never replay.

+Consequently `quoteCompletedMovementArrival` no longer rejects a Terror
+arrival because a Guild income response, a Bene Gesserit fighter Intrusion or
+advisor choice, or Fremen storm protection is present; those windows settle
+first and the entry follows. The preflight still rejects a Terror entry already
+in flight (`controls.pendingTerror`) and every Ambassador combination
+(`Ambassadors combined with another arrival reaction`).
+
+The two former bot policies that avoided those combinations are updated, not

+defers the entry behind the pending Intrusion and then opens it after the

+## Deferred arrival entry behind the arrival's own interactions — 7 October 2026
+
+The engine no longer rejects a Terror arrival that coincides with the arrival's
+own pending interaction. `openTerritoryEntry` stores the already committed
+entry in the additive `Game.pendingArrivalReaction` record — original entrant,
+destination, sector, amount, elite, cause, resume kind and turn/phase — and
+`settleAutomaticContinuations` opens it as soon as no response, decision,
+Terror entry, Ambassador entry or Ecaz/Moritani overlap is pending. Payment,
+force transfer and the original movement are never replayed; the deferred
+record only reopens the entry.
+
+**Selected order (provisional implementation interpretation, not a publisher
+ruling):** the arrival's own interaction settles first — the committed
+shipment's Guild income payment and BG advisor choice, the BG fighter
+Intrusion, or Fremen storm protection — and the Terror entry is offered
+afterwards. This reuses the bounded policy already recorded for an accompanying
+counter, whose own qualifying entry likewise follows earlier Intrusion and
+income, and it respects the November 2020 FAQ wording that Intrusion must occur
+immediately when the other faction intrudes. No source ranks the optional
+Terror reaction against those windows; this table selects one order rather than
+leaving the entry uncommitted.
+
+Still guarded after this integration: `controls.pendingTerror` (a Terror entry
+already in flight), every Ambassador combination
+(`Ambassadors combined with another arrival reaction`), Atomics, unsupported
+child effects and the CHOAM prevention windows.
