# Ending: the game's single true ending ("*** The End ***"). Cold Iron is a
# two-protagonist tale. A farmer who "knows about piskeys" hunts his missing
# axe through the forest, guided by Reverd Pearson's book of fairy tales:
# a found glass bead is traded to a vanishing stranger for a knife, the
# knife's shadow on the oak stump points the way, and a holly bush on a
# small hill yields branches - and a rusty old axe head. The instant the
# farmer grips the cold iron, the story pivots: you are now a modern-day
# clergyman in the woods behind the Old College, holding a corroded
# artifact. Twilight gloom blocks the path home until you do exactly what
# the tale prescribed - weave the holly branches into a wreath, wash it in
# the stream at Dim Copse, and wear it - after which you pass unseen
# through the shadows to Chapel Green. In the chapel the Reverend muses
# about publishing his fancies as a book of fairy tales ("If it helps
# banish the fears of a lonely old Reverend, then all the better."),
# closing the loop with the story book from the opening scene.
#
# The game is scoreless, so this walkthrough carries a WIN_TEXT directive
# matching the final chapel musing together with the "*** The End ***"
# banner, both printed by the last command's output.
#
# Deterministic, no RNG on route: the game has no combat, no timers, and no
# random hazards; every seed 1..8 replays identically to the same ending
# (spot-checked during verification). The pinned seed is only the harness's
# standard reproducibility guarantee.
#
# Quirk: taking the axe head triggers a "(Hit any key...)" keypress prompt
# at the protagonist switch; the lone "z" below flushes it (the keystroke is
# consumed by the prompt, not executed as a WAIT).
