The output chips stopped testing the unlock state last commit; the input ones
were left doing it, on a comment that had outlived its design -- buffers have
been sized for the selected recipe alone for some time, not unioned over every
recipe of the building's type.
With the summary and the dialog now offering only recipes the player can run,
the test is dead for a miner, smelter or assembler: step 4 unlocks a recipe only
if it produces something unlocked, and step 2 has then already unlocked its
inputs. It could still fire for a reprocessing plant, whose inputs no traversal
propagates -- and firing is the bad case, not the good one. It would empty the
input section of a plant that is running, while the summary directly above went
on naming the material it eats.
Both sections now say the same thing: one chip per buffer the building has.
Whether a buffer exists is a fact about the building rather than about the
player's progression, and one they cannot fill yet reads 0, which is what it
holds.
