If the apply Dodge and Cover results happen before the covert dice stage, does that mean that surges are not cancelled during the apply Dodge and Cover step and sneak past to the next step to be modified into hits? Because Dodge and Cover only cancel hits not surges, correct? And that step is over by the time it is time to covert surges to hits. Correct? Or am I missing something?
Do surges to hit get by Dodge and Cover?
No. Converting surges happens before dodge and cover.

Yeah, this one is always confusing for people. The surge to hit/crits happens during the dice rolling phase, not the modify dice step. It’s not very intuitive, but that’s how it works.

Converting Offensive surges happens before applying Cover/Dodge. It is why Critical is a good keyword.

Yeah, but also as a small matter of being super technical that I've seen people get wrong, re-rolls are first, then surges. So just as good practice, make sure to spend that aim before changing dice facings just in case you run into "that guy".
