+## Conditional next-battle leader question — 28 October 2026
+
+**Prototyped / Partial.** In a quiet Basic Shipment and Movement window with
+classic factions and no optional modules, a player can ask whether another
+player will use a named native leader in that player's first later battle this
+turn, if one occurs. A definite answer creates a waiting receipt; it does not
+require a shipment, movement or battle. At the first actual battle involving
+that player the receipt binds its real battle event and uses the native plan
+validator and guidance. If no battle occurs, the receipt expires when Battle
+ends. An independently impossible answer is released by the existing battle
+promise reconciliation. Another structured action answer for that respondent
+is guarded while the conditional answer is active; broader promise composition,
+expansion factions, optional modules and Advanced are not supported here.
+
+The publisher's [November 2020 FAQ](https://www.gf9games.com/dune/wp-content/uploads/2020/11/Dune-FAQ-Nov-2020.pdf)
+permits game-related current-turn action questions and requires honoring an
+answer while possible. The first-battle binding and no-opportunity expiry are
+provisional online interpretations, not specific publisher rulings. The
+[native runtime tests](../tests/truth-future-battle-leader-runtime.test.ts)
+exercise both answers and expiry without inventing a battle.
