+**Basic leaderless preparation with Harkonnen — 29 October. Prototyped /
+Partial.** Fresh classic Basic games with Harkonnen now use public native
+leader snapshots to open dead-leader preparation and qualify early notices.
+Controlled captives remain legal leaders. Harkonnen's own early notice stays
+at plan submission while it retains a concealed captive, avoiding an identity
+inference. Genuine public setup and shipments with staged leader history and
+conserved captive/card custody cover hidden retained and executed identities,
+Ghola and four minimal bot profiles. Eight related files pass 39 cases,
+including six new cases; type checking, lint and production build pass. The
+timing is provisional; broader faction/module combinations, the deferred
+Harkonnen notice and deployed acceptance remain open.
