+- **Buried bot rescue (t72, 2026-10-29).** The owner chose a small nearest-first nudge,
+  then the newest still-open visited position with a message, then flight through rock until
+  open space with a message. This prevents cooling magma from trapping the bot. The nudge
+  requires fully explored space and prefers up on equal distances. A 256-point trail records
+  every four grains without per-tick allocations; loading rebuilds it from the bot position.
+  Searches happen only on burial, capped at 440 nudge and 256 trail probes per escape episode.
