+// exitDisplay summarizes how an exit appears to a player: whether it is listed
+// at all (and traversable by the map BFS / walk pathfinder), whether movement
+// is refused (and the look listing should tag it "(blocked)"), and whether the
+// listing should tag it "(HIDDEN)".
+//
+// It is the single source of truth shared by the look listing, the standalone
+// `exits` command, `look <direction>`, movement, the map connector state, the
+// `verbs` command, and the walk pathfinder — replacing the per-callsite inline
+// checks that previously disagreed (e.g. gods saw a "(blocked)" tag in look
+// even though they can traverse and the map renders the link open).
+//
+// Semantics:
+//   - Hidden exit: visible only once discovered (gods always discover). When
+//     visible it is tagged "(HIDDEN)". A nil player (background render) never
+//     discovers, so hidden exits are absent.
+//   - God mode: exits are visible and never blocked (matches map rendering).
+//   - always_blocked: absolute — blocks movement/listing/map regardless of any
+//     condition. The condition is NOT evaluated when always_blocked is set.
+//   - condition: blocks when present and failing for this player.
