Complete provisional Basic Tupile slot lifecycle

Basic marked Homeworld games now use the existing provisional current-sole-controller policy for Tupile slots. Observed eligible intervals retain one original activation across turns, close on departure/foreign contest/native high, and create a fresh source on restoration even when same-turn qualification rows deduplicate. Preserve original valid source histories and the lease format. Advanced retains its authorized last-departure rule.

Original normal-limit cleanup remains binding before a returning holder can reuse a slot. Native low intelligence becomes available after Basic loss subject to actual population/contact, without clearing historical answers or lifetime faction usage. Existing owner-only cleanup controls and minimal policies use the native event and exact held cards. Persistent table and cleanup text explain the provisional policy. No new profile, state version or module opening.

Validation and exact frozen-source evidence are recorded in the canonical Tupile runtime contract. Two original public Basic programmes use actual setup, three paid normal lots, earned Guild shipment income, a paid invasion and native battle, one continuous slot, optional real fifth purchase, paid last departure and zero/one normal-limit cleanup. All four minimal profiles submit legal held-card choices and finish the turn. Controlled interval/reactivation, allied cleanup and intelligence probes remain separate. No broad save/recovery campaign or strategy tuning.

This is a first-version application interpretation under the standing recommended-choice direction; publisher Basic lifecycle clarification, full module/mode acceptance, final assurance and browser/deployed proof remain open. No saved-room/database/reset/restart/deployment operation.
