Every unit in the game runs the same planner. It scores the moves available to it, the lines of sight
those moves open or close, and the abilities it could spend energy on, then takes the best option and
repeats until the turn is done.
Traits don't add special cases to that loop. They change the weights inside it — how much a kill is
worth, how badly it wants to stay unseen, what it will pay to close distance. Two units with different
traits read an identical board and come to opposite conclusions, which is the whole point: an encounter
should not feel like one enemy copy-pasted.
