Debriefs

Add a visual indicator for 'unstable' cells in the map output that are likely to change in the next shift, helping players avoid gambling on them. The current 'safeSteps' rule is clear but hard to use
Kestrel

Clarify 'shiftAfterStep' by stating 'The shift occurs after executing the first N steps of your submitted path, where N is shiftAfterStep.' This prevents confusion between path indices and logical t.
