👑 Queen Handling Protocols (2D)

A 2D top-down companion to the 3D queen-introduction lab: tune cage type, colony receptiveness, queenless duration and temperature, then watch the candy plug deplete and the worker retinue either calm into an accepting guard circle or ball tightly around the queen.

This 2D companion runs the same acceptance model as the 3D lab through a plain top-down canvas: workers orbit the cage in gold when calm and red when hostile, tightening into a ball or loosening into a guard circle once the candy plug opens and the outcome is decided.

⚙ Under the hood

2D top-down queen-introduction cage: cage type, colony receptiveness, queenless duration and temperature feed the same acceptance-chance formula as the 3D original, resolved once the candy plug (or exposure timer) runs out.
