Phase 09: Ministry of Truth easter egg — propaganda non-answers for redacted stats #392

Description

@elfensky

Parent: #178 · Follow-up to #391

A delight feature, split out of the #391 archives-stats redesign.

When an archived season has no h1_statistic telemetry, #391 renders the four telemetry cards (HELLDIVERS_ONLINE, ENEMIES_KILLED, HELLDIVERS_LOST, MISSIONS_WON) with a censor-bar DATA REDACTED — MINISTRY OF TRUTH treatment.

This issue: an easter-egg toggle that swaps the censor bars for absurd in-character propaganda non-answers, e.g.:

  • ENEMIES_KILLED → COUNTLESS
  • HELLDIVERS_LOST → ZERO* (*heroes never die)
  • HELLDIVERS_ONLINE → MILLIONS
  • MISSIONS_WON → ALL OF THEM

Open design questions

  • The toggle. The existing Cyberstan EffectsToggle only appears on defeat seasons, but redaction applies to every pre-telemetry season — so this needs its own toggle, or a generalisation of the effects system.
  • Where the toggle lives, whether the choice persists, default state.

Depends on: #391
