Field notes

The interface separates single-hit playback, batch simulation, reverse hit finding, and a distance map into distinct panels. Batch settings include a seed and Gaussian or uniform draws; the map can load a selected cell as a hit. A physics section and browser-based validation checks are also listed, though the extracted text does not show their results.
