+# when the build window OPENS, so you set the mode first, then open the menu.
+#
+# Three buttons share one slot in the bar; the bound button_effect `potential`
+# (evaluated live, FROM = the viewing player's country) shows only the one matching

+# MERGE METHOD (Tier 1 template):
+#   * Base = Giga's definition — it uses the modern 4.x dismantle API
+#     (dismantle_cost/dismantle_possible/...), the correct hyper-relay portrait,
+#     the richer `possible` block, Giga's AI weighting, and already lists
+#     `giga_hyper_relay_ai_site` in upgrade_from (so Giga's AI relay placement
+#     keeps working).
+#   * Graft from AOW = its per-structure enable/disable toggle
+#     `AOW_trigger_mega_potential = { KEY = hyper_relay }`, added to `potential`
+#     so AOW's settings menu can still disable the relay. (Defaults to enabled.)
+#   * upgrade_from = union of both — Giga's is already the superset here.
+# Net: nothing from either mod is lost regardless of load order.

+# PROBLEM: Both mods overwrite the same vanilla scripted_triggers, but each only
+# "knows" its own megastructures:
+#   - Giga's versions are huge hard-coded enumerations of Giga megastructure IDs
+#     (zzz_overwrites.txt) and never list AOW structures.
+#   - AOW's versions (zz_AOW_trgr_Vanilla.txt) only account for AOW structures.
+# Whichever loads last wins, so cross-mod placement checks misfire (double-builds,
+# broken gating).
+#
+# FIX: Re-author each trigger using mod-AGNOSTIC generic iterators
+# (has_any_megastructure / any_owned_megastructure / any_system_megastructure),
+# enumerating only the small, stable set of "gate-type" megastructures as the
+# exception. That way both mods' rosters are recognized automatically.
