+## Paired E3 without Nexus — 17 October 2026
+
+Fresh native Ecaz+Moritani/classics all14 Skills now uses its original setup
+without an artificial Nexus dependency, Basic/Advanced2–6, optionally independent
+cards (ecaz33/36) and no other modules. One physical-roster validator serves
+both original paired Nexus and plain Skills predicates. No Nexus hand is
+created; native6/6, Loyalty, ordinary assignment discs, mandatory Banker and
+native powers remain. Shared Duke never trains. Advanced Harkonnen, mixed
+families and other plain-pair module combinations retain their guards.
+
+The existing Ecaz programme now uses native Moritani as its actual variable
+army/optional lead: native normal counters, own fee/returns and separate fixed
+Ecaz losses remain. Trained Ecaz Suk rescues committed own losses, never reserve
+fees or the ally. The Moritani programme now loses against actual Ecaz, reveals
+one different held unused trained Ecaz4, returns one skill and replaces the
+actual Traitor once at Mentat. Basic and no-card controls remain native.
+
+Existing fixtures/tests `fixture-ecaz-independent-skills.ts`,
+`ecaz-independent-skills-runtime.test.ts`,
+`fixture-moritani-independent-skills.ts` and
+`moritani-independent-skills-runtime.test.ts` extend `paired:true`; original
+standalone defaults stay. `tests/paired-e3-skills-arrival.test.ts` additionally
+uses genuine placements/paid entry for both native reactions, including
+card-only factions without Skills. See the
+[unchanged provisional queue policy](MORITANI_ENTRY_TIMING.md#paired-skills-and-independent-card-entries--17-october-2026).

+Frozen29-file323/323, types/lint/build, paired runtime programmes and four-policy
