 The printed Atomics contract above is connected for a bounded classic-plus-Moritani prototype without Guild, Ecaz or optional modules and with Moritani's alliance stable after activation. On an eligible entry the owner may leave Atomics hidden or reveal it; revealing kills every faction's forces in the territory and records public Aftermath there. The public map and Terror notice identify the territory and lasting shipment ban without identifying a still-placed hidden token's face. The owner sees the consequences before choosing to reveal. Ordinary movement and Sneak Attack are not prohibited by Aftermath, but shipments into that territory, including Fremen reinforcements, are.
 
 From activation turn forward, Moritani and the ally **at activation** each have a hand limit reduced by one. Each discards one random card per excess card on resolution, and their projected hand limits reflect the lasting penalty. The Aftermath record includes the territory, turn, Moritani seat and original ally seat; it is not a second secret Terror face. The publisher paragraph ([E3-M, p. 5](https://gamers-hq.de/media/pdf/0f/7a/86/Dune_EcazMoritani_Rulebook_EN.pdf#page=5)) does not resolve what happens on later alliance change, so that transition remains gated rather than assigning the penalty to a new ally by inference. This checkpoint does not enable complete Moritani games or public expansion starts; other reactions and module combinations retain their own gates. Earlier absence statements above describe their dated checkpoints, not current behavior.

+## Recommended persistent activation targets — 14 October 2026
+
+The earlier stable-alliance gate is superseded. Moritani and its ally at
+activation keep their one-card hand-limit penalties after a break, a later
+Nexus pact or Enemy of My Enemy acceptance. No later ally inherits a penalty;
+an originally unallied detonation never creates an ally target afterward.
+Original Aftermath territory/turn/seat identities and hand-limit custody stay
+authoritative. The publisher ambiguity above remains; this is the conservative
+recommended prototype choice, not a separately answered numerical user ruling.
+
+Fresh receipts use `alliancePolicy: 'activation-targets'`. Old active
+`'unresolved'` receipts adopt the same stored original targets immutably in
+action, automatic-continuation and view entry paths, without replaying
+casualties or random discards. The unused alliance-status, alliance-block and
+test-only hand-limit helpers were removed. Existing Homeworld alliance
+restrictions, Karama timing and the bounded Atomics mode gate remain intact.
+
+Genuine Basic/Advanced four-seat fixtures use original faction setup, Moritani
+placement, real worms, a reciprocal pact, paid Emperor entry and detonation,
+then a later real Nexus. Only original unplayed Spice Card order is staged.
+The original Moritani6/Emperor1 casualties stay in Tanks; after a new
+Moritani/Emperor pact, hand limits remain Moritani3, former Atreides3, Emperor4.
+An unallied activation leaves the later ally at4. A real later Robbery arrival
+also forms Enemy of My Enemy and returns the hidden token without moving the
+penalty. Migration, corrupted target custody and all four legal acceptance
+policies are exercised.
+
+Final six-file union112/112, types/lint and app build pass. Actual390×844 table
+break/offer/accept controls form the later pact while preserving the original
+Aftermath and public provisional notice. Former Atreides still shows hand
