Going back through Ginia's list of nanotech, I'd like to reconfirm which ones she has and which one she doesn't so I need to know what to retcon.

Here are the ones that all work passively. Presumably she still has all of these ones because they're a part of her innate system and she has no control over how they work?

Full disease protection, birth control: Immunity to all known Earth diseases, bacteria and virus based, cannot get pregnant. Would not cover magical/otherworldly/plot diseases/illness.

Cell regeneration: Not full or immediate regeneration, but she’ll bounce back from an injury faster than the average human. Injuries generally scar less too.

Air filtering (up to ten minutes), toxin filtering, full blood filtering: Short of a neurotoxin or anything instantaneous, toxins/poisons do not affect Ginia. Notably, Ginia can’t get drunk as her blood filters out the alcohol too fast. Over-the-counter pain medication also don’t work, nor does caffeine. Air filtering means Ginia can breathe in noxious fumes without any lasting damage (though it won’t feel great). Does not apply to anything magical/otherwordly/plot.

Increased strength, stamina, reinforced bones/joints: Nanomachines reinforcing her skeletal structure, joints, and muscles means she has strength, speed, and stamina above a human.

Thermoregulation: Works between -20 and 120 F, but mainly kicks in at 20 F or below or 100 F and above. Most effective the first three hours before gradually dropping off in effectiveness. Requires a rest period of 24 hours in average temperature ranges to reset if pushed pass three hours.

These two work passively, but have some outer control too. Would the passive portions still work, or are these two lost entirely?

Pain dampener: Works automatically, body will dampen the nervous system to reduce the effects of pain. Can also be manually toggled and adjusted on a scale. Long-term use can cause nerve damage.

Hearing protection: Kicks in automatically when a certain decibel threshold is surpassed. Can also be manually toggled.

And here are the ones that are entirely dormant until Plot occurs:

Eye nanites: Low-light vision, can calculate the distance between objects and material density, can also track electrical currents/devices and see them as a highlighted overlay though it doesn’t give information on what the object is. All of these require her to actively toggle on, prolonged use will cause eye strain up to permanent damage.

Injury failsafe: One time use. In case of heavy injury resulting in bleeding (internal and/or external), this nanomachine will link together and try to seal the wound. Designed for severe injuries like a gunshot or stab wound and as a stop gap so Ginia can get medical attention. Wouldn’t work for something immediately fatal like a gunshot to the head or heart.
