//! Does H1 do nothing, or does it do nothing **to a seat that already
//! manages its Stress**? (CB-WP-0039)
//!
//! [`CB-EV-0030`] measured ground-game's H1 with a panel that was
//! greedy-family throughout, and found DARVO never arms. But
//! `GreedyPolicy` ranks `Action::Ground if gated => 100`: the moment the
//! stress gate bites it grounds, Stress plateaus at 3, and the arm at 5
//! is unreachable **by construction**.
//!
//! H1 was written for the seat that does *not* do that. So this varies
//! **exactly one preference** — GROUND demoted below ATTACK — and holds
//! every other ranking identical to greedy's.
