Fixedart in gauntlet

If you see a unique item in a gauntlet but you pick a different path through the gauntlet, is it gone forever?

Yes.

Only a couple specific things let items labelled unrand reappear and I don’t see anything more granular about being in Gauntlet paths:

github.com

crawl/crawl/blob/master/crawl-ref/source/artefact.cc#L313-L321


      
          : !crawl_state.generating_level // acquirement, gozag shops, ...
                  // treat unrands that generate in these branches as if they
                  // were acquired. TODO: there's a potential bug here if every
                  // octopus king ring generates and the last is acquired.
                  // note that unrands that generate in the abyss and get left
                  // there will convert to UNIQ_LOST_IN_ABYSS, but they don't
                  // get this automatically.
                  || level_id::current().branch == BRANCH_TROVE
                  || level_id::current().branch == BRANCH_ABYSS

The acquirement ability to allow items to reappear doesn’t seem to apply to the unique evokers whose generation seems to be entirely within make item and never calls the uniqueness logic in artefact.cc.
