The relative lane is vetoed; an aimed ball never lands on the wrong side of you

'No that's way too difficult now - I am dying constantly of out. revert
it.' aimAnchor is gone — the lane is absolute again, every out invariant
back exactly as tuned. What survives is the answer to his follow-up: the
ball sometimes flew a LITTLE RIGHT out of a left flick, because a
mistimed left flick's target sits only slightly left of CENTRE — which
is right of a player standing in the left service box. The absolute
lane's blind spot, stated the other way round.

The aimed target is now clamped to the player's own x on the flicked
side, bounded at flickWidth so a body parked in the alley clamps to the
corner rather than conjuring an out. From the left box a left flick goes
at least down your own line, from centre it can no longer cross centre,
a perfect corner flick and the crosscourt sweep are untouched, and the
outward scatter tail keeps the whole tuned out-risk. Verified in his
scene: ten rushed weak left flicks land -2.0..-2.7 where the same case
used to target -0.7..-1.3 (a visibly rightward flight); the clean full
flick still lands -3.92.

**...VETOED the same day and replaced by the wrong-side guard** (2026-08-20: *"no that's way too
difficult now - I am dying constantly of out. revert it."*). The relative lane is gone
(`aimAnchor` deleted; git has it if ever wanted). What survives is the answer to his follow-up —
*"the ball sometimes actually flies a little to the right, although I flicked left. how can this
be?"* — which is the absolute lane's blind spot stated the other way round: a mistimed left
flick's target sits only slightly left of CENTRE, and that is RIGHT of a player standing in the
left box, so the ball visibly flew rightward out of a left flick. **The aimed target is now
clamped to the player's own x on the flicked side** (bounded at ±`flickWidth`, so a body parked
in the alley clamps to the corner and can never conjure an out): from the left box a left flick
goes at least down your own line, from centre it can no longer cross centre, a perfect corner
flick and the crosscourt sweep are untouched, and the outward scatter tail — the whole tuned
out-risk — is unchanged. Verified in his scene: ten rushed weak left flicks landed −2.0..−2.7
(previously targets −0.7..−1.3 — a rightward flight); the clean full flick still lands −3.92.
**The umpire and the boy.** `aside()` refused during any interlude and the match runs on a permanent
one, so he was silently muted for the entire mode — the one mode that is literally a tennis match he
is sitting over (`G.interlude && !G.match` now, the same shape as `sendBoy`). Six dry lines: two on
