+matrix/foundation — Enter a Host's Foundation (*not yet implemented*)

Planned feature. Not currently available in-game.

Design reference: SR5 Data Trails, p. 68-76

When implemented, this will let deckers and technomancers dive into the
Foundation of a Host — the underlying paradigm-layer construct that
shapes the Host's personality and rules. Foundation runs are a completely
different resolution system than standard cybercombat: narrative,
paradigm-locked, scene-based challenges with biofeedback-only damage.

SR5 ruleset summary (Data Trails p. 68-76):
  Access        Requires at least 1 mark on the Host. Entry is its own
                action with an opposed test against the Host.
  Paradigm      The Foundation has a theme (archive, factory, city, etc.)
                that affects scene narration and challenge type.
  Challenges    Task-based rather than combat-based. Skill checks against
                thresholds tied to the Host Rating and Paradigm.
  Damage        All biofeedback. Biofeedback in the Foundation is Physical
                regardless of sim mode.
  Reward        Host-specific — data, control of the Host, scripting
                automated IC, rewriting the paradigm itself, etc.

Status: Foundation is a major feature requiring its own design and
implementation pass. Scoped as a separate feature branch when ready.
