Scores live on owners
A score <name> worth N line declares a scoring identity on the owner
it appears under: the story header, a create block, a trait, or an
action. award <name> grants it from any behavior body. Scoring is
enabled once, with a use scoring line in the story header. Without it,
score and award are compile errors.

Score identities are owner-scoped: two entities can each declare score fed worth 10 and they are different scores. Awards dedupe by identity,
so awarding the same score twice grants it once; there is no need to
guard award behind a first-time check. The full scoring model,
including trait- and action-owned scores, is described elsewhere in the
guide.
