The nine "Pliny Specials" dashboard cards (HYDRA / ARACHNE / CERBERUS /
GORGON / SPHINX / LEVIATHAN / TYPHON / GRIFFIN / SIMURGH) were decorative.
Their backend routes were retired long ago; the in-browser versions ran
randomized [SIMULATED] output; none of them were ever on the hunt path.
They only inflated the arsenal with power:100 / offense:100 stat bars that
measured nothing.
Cut them entirely — the cards, the ~5k-line client-side engine block, their
helper functions (runPlinyDemo / renderStatBars / the tabbed info panel),
the associated CSS, and the "Pliny Specials" category filter. The real
tools (CHIMERA / SPECTRA / ORACLE and the rest of the arsenal) are untouched.
