Bryce 11df54bc26 Analyze Loom: Add sensory-exploitation examples (tower stealth via Invisibility, Terror on shepherds), multi-character-coordination single-character substitution variant (Forge entry via Reflection), strengthen observation-replay and pattern-learning documentation with detailed Loom draft systems
Puzzle types documented for Loom:
- Sensory Exploitation: Tower workers' visual perception exploited via Invisibility draft; Shepherds' fear exploited via Terror draft
- Multi-Character Coordination: Forge Entry via Reflection as single-character identity substitution workaround
- Observation Replay (existing): Full draft sequence memorization system with randomized melodic content
- Pattern Learning/Knowledge Transfer (existing): Draft reversal system and mechanical grammar application
