One question. Let's say a Lion, Horned Falcon, or Soaring Eagle skips a turn inside its promotion zone (They are the only promotable pieces with this ability). Would that piece be allowed to promote after doing this?

In my rule-enforcing preset for this game, promoting a piece after it skips a turn is currently disallowed. This is because the preset is based on my rule-enforcing preset for Suzumu Shogi (a game which explicitly prohibits promoting after skipping a turn). However, historical sources (which are already terse and/or incomplete) do not elaborate on this particular situation as far as I know. Should I remove the code disallowing promotion after skipping a turn?
