/maru — Kobayashi Maru Reframe Engine

A constraint-rewriting skill. Given a target framed as no-win, returns the rule change that produces the desired result. Composed from the HAVIS DAG; routes through Greg for architect adjudication at prod_sensitive policy tier.

One-line: Don't solve the no-win — reprogram the simulator.
