The paladalla profile sets run_baal_xp=1 in [routes] but has no [baal_xp]
section, so the leech enable flag resolves to the params.ini default (1).
The 09-08 '5 cycles failed in a row' breaker was the join failing after the
fallback candidate was picked - the cycle then never re-armed and the bot
fell through to end_game. The rearm loop (98f9b73) handles that; this just
documents where the flag actually comes from so the next debug session does
not chase a phantom profile override.
