Feature - Implemented LavaCo Lamp Factory 1: Add option to "Leave the machine alone"

While spending turns in the LavaCo Lamp Factory to get to the post-glass ceiling factoids, I noticed that in the Adventure -> Choice Advs -> Zone -> LavaCo Lamp Factory 1 dropdown there was not an option to take the last choice, Leave the machine alone. Having previously made the lava lamps, and with several fused fuses in hand, I didn't need to actually do anything in this adventure.

I thought it may have been left out because it was unknown if leaving cost an adventure; if it did, then why not at least get a fuse or something out of it. So, checking my charsheet for my Adventures remaining after each adventure, I saw them fail to change from the adventure before when I chose to Leave the machine alone. No adventure loss when leaving. I also edited the wiki to specify that.

I would like to have an option to leave that non-combat "The Floor Is Yours" in the dropdown so it can be used when autoadventuring.

I copied the html of the options from the source, if it helps:

Slightly oddly to me, I noticed in the gCLI's manual control request that the "Leave" choice is option 9, while the other choices are options 1-7.

Normally they'd take 6 as the ignore choice. In this case, that was a useful choice, so they picked the next multiple of 3.

I wouldn't go so far as to ascribe a motive like that but, yes - the HTML you posted confirms that 9 is the correct value for the "Leave" choice. As you can tell, since the gCLI listing of choices parses the HTML to tell you what the valid choices are.
