Mutations can modify one another so a strain is more than a list of independent potion effects.

Interaction actions

• Add extra effects when all/any partners are present.
• Modify parameters on a matching continuous effect.
• Suppress an owned effect.
• Grant a compound mutation.
• Remove or replace an incompatible/lower-tier mutation.

Bundled examples

• Hypervirulence amplifies Necrotic Fever's weakness.
• Respiratory Shedding plus Spore Cloud increases strain strength.
• Hypervirulence plus Vaccine Defense grants Reinforced Vaccine Defense.
• Grass Eater removes Grass Dependency.
• Self Respiration removes Amphibious Fatigue.
• Poison/Honey resistance removes Poison.
• Tier II/III simple effects replace their lower tier.
• Zoonotic Adaptation strengthens Gastrointestinal Shedding's food chain.

Interactions belong in JSON definitions rather than an ever-growing set of hard-coded pair checks. Addon IDs must stay stable because saved strains may already contain them.
