.: Help for surrender

When an opponent locks a submission on you, the engine consults
your surrender policy to decide whether
to send them a tap signal. This happens automatically — no in-round
prompt.

━━━ The Realism Caveat ━━━

The tap is a SIGNAL, not a guarantee. Only opponents with
mercy submission policy honor it.
Bandits, predators, and most hostile NPCs ignore your tap and apply
their policy anyway. A guard might subdue you instead of crippling.
A wolf will probably eat your face regardless.

━━━ Surrender Policies ━━━

  never                    — Never tap. Take whatever they give you.

  always                   — Tap immediately on any successful sub.
                             Useful for civilian / non-combatant characters.

  auto-tap-below <N>      (default: 15) Tap when your HP is
                             below N%. Best of both worlds — fight on while
                             you can, surrender when you're done for.

━━━ Setting Your Policy ━━━
