The lock is spent once per battle: a carrier knocked out after its lock comes back without one (forced-hammer bot matches: 27 of 382 carrier knock-outs). The 阿戈尔 battle-start devour (5000 physical damage) also spends it on the fodder in front. Both stay as they were; the per-battle scope is marked [ASSUMED] in the code and its test, with the one-line flip named. The SIM hook table's fatal row no longer lists 不屈 (a death hook) and names the boss-pool exception.
