"""Arrow Chain Traversal (irregular scattered arrows). Small arrows are scattered across an open canvas. Each arrow is enclosed in its own circle, and points at the circle's center — so a ray extended from the arrow through the centre exits the circle on the opposite side. A handful of larger, labeled terminus circles sit among the arrows. The traversal rule is pure first-hit ray casting: - Start at the green arrow S. - Draw a ray from the current arrow's centre along its pointing direction. The next step is the FIRST other circle the ray enters. - Continue until the ray enters a labeled terminus circle; report its label. The design deliberately avoids a grid. The "next element" is a global, ray-dependent matching problem over every circle on the canvas, so the transition table can only be reconstructed by doing the same geometric work as the task itself — for every arrow. Decoys are placed everywhere except in corridors that would interfere with the intended chain.
