-- A sandboxed mod can read the outcome of a link battle -- who won, and the
-- lockstep party copies -- through the public event surface.
--
-- The copies are the point. Cable rules leave the real party untouched, so
-- a mode built on link battles (a tournament ladder, a battle royale) has no
-- other way to learn what the fight cost; by the time the state unwinds the
-- battle object is gone.
