+**Emperor gift during Moritani Extortion — 29 October. Prototyped / Partial.**
+In clean Basic and Advanced Moritani games, the Emperor can give the current
+allied payer spice before their Extortion choice; the original queue, token and
+bank award survive allowance or Karama cancellation. A previously unaffordable
+payment, rendered controls and legal bot responses pass. Thirty-one related
+cases, TypeScript, lint and production build pass. A bot payer can still act
+before a human Emperor gifts; other interruptions and deployed acceptance
+remain open.
