What happened

Single-legal 'Tap no cards for Whir of Invention' prompts recur across many unrelated windows and dominate g03's 350-decision cap.

What should have happened

The bridge should collapse or auto-resolve no-op/single-legal improvise prompts, expose a meaningful payment choice only when tapping artifacts changes the cast, and avoid charging repeated no-op prompts against the strategic decision budget.

Verified in Cassandra 0.5.30.

Release proof: source bebd4c7 (Prepare Cassandra 0.5.30 feedback backlog closeout), Jenkins Veles #209 SUCCESS published version-only backend/frontend/sim-worker 0.5.30 images, Titan-IAC 1bf84977 deployed them, live /api/v1/app-config reports backend/frontend/sim_worker 0.5.30, /api/v1/ready is green, backend pod and both frontend pods are Running with 0 restarts, and VELES_SIM_IMAGE is registry.bstein.dev/veles/veles-sim-worker:0.5.30.

Local/source gate on the deployed source: bridge/runtime 42 tests OK; evaluator/audit/policy/API suite 504 tests OK; frontend maybeboard/compact-replay/prompt Playwright 22 tests passed; frontend build and git diff --check passed.

Issue-specific proof: Forge runtime coverage proves no-op Whir of Invention improvise/convoke prompts collapse instead of repeatedly burning the decision cap. Jenkins #209 built and pushed the 0.5.30 sim image from the same bridge source. Closing.
