feedback5 WY: a newly merged elite 拉普兰德 is a new 拉普兰德 — its first manual refresh this round adds +8 even when its copies already fired (GitHub #169; the owner's decision of 2026-10-06)

garrison_123 「<刷新时>若为本回合首次主动刷新…此干员在整备区时也有效」 counts per piece (§21.1). No source says whether a
merge resets the count; since 0.1.1 _mergeChess carried the copies' highest per-piece round count onto the elite
([ASSUMED], conservative), so two white copies that had fired this round made an elite that did not fire again. The
owner decided on 2026-10-06 that a newly merged elite counts as a new 拉普兰德.

server/match/player/acquire.js _mergeChess no longer carries the per-piece round counters (拉普兰德's refresh count,
garrison:SERVER_GAIN_BOND_LAYER_BY_REFRESH_CNT:refreshes, is the only one): the elite starts at 0 like any new piece;
an in-place promotion keeps its count. test/match/feedback1-meta.test.js: the test that locked the old inherit is
updated on purpose (the elite adds +8 on its next refresh, once), and the case "two white copies refreshed this round,
merge, refresh → +8" is new; both fail without the change. Docs: META (counter API, edge cases), PLAYING, the comments
(PlayerState, pieces, effectsMeta, garrisons/meta), DESIGN §25.13.3 and the §25.10 table.
Golden unchanged (no corpus match merges 拉普兰德 after a refresh in the same round).
