+Persistent controls name the captured chooser; the same minimal policy adapter

+normalization and later Occupy cancellation remain unchanged. Existing opened

Under the 8 October Basic-first prototype instruction, Basic now provisionally uses the main p8 paragraph: ceiling contribution/loss and floor survivors, with a visible control warning.

+## Low Ecaz opponent-owned lead choice — 25 October 2026
+
+**Prototyped / Partial.** The verified Ecaz Low face says that when Ecaz and
+its ally both fight another faction, that opponent chooses which allied
+faction fights. The [component audit](HOMEWORLD_COMPONENT_AUDIT.md#verified-low-side-effects)
+and [native population manifest](HOMEWORLD_COMPONENT_AUDIT.md#canonical-physical-manifest)
+bind Low to zero through six native reserves and High to seven or more.
+This is a printed penalty, not a new numerical or timing interpretation.
+The original combined-battle opener now assigns its existing two-choice
+control to the actual opposing faction at Low; at High or without Homeworlds,
+Ecaz retains that choice. No extra acknowledgement, payment or card is added.
+
+The selected lead still owns its leaders, hand and spice. The physical ally
+still supplies the original variable army while Ecaz's fixed contribution is
+unchanged. Original battle-order scheduling and aggressor normalization remain.
+Karama may subsequently prevent Occupy, keeping the selected lead and excluding
+the other army; it does not undo the Homeworld's mandatory chooser penalty.
+Choices use only the original public allied identities, never rival hand
+contents. Only the captured decision owner may choose; stale events and foreign
+actors remain rejected. Already-opened decisions retain their saved owner
+rather than reopening a choice or changing an in-flight parent.
+
+The persistent panel and unavailable reasons name the actual chooser and
+explain Low Ecaz. The four existing profiles consume the same original legal
+lead options without strategic tuning. This applies to newly opened admitted
+Arrakis coalitions in either rules band; it adds no coalition to Homeworld
+locations, new profile or occupation-retention rule.

+a paid eight-counter city shipment: native Low6/four spice. Both opponent-
+selected leads in both modes reach Collection. Actual Guild Karama preserves
+the selected allied lead and spares Ecaz8; the High7 boundary is earned through
+an actual seven-counter shipment and accepts the ordinary Ecaz callback.
+All four original opponent profiles select legally in both bands. Seven helper/

+The first source smoke repairs an incorrectly selected setup-phase control;

Invaders retain their own faction and physical force types; native reserves and foreign garrisons must be distinguishable. Total faction inventory continues to include forces on Arrakis, on every Homeworld, and in the Tanks.

 # Dune implementation status

+## 25 October 2026 — Low Ecaz gives the allied battle choice to its opponent
+
+The native Homeworld Low face's printed opponent-choice penalty now connects
+to the original combined-battle opener. A focused quote uses current native
+Ecaz population, delegating at0–6 and retaining Ecaz at7+ or without Worlds.
+The original decision captures the actual opposing player and optional public
+Low marker. Existing opened decisions retain their saved chooser. Controls,
+unavailable reasons, log and the existing four-profile legality adapter name
+that owner, without new acknowledgements, payments or strategic tuning.
+
+Both original allied lead choices preserve their own plan/cards/spice, the
+physical variable ally, mandatory Ecaz contribution and native aggressor order.
+Subsequent Karama may prevent Occupy but keeps the selected lead and spares the
+excluded army; it does not undo the independent Homeworld penalty. This is a
+printed-rule integration, not a new numeric/timing ruling, profile admission,
+Homeworld-location coalition or occupation-retention policy.

+Disjoint helper/control and native-source lanes, bounded read-only review and
+root integration pass **9 files, 160/160**, types/lint/build and six native
+actual component-callback/engine/GameTable SSR journeys. Public Basic74 and
+Advanced83 source actions earn original setup (six Ecaz in Basin), actual worm
+alliance and paid eight-counter city shipment, leaving Low6/four spice. Either
+opponent-selected lead reaches Collection in each mode. Original Guild Karama
+keeps the selected allied lead, spends its genuine card and spares Ecaz8.
+An actual seven-counter shipment earns High7/five spice and the ordinary Ecaz
+callback. Ten native cases cover denial/stale input, both leads/cancellation,
+threshold and all four original profiles in both modes. Seven helper/control
+cases include explicitly controlled projections rather than invented native
+source proof. No played hand/wallet/army/phase/alliance or decision is installed.
+
+Initial source feedback repairs a fixture's setup-phase step. Frozen quick
+passes; its runtime then exposes a fixture bot spending Guild's starting Karama
+to stop Emperor's Advanced shipment before any coalition. An explicit original
+Allow keeps that shipment and the actual card for the intended battle counter.
