Nothing stopped the player from picking up scenery. The front door is an ordinary switchable item in the foyer whose on-transition sets the 'left_manor' flag that every ending keys off, so it could be carried into the cellar and used there to end the game two floors underground. The chapel shrine could likewise be carried out and the locket/photograph ritual performed anywhere. Item gains a 'fixed' flag; TakeCommand refuses fixed items and leaves them in the room. Fixed items stay usable in place, so all recipes still work. Marked fixed: front_door, shrine, generator, valve, portrait — their descriptions already claimed they were bolted down.
