Rules v0.8: Fatica on crossing, no Kumite in round 1, board draft 2

- Fatica costs a stripe for every Fatica walked onto; a route whose Fatica
  drops a Brown player below 15 no longer enters the Dojo
- No Kumite in the first round: opponents are treated like meditating pawns
- Board draft 2: two Fatica tolls per quadrant, Allenamento moved to the ring
- Casual bot, --summary-csv, per-seat breakdown and move-options metric
- Out of contention measured at 3 belts
- Plan: Phase 6 baselines, decisions D34-D43

 **I was moved without walking (Passo Falso, Irimi, Uke retreat). Does that start a Kumite
 or trigger the square I land on?**
-No to both. Only arriving through a Tunnel or Tunnel Segreto starts a Kumite on an occupied
-square, and even then the exit square has no effect.
+No to both (a Fatica costs a stripe only when you walk onto it). Only arriving through a
+Tunnel or Tunnel Segreto starts a Kumite on an occupied square, and even then the exit square
+has no effect.
 
 **I became Brown by winning a Kumite in the middle of my move. Can I enter the Dojo with
 the steps I have left?**
 Yes. Your belt changes immediately, so the Dojo opens for the rest of that move.
 
+**I am on 15 and my route into the Dojo crosses a Fatica. Can I take it?**
+No: the Fatica drops you to 14 before you reach the entrance, and the Dojo closes. Take a
+route without Fatica, or gain a stripe first.

 **My move would end on a pawn I cannot fight. What now?**
 Take one extra step (see [Meditazione](#meditazione)). If none is possible, stay.
