Cycle 80 - Lunette
Lunette
A lunette is a detached crescent outwork: useful when the line needs a forward buffer that can pivot pressure before it hits the core. Keep the apex clear, surface unresolved ownership, and run every handoff with explicit custody.
Project a forward screen so incoming pressure gets buffered before the main line absorbs it.
Lunette risk mix: high 3 - medium 1 - low 3
