HearthFix

Fixes newly placed fireplaces and wisp torches not lighting when NoSmokeSimplified or NoSmokeStayLit is installed.

Problem

When NoSmokeSimplified or NoSmokeStayLit is installed, newly built hearths, campfires, and wisp torches (piece_demister) do not light. The piece appears placed but never starts burning, requiring a relog or world reload to fix.

NoSmokeStayLit's "Keep Lit" feature incidentally masks this for standard kept-lit pieces, but wisp torches (piece_demister) are still broken in both mods, as are any pieces where the user has disabled "Keep Lit" in NoSmokeStayLit's config.

Root Cause

Both mods patch Fireplace.IsBurning to check the ZDO "fuel" key directly. For a freshly placed fireplace, that key hasn't been written to the ZDO yet — GetFloat("fuel", 0f) returns 0, so IsBurning incorrectly returns false.

Fix

A second Postfix on Fireplace.IsBurning runs at Priority.Low (after the other mod's patch). If IsBurning is still false and the ZDO has no "fuel" key yet (detected via a -1 sentinel), and the piece has m_startFuel > 0, the piece was just placed and should be burning — so IsBurning is corrected to true.

Compatibility

Soft dependency on NoSmokeSimplified and NoSmokeStayLit — mod loads and works correctly regardless of which is installed
