ExoticDeposit

Extends Site (shared members and the pre-survey snapshot rule there). Any Site-returning API where kind() == "exotic", e.g. exotic_gas_cap.deposit(), exotic_spring_tap.deposit().

Detail is gated by survey tier: basic reveals phase, wide adds rates, deep adds cycle timing.

Method	Returns	Needs	Meaning
.fluid()	string or None	survey	Emitted fluid id: "ammonia", "swamp_gas", "raw_sulfur_gas", "raw_chlorine", "brine", "raw_cryofluid", "raw_quicksilver"
.medium()	string or None	survey	"gas" (tap with Exotic Gas Cap) or "liquid" (Exotic Spring Tap)
.rarity()	string or None	survey	"common" (usable direct) / "uncommon" / "rare" (raw feedstock for the Refiner). Rarer deposits are sparser and stay dormant longer
.survey_level()	string or None	any	"basic" / "wide" / "deep", live; a deeper re-survey upgrades held objects
.current_phase()	string or None	basic	"active" (emitting) or "dormant", live
.base_rate()	number or None	wide	Peak output t/h during active phase
.current_rate()	number or None	wide	Output t/h right now (0 dormant), live
.cycle_active_minutes() / .cycle_dormant_minutes()	number or None	deep	Phase durations (rare deposits stay dormant longest)
.next_phase_in()	number or None	deep	Game-minutes until the next flip, live
.has_cap() / .cap_id()	boolean / string	live	Whether a cap/tap is deployed, and its machine id
