 ## 87c3a31: `Simulation.read_surface_exchange` accepts Jet-driven bodies
 
 `read_surface_exchange(id)` previously required `SurfaceActuation` on the body.
 It now also accepts bodies that own Jet aperture links, including Jets with zero
-or negative amplitude. Bodies without any aperture still raise
+or negative amplitude (the aperture test is geometric). Bodies with neither
+`SurfaceActuation` nor aperture links still raise
 `ValueError("Body has no surface actuation")`. The value is unchanged: the latest
 step's wall/aperture exchange, not total nozzle force.
