## Test It
- [ ] All 4 enums created with correct values
- [ ] All 3 structs created with correct fields
- [ ] `DA_StateGatingTable` populated with 37 rules
- [ ] PIE: `IsActionPermitted(SprintTag)` returns `false` when crouching
- [ ] `RequestStateChange(Fire)` returns `Granted` when idle
- [ ] `ForceStateChange(Dead)` → `IsActionPermitted(AnyTag)` returns `false`
- [ ] `RestorePreviousState()` → previous state restored
