A (policy.ts): the blind farmer screens a down-south visiting ram before hiring him.
B (genetics/breeds.ts): new RARE_ALLELE_SCALE 1 -> 2 on all breed fantasy freqs (steel 0.03->0.06, paua 0.015->0.03, GW/CL/SO 0.02->0.04); old values in the comment.
npm test: only the 2 known failures; typecheck not run. 1-seed blind30a run printed the stats block (seed 1: rare fleece season 28, no ending); range restored. Game-value tuning: do not auto-merge.

Queued from the dashboard (item 358). The request:

Goal (proposal 8, step 6): the 30-seed blind sim after the farmer-goals fix still misses: rare fleece by season 27 in 2 of 30 seeds (target 15), chapter 3 median season 16 to 17 (target about 11), ending 10 of 30. Do the two changes docs/BACKLOG.md already plans for a miss, as two separate commits in one PR:

1. Commit A (sim only): in packages/game/scripts/policy.ts make the farmer screen a visiting ram BEFORE hiring him (the screen works before the hire; docs/BACKLOG.md says the sim never does this; see rareScreens). Use only what a real player knows.
2. Commit B (game value): raise the rare allele frequencies x2 in the sources of rare alleles (market, visitors, founder pool; find them from noteRareWools and the rare loci in core/config.ts). Change one named constant or table, not scattered numbers. Add a comment with the old values.
   Read docs/BACKLOG.md lines 24 to 37 first: it lists what 11 earlier lever sets did (x2 with 2 screens gave 14 of 30 by 27 at the old chapter timing). Do not make steel more common than about 6 percent.

Done when: npm test passes (known failures: ui.test.ts:64 and a v3 timing flake, not yours); a temporary 1-seed run through the blind30a test (then restore its range) prints the stats block. Do NOT run the full 15-seed range: I run the long runs after review. State in RESULT the old and new values.

Do not touch: save format, world3d/, the chapter ladder code in core/acts.ts, workflows, dependency files, AGENTS.md/CLAUDE.md. This is game-va

Opened by the queue runner on LXC 113. The runner squash-merges this once CI checks pass.
