Compose Guild Cunning with physical Ornithopter movement

Provisionally let either physical card mode replace an earned unused Hajr movement after the second shipment. Keep active group rights separate from actual completed credits and original movement counts. Add v3 original-count receipts while preserving old formats; abandon partial flights through a bound discard suffix before Cunning resumes. Connect persistent controls and minimal legal bot candidates.

Validation: frozen13-file125/125, types/lint/build and eight original-action/rendered-table continuations. Public ready/start, cache1/Hajr1 purchases, real worm/alliance/Guild Nexus draw and paid first2/second1 shipments cover both modes, earlier flights and Basic early endings. Eight minimal policy proposals are legal. No frozen repair; bounded continuation review found no concrete defect. New Semuta grammar lacks direct combined claim/capture proof. Wider combinations, complete modes, final assurance and browser/deployed acceptance remain open. No saved-room/reset/restart/deployment operation.

 This checkpoint follows the [Guild source contract](NEXUS_GUILD_RULES.md): native Guild can spend Cunning when finishing its ordinary Shipment and Movement turn to obtain one second shipment. It preserves one combined turn and the actual history of the first shipment and movement. It does not implement Guild Secret Ally, Betrayal or complete Nexus play.
 
+## Physical Ornithopter composition — 18 October 2026
+
+The [printed Guild face](NEXUS_GUILD_RULES.md#primary-evidence) grants only
+one second shipment; Hajr remains necessary for later movement. Under the
+standing recommended-composition policy, the physical Ornithopter may replace
+one earned unused Hajr allowance after that shipment. This is an explicit
+provisional interaction, not a new publisher FAQ or a free ordinary move.
+
+Range-three mode consumes that allowance once. Two-group mode retains both
+original distinct groups even after the first consumes the underlying Hajr
+allowance; only actually completing both groups earns the extra physical-move
+credit. Original movement counters still count every group. Earlier completed
+flights retain their earned credit when Cunning is declared. A spent Hajr
+cannot be reused merely by playing either card.
+
+Declaring Cunning during an unfinished ordinary flight abandons its remaining
+optional group and discards the physical card before resuming the original
+Cunning response. The new bounded `ornithopterDiscard` source `cunning` parks
+that response rather than ending the turn. Ordinary early ending after Cunning
+uses the existing end-turn suffix and completes the Cunning lifecycle. Neither
+early ending earns the abandoned group's credit. Existing discard consumers,
+including Semuta's supported-suffix grammar, retain the actual saved response.
+This alone does not certify every capture/claim combination.
+
+New v3 receipts bind the original completed Ornithopter count as well as actual
+Hajr plays. Optional signed lifecycle snapshots retain final earned counts after
+phase resets. Exact v1/v2 receipt bytes and unstamped lifecycle signatures keep
+their original meanings; an older active receipt can acquire a genuinely earned
+new credit without rewriting its original history. The pure helper never invents
+rights for an unfinished flight; the engine retains that flight's own ceiling.
+
+Controls keep the Hajr prerequisite and provisional interpretation visible;
+all four minimal policies can propose legal first/second card groups. Strategic
+AI refinement, wider combinations, full modes and final assurance remain open.
+The frozen batch passes **13 files125/125**, types/lint/build and eight finite
+original-action/rendered-table continuations. Two genuine public ready/start
+programmes use81 Basic/93 Advanced source actions: cache Ornithopter1 and normal
+Hajr1 purchases, turn2 worm and reciprocal Richese/Emperor alliance, actual
+closing Guild Nexus draw from the unopened deck and paid reserve shipment2.
+Each real second reserve shipment pays1; six to eight continuation actions cover
+both modes, completed earlier flights and Basic early endings. Eight first/
+second-group policy proposals are legal. Another original-action regression
+rejects the held card with no earned Hajr or with its grant already spent.
+Nine new pure cases cover original credits, earned/completed counts, safe bounds,
+strict v3 shapes and exact old receipt bytes/defaults.
+
+All frozen checks passed without repair. Actual GameTable views and isolated
+controls with accepted drafts render; no select/submit browser click. A bounded
+read-only continuation/count review found no concrete defect. Prior Semuta
+Homeworld/disposal regressions pass, but the new Cunning suffix itself has native
+response proof rather than direct combined Semuta claim/capture evidence.

 **Movement remains bounded.** The second shipment does not grant an ordinary movement. Ending the first ordinary movement by declining it cannot leave an ordinary move available for newly shipped forces. The express exception is Hajr. If Hajr is played after the second shipment, retain the same active player until its optional legal extra move finishes or is declined. A previously played but unspent Hajr move can remain available under ordinary allowance composition; a Hajr move already consumed before the second shipment cannot grant a third move. Track the actual remaining allowance, not merely whether Hajr appears in a played-card list. A later move checks current ornithopter access normally.

 **Separate native cancellations.** Cunning creates an enhanced native shipment allowance. Treating its declaration as a cancelable native enhancement is the common Cunning/general Karama composition. Cancellation consumes the attempted Nexus use but grants no second shipment and cannot undo the first shipment or completed movement. This is distinct from permitting a second shipment while canceling its discounted rate or its cross/return form. The base FAQ explicitly treats those native advantages separately; one generic cancellation must not silently choose all three outcomes. Existing rate/route cancellation limitations remain implementation work. Independent Karama shipment permission also has its own payment route; it must not silently authorize a second shipment after Cunning itself was canceled.
