Problem

The port is complete, but the code still reads as if it is half-finished.
Five places claim work is pending that has in fact been done.

1. Dead `panic("daemon not yet ported")`

// game/daemons.go:8-17
func (g *RogueGame) runDaemon(id DaemonID, arg int) {
	h := g.data.daemonHandlers[id]
	if h == nil {
		// Handlers are added to the table as their subsystems are
		// ported; reaching one that isn't there is a porting bug.
		panic("daemon not yet ported")
	}

daemonHandlers in game/tables.go populates all 13 DaemonID values
(DRollwand … DTurnSee), so this branch is unreachable. It is the only
panic("not implemented")-shaped construct in the repo and it makes the port
look unfinished to any reader.

2. Four stale "arrives with a later phase" comments

Location	Claim	Reality
`game/daemons.go:5`	"stomach() arrives with the endgame phase"	`stomach` is at `daemons.go:116`
`game/misc.go:5`	"call_it arrives with the scroll/potion phase"	`callIt` is at `misc.go:563`
`game/game.go:149`	"the player roll-up and first level arrive with later porting phases"	`New` calls `initPlayer()` at `game.go:194`
`game/game.go:270`	"The final scoring display arrives with the endgame phase"	`quit` calls `g.score(...)` at `game.go:288`

Definition of done

The unreachable panic branch is resolved — either deleted (if the
invariant is genuinely guaranteed by the table's construction) or
kept with a corrected comment explaining it is a defensive invariant check,
not a porting placeholder. State which you chose and why in the PR.
The four stale comments are corrected to describe what the code does now,
keeping the (file.c func_name) C-lineage breadcrumbs intact.
A check that no other "arrives with", "not yet ported", "will be added",
or similar porting-era language remains anywhere in the tree — grep for it
and report what you found.
make check fully green.
TODO.md updated in the same commit.
Commit title ends with (closes #N).

Implementation requirements

Zero behavior change. If deleting the panic branch, confirm first that
every DaemonID really is populated — read tables.go and verify, do not
assume. If any is not, that is a bug: stop and report it instead.
Do not remove or reword the (file.c func_name) breadcrumbs; they are
deliberate and required by MEMORY.md.
Do not "tidy" anything else while in these files. Keep the diff surgical.
make targets only. Do NOT modify .golangci.yml.
Never mention Claude or Anthropic anywhere.

Note

This touches .go files, so it goes through normal adversarial review — it is
not eligible for the docs-only fast path even though it changes only comments.

## Problem The port is complete, but the code still reads as if it is half-finished. Five places claim work is pending that has in fact been done. ### 1. Dead `panic("daemon not yet ported")` ```go // game/daemons.go:8-17 func (g *RogueGame) runDaemon(id DaemonID, arg int) { h := g.data.daemonHandlers[id] if h == nil { // Handlers are added to the table as their subsystems are // ported; reaching one that isn't there is a porting bug. panic("daemon not yet ported") } ``` `daemonHandlers` in `game/tables.go` populates **all 13** `DaemonID` values (`DRollwand` … `DTurnSee`), so this branch is unreachable. It is the only `panic("not implemented")`-shaped construct in the repo and it makes the port look unfinished to any reader. ### 2.
