+Truthtrance questions now evaluate every member of a group, including grouped
+and mixed expressions. A respondent can stay when their answers match, or leave
+their group when that owned action satisfies them; the guide does not invent
+another player's consent. Another member may leave, with the existing
+reconciliation rules releasing an answer only if it becomes impossible. Bribe
+questions reject every current group ally as a recipient. Whole-turn alliance
+leaves, group changes with live bribe or whole-turn commitments, and wider
+combinations remain unfinished.
+
+Action-level worm tests additionally exercise three and four threatened group
+allies in order, with separate allow, cancel or decline outcomes and the
+Fremen survival response. Those fixtures stage forces together to exercise the
+response sequence; they do not establish a naturally reachable full-game
+position. The membership, departure and multi-ally protection procedures remain
+provisional. Group games still cannot be started from the lobby.
